Going the “second mile” — or going beyond the call of duty — makes for a better way of life.

The secret is in giving more than is actually required, doing more than is expected. The secret is in appealing to the best in human nature, rather than the worst. Going the second mile leaves a deposit of happiness in the heart of the one who travels it. We know we have measured up to and even gone beyond that which was demanded of us. It makes us feel good about ourselves.

Going the second mile also brings out the best in others. When we see other people being loving, kind and good, it makes us want to be better. Going the second mile makes the burdens of life lighter. Doing more than our part makes the world a better and happier place to live.

If you have to go one mile, just throw in another for good measure — you’ll be a winner

“And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”-- Abraham Lincoln

Who knows what Abraham Lincoln would have accomplished if he had lived longer. The 16th president of the United States, Lincoln was just 56 when he was assassinated. He was a man who continually strove to better himself and increase his knowledge. Farmer, storekeeper, captain, legislator, gifted writer and speaker, lawyer, circuit court judge, president…

Lincoln’s law partner once said that “his ambition was a little engine that knew no rest.” His second inaugural address contained words which grace the Lincoln Memorial today --“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in...”

In 56 years Lincoln accomplished much, but who knows what he might have achieved had he finished his work

“It is not often given in a noisy world to come to the places of great grief and silence.”
--Sarah Orne Jewett

Loss is always a part of life. Loved ones, friends, trusted leaders die and cannot be replaced. For each person who knew them, the sense of loss is different. But each of us needs to take the time to recognize that loss; we need to take the time to grieve, to pause in our busy lives to reflect on the void that this person’s passing has created in us.

We need to take the time to try and understand what they meant to us in life and appreciate what they gave us. Grief is a powerful emotion. It changes people. We may become more detached, quieter, more appreciative of life and its many gifts.

Silence is one of the special gifts we need to recognize, for it can bring the peace of acceptance. Through grief one can begin to heal.
