THIS IS A COPIED POST FROM A SOURCE NOT KNOWN AT THE TIME OF POSTING IT HERE ON TLF BLOG
*Die empty* 

 One of the most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry. 

 The author was inspired and got this idea of writing ​​this book while attending a business meeting. When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?" 

 One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."
Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa." 
Then the director said: "No it is the cemetery. 

 Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed, "they have died" and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light and benefited others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried." 

 Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book "Die empty." 

 Where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: 
"Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have. 

 *always choose to die empty*  

 The TRUE meaning of this expression, is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave If you have an idea perform it. If you have a knowledge give it out. If you have a goal achieve it. Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside. Shall we begin to give and remove and spread every atom of goodness inside us. 

 Start the race.... 

 *Die Empty*

Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am the LORD. Proverbs 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Proverbs 11:13 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden.

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
