Tax Day is here…

“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.”

Albert Einstein

tax day is here

It is everyone’s favorite day of the year. I know, that I am so happy once this day has passed, there is simply so much to do and stress over leading up to April 15th. So, I am thrilled that it arrives on a friday this year, so we can all celebrate that Tax Day is behind us!

Hopefully, this weekend can be spent remembering all the great deeds you did this past year and the lives that you touched.

Isn’t that what is really important?

A man of value

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”  Albert Einstein

So, this week I am back at it, launching our oldest son to his new college. I have so many things that I feel need to be said, but this quote says everything.

I have always told our sons that my purpose in life is to raise good men who make our world better. My goal was never to raise rocket scientists or billionaires but rather good men. On friday, I will bid our oldest son goodbye and give the world my greatest gifts, my sons.

There is simply no greater gift one can give.

The greatest power of all

love, Einstein 1921

I was scrolling through Facebook the other day in procrastination mode and I came across this post that was supposedly a lost letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter. Fact checking, yes we do that here, proved that sadly this letter was a fake. However, I decided that I wanted to share it with you regardless of its origin because it is beautiful….whoever the author.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.

This universal force is LOVE. 

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. 

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.

Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy.

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet. 

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

Charity Matters Quotes

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

Be of value

As the first month of 2014 comes to a close, I thought Albert Einstein’s words were a great way to say goodbye to January.

I hope this post has been of value to you and that you have a wonderful weekend and fantastic February!

Labor Day Weekend

 

“A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.”

Albert Einstein

I must exert myself in order to give the same measure I have received……

I love these words. There are many who have gone before us to make this great life and great country a reality.  This holiday weekend remember those who have gone before us and the hard work that has brought us to this point. I will continue to exert myself in order to give in the same measure I have received and I’m sure you will too.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
