Whatsoever My Hands Find To Do
According to Google:
I have a slightly different take on the idle hands thing that I have incorporated into my daily mantra. It goes: “Whatsoever my hands find to do this day I shall do with my whole heart finding purpose in even the most menial and repetitive of tasks.”
I believe it is important for our health and well-being that we keep not just our minds occupied, but our hands and our bodies as well. Since I over came my childhood shyness in my late teens, I have had little trouble keeping my mouth busy. I am my father’s son with what the Irish call a “gift of gab.” I do not recall kissing the Blarney Stone, but I must have in another life the memories of which elude me.
Keeping our hands and minds occupied leaves little room for boredom, that silent killer that leaves many a sad and depressed soul resigned to a life that might more aptly be described as “living dead.”
Don’t want to be a zombie? Keep your mind and your hands busying with plans and small movements toward making those plans become realities. I said yesterday that the Universe beholds our baby steps and by them determines our true desires and bends time and space to grant our dreams and desires in the most expedient way. Well, I may not expressed it in that much detail, but that is what I meant to say.
One of my favorite songs is about hands, Grandma’s Hands by Bill Withers. Check out the link to the song below.
