JUST GIVE

“I believe that service to humanity is the best work of life.  The world would be a better place if we can strive to make someone around us happy.  No matter how little, just give.”

Quote by Moses Newman

REFLECTION:

  • What gifts/services do you share with humanity?
  • How can you make someone happy today?
  • Just give!

A WELCOME MAT

The longing of the Mystic is to be at home with yourself and then put out a welcome mat so that others may find a welcome mat in you.

Quote by Father Gregory Boyle Gregory Joseph Boyle, S.J. is an American Catholic priest of the Jesuit order. He is the founder and director of Homeboy Industries, the world’s largest gang intervention and rehabilitation program, and former pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Los Angeles. Source: Wikipedia

REFLECTION:

  • Are you at home with yourself?
  • Are you able to put out a “welcome mat?”
  • Do others feel a welcoming presence with you?
  • How can you cultivate that?

LOOK WITHIN FIRST

If there is anything we wish to change in another, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that would better be changed in ourselves.

FROM:  C.G.Jung, The Integration of the Personality

REFLECTION:

  • You probably know the bible story of the plank and the speck…
  • Are you focused on wanting to change someone else?
  • Examine yourself… is this something that you need to change in yourself?
