做好事,说好话, 存好心

Have been watching 宫心计for the past few weeks and admiring 三好's motto of "做好事,说好话, 存好心".

Let me add that doing good deeds, saying good things, and maintaining a good/kind heart is not as easy as one thinks and takes a lot of courage. Also, better make sure that what you believe to be"good" is really good.

And just this week, the lyrics of a hymn I used to sing a lot popped into my mind when I was feeling a little down and uncertain again.

"Grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my soul."

Beautiful words that teach us not to be self-centred and seek everyone to be on your side of the argument, but to constantly try to help others by giving consolation, understanding and loving whole-heartedly.

Jiayou jiayou!
