Give yourself the gift of forgiving others,
not because THEY deserve it,
but because YOU deserve the serenity and joy
that comes from releasing resentment and anger.
Unconditional forgiveness is the path to your own inner peace.

My apologies for being late today.
"In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger - something better, pushing right back." ~ Albert Camus

Simply give others a bit of yourself; a thoughtful act, a helpful idea,
a word of appreciation, a lift over a rough spot,
a sense of understanding, a timely suggestion. You take something
out of your mind, garnished in kindness out of your heart,
and put it into the other person's mind and heart.

Every act has its effect. To do nothing is an act that stems from feelings of hopelessness and despair. Please remember, no matter how dark the future looks, you can make a difference. When you live the true life you were sent here to live, the difference you make will enhance life rather than destroy it. Do not spend time worrying how big a difference you make. Anything that enhances a life makes a difference; helping one individual recover from a broken heart; easing one person's pain; helping one ugly duckling discover his or her beauty. Keep working as long as you live, and live as long as you can, and when you finish your marathon they will hang a medal around your neck that says, "You Make a Difference."

Passion doesn't come from business or books or even a connection with another person. It is a connection with our own life force, the world around you and the spirit that connects us all. You are the source. Books, work, music, people, sunsets all provide sparks, but only you can light the fire.

The gift of attention to each other is "passing on" the love of God. In order to feel love, we have to give it away. We will know love when we give love. Each day, each one of us can ease the pain of a friend, a co-worker, a child. The beauty of God's plan for us all is that our own pain is relieved in the process of easing the pain of another. Love is the balm. Loving others makes our lives purposeful. -unattributed

Patience is a form of wisdom.
It demonstrates that we understand and accept
the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.

Perhaps losing integrity with yourself is the greatest stress of all,
far more hurtful to us than competition, time pressure, or lack of
respect. Our vitality is rooted in our integrity. When we do not live
in one piece, our life force becomes divided. Becoming separated
from our authentic values may weaken us.

The world is moved along, not only
by the mighty shoves of its heroes,
but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes
of each honest worker.

Service is closer to generosity than it is to duty. It connects us to one another and to life itself. When we experience our connectedness, serving others becomes the natural and joyful thing to do. Over the long run, fixing and helping are draining but service is renewing. When you serve, your work itself will sustain you, renew you, and bless you, often over many years. -Rachel Naomi Remen

The book of life is filled with incoherent riddles.
Life's true lessons are inscribed in a corner of the margin.

The greatest power God gave us is the power to choose.
We have the opportunity to choose whether we're going
to act or procrastinate, believe or doubt, pray or curse,
help or heal. We also choose whether we're going
to be happy or whether we're going to be sad.

We restore the holiness of the world through our loving-kindness and compassion. Everyone
participates. It is a collective task. Every act of
loving-kindness, no matter how great or small, repairs
the world. All those ever born have shared this
collective work since the beginning of time.

In view of the horrific storms -- Texas, V. Islands, Cuba, Fla. and Mexico's earthquake:
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother
would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people
who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember
my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there
are still so many helpers--so many caring people in this world.

Grace has been defined as the outward expression
of the inward harmony of the soul.

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
- Mary Anne Radmacher0 -
Our lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible,
and truly it seems that we are never so alive as when
we concern ourselves with other people.
- Harry Chapin0 -
Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,
Love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life moves.

Encouragement is being a good listener, being positive, letting others
know you accept them for who they are. It is offering hope,
caring about the feelings of another, understanding.

We ought not to progress in life by a series of violent jerks, but should learn to navigate our lives upon the flowing stream of change. By being amenable and adaptable we should cease to resent either life or conditions, and seek to "change" them by changing ourselves. -Ronald Beesley

If we wait to foil a bank robbery or rescue someone tied on the railroad tracks we will never be a hero. We probably won't even come across a cat stuck in a tree. As long as we sit at the bus stop waiting for our great moment we will miss our real chance at the heroic: the infinite number of tiny daily acts inspired by the great. Our actions may seem insignificant, but their results will grow and multiply.

Power isn't control at all--power is strength, and giving that
strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others
to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his
or her strength to others that they may have the strength to
stand on their own.

The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts your perception
to such an extent that it changes the world you see.
- Robert Holden0 -
At the close of life the question will be not
how much have you got, but how much have
you given; not how much have you won,
but how much have you done; not how much
have you saved, but how much have you
sacrificed; how much have you loved and
served, not how much were you honored.
Nathan C. Schaeffer0 -
It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of
than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.
Have you used one to say "thank you?"
