How Kindness Heals…

Leave a comment

When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside.  – Rabbi Harold Kushner

self

We can’t truly be kind to others if we’re not feeling right on the inside. We must feel loving and gentle before we can be kind. In other words we must be gentle to self before it shows up for others. It can work the other way too. Just like smiling makes us feel better despite how we feel…

acts

Acts of kindness create a virtuous cycle. We feel good on the inside and act with kindness, in turn we feel even better on the inside. The joy we experience keeps rising!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM kind inside and out!

Why Simplicity Wins…

Leave a comment

I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.  – Will Rogers

better to…

It’s better to be made a fool than to be cunning. It’s better to give more than we want to receive. It’s better to think of others before we think of us. It’s much better to be selfless than to be selfish.

being simple

Being simple-minded means that we trust God and his Universe. We don’t excessively strategize and plan for our lives. We spend time instead marveling at God’s handiwork and understanding his will. Life then becomes a true adventure and we are like kids in a playground!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM simple-minded.

What A Butterfly Reveals!

Leave a comment

…Expecting nothing, am always full of thanks for moderate goods.  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

expectation

We all know that expectation is at the root of most suffering. We want things to happen a certain way, they don’t, we suffer. We want others to be one way, they don’t comply, we like them not. Why do we do this to self?

butterflies

We can decide to be like a butterfly. We are exuberant and colorful. We alight where beauty resides and partake of the nectar that’s freely available. We expect naught and experience joy!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a butterfly!

Why We Must Loosen Up…

Leave a comment

Sit loosely in the saddle of life.  – Robert Louis Stevenson

easy

If we grasp too tightly we’ll get tired, be stressed and miss out on what else is going on. We must let go and start to flow. The journey is the end.

Let’s be like children. We play and then we rest. Life happens and we still get to grow and have a blast! What else is there?
