HuRU Crew Let’s talk about something that might make you a little uncomfortable... Time. If we assume an average lifespan of 82 years, that gives a person roughly 30,000 days of life.(29,930 actually… not counting leap years.) 30,000 sunrises. 30,000 chances to experience life. 30,000 opportunities to build something meaningful. But let’s be honest... Most of us aren’t really in the driver’s seat for those first 18 years (maybe even longer). We're learning, growing, figuring things out. So if the real responsibility for our lives starts around 18, that leaves us with about 23,360 days to truly shape the life we live. Now here’s where this got personal for me. I’m 57 years old, turning 58 this September. Which means I’ve already used roughly 14,200 of those days. That leaves about 9,100 days if everything goes according to the averages. Now that’s not meant to be dark or dramatic. It’s meant to be clarifying. Let me ask you something... How fast has 2026 gone so far? Doesn’t it feel like January 1st was just yesterday? The days move fast. The years move faster. Which brings me to something I hear people say all the time: "I'm just trying to get through the day." Next time you catch yourself saying that... STOP. Slow it down. The days already move fast enough on their own. No need to help speed up the process. Notice the moments. Take the walk. Make the call. Start the thing you keep putting off. Because the truth is... You don’t need thousands of days to change your life. Sometimes it only takes one day when you finally decide to live it differently. So here’s the question for the HuRU Crew today: What are you going to do with the days you have left? 👇 Let’s hear it.

Meditation for the day I do not compete with anybody, and neither should you. Here are the reasons why. You can’t take what was meant for me, and I don't want what was meant for you. You can’t have what's mine, and I don't want what's yours. All I want is to be better today than I was yesterday and to be better tomorrow than I was today. If you continuously compete with others, you're going to get bitter, but if you compete with yourself, you're going to get better.

Powerful Native American Prayer No matter how cheery of a person you may be, it’s not always easy to keep your spirits up 100% of the time... we all have “one of those days.” This is where a mindfulness prayer can really come in handy. This short Native American prayer is a reminder of the beauty and wonders of the world. Its few short lines speak to our most basic, human concerns. It manifests joy, love, and peace. and most importantly, it reminds us to express thanks and gratitude. After all, no matter our circumstances, there is always something to be grateful for. Take a deep breath and let your mind pore over the ancient words below: Dear Great Spirit, You are inside of me, within my very breath, within each bird, each mighty mountain. Your sweet touch reaches everything, and I am well protected. Thank you for this beautiful day before me. May joy, love, peace, and compassion be part of my life and all those around me on this day. I am healing, and I am healed. Sometimes, when the world outside feels heavy, all we need to do is look within ourselves for that soul spark of joy and beauty!

Acts of Random Kindness June 29, 2007 By Bear Warrior Gonzales What if changing the world didn’t require wealth, power, or fame? What if the power to change the world was already in your hands hidden in the simple act of kindness? Tonight, I took my fiancée out on our regular Friday night date. First, we picked up my paycheck and cashed it, and then we went out to dinner. After dinner we went to the movies and watched the film Evan Almighty. In the movie, Evan runs for Congress under the campaign slogan “Change the World.” He wins the election, and suddenly, his whole world begins to change. Then God, played by Morgan Freeman, appears in his life and asks him, “You want to change the world, right?” Evan answers yes. God then tells him the way to change the world is by practicing Acts of Random Kindness, one act at a time. That idea made me stop and think. Changing the world doesn’t begin with massive movements or grand speeches. It begins with something much simpler one act of kindness at a time. And it doesn’t stop after one act. It becomes a way of living. It becomes a part of your daily life. In the movie, Evan’s wife almost leaves him because of the changes happening in his life. That part made me think even deeper. Many people are afraid of change, and sometimes, they walk away when they see it happening. I remember when I began changing in my own life. People were afraid of me because of my reputation. They believed that if they disrespected me or someone I loved, they would pay a heavy price. I was filled with anger, hatred, and violent rage. When I began to change, something interesting happened. Some people started mistaking my kindness for weakness. Others tried to take advantage of it. I had to show them something important: Kindness is not weakness. Kindness is strength under control. When you begin practicing acts of random kindness regularly, some people will misunderstand you. Some will try to take advantage of you. But that’s okay. We live in a world where many people look at life only for what they can get out of it, a world where the “dog-eat-dog” mentality is common. But if you practice acts of random kindness with a pure heart without seeking gain, recognition, or approval, you will be blessed, and you will help change this world.

It really matters who you put on your team. We hired a loading crew with great reviews. The owner even said he’d be there supervising the load. Everything sounded right. But once they started, we realized something wasn’t working. They ignored the plan we walked through and never communicated with each other. One declared he was playing a terrific game of Tetris. When they said the truck was “full,” we still had an entire room of belongings left in the house. They left proud of the job they’d done. We spent the evening reloading the truck ourselves in the dark. We managed to get most of the leftovers on board, but not enough. In the end, we had to rent another truck and make a second trip between Los Angeles and Arizona. When the unloading crew in Arizona opened the truck, it was obvious why — heavy containers stacked on top, light items crushed underneath, furniture scratched from being shoved in randomly. But it reminded us of something important: the people you choose at the beginning matter. The right team makes everything smoother. The wrong team creates problems everyone else has to work twice as hard to fix. A lesson we won’t forget anytime soon.
