TO honor the power of the human spirit and what it can generate for our lives and those of the people around us, World Human Spirit Day is celebrated on February 17 each year.
At three o’clock on this day, millions of people around the world will hold two minutes of silent meditation to bring the energy of universal healing and peace into the hearts and minds of humanity. The event is also an opportunity for us to reflect upon the intangible means by which the human spirit affects our lives and gain some understanding of the human nature which provides us with the will to live and survive.
We grow stronger with all the trials and tribulations which test us each day. We become more resilient to challenges in our lives. There are many examples of inspiring human spirit we encounter each day. We see children and their elders building bonds of respect and trust. We see parents smile as they bring their children to school. We enjoy hearing stories of how a community pulled together to help a family with its problems. The power of the human spirit can bring about peace and harmony and improve the lives of many.
We all have tremendous potentials. Most are not aware of it and do not capitalize on it, tending to be satisfied with weakness, little realizing that we are capable of much more. Some are lucky to find this hidden strength and use it. Some are taught the hard way when stressful situations arise and force us to rely on our last hope of survival – our human spirit. Hold close to this immense strength and face the challenges in the world with a smile.
