KINDNESS

Be kind whenever possible.  It is always possible.

Quote by the Dalai Lama

REFLECTION:

  • At times, it can feel very difficult to be kind – seeing injustice and what your perceive as “wrong” with the world. The Dalai Lama experienced first hand injustice and cruelty -yet he decided to choose kindness.
  • Choose kindness today!

COMPASSION

Heart carved into the tree trunk!

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin.  It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.

Quote by Frederick Buechner

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have the capacity to feel what it is like to live inside someone else’s skin?
  • For many, that is too painful and they choose not to go there. Yet, the truth is we truly can’t have peace in ourselves until there is peace in others.
  • We are our brother and sister’s keeper..  How can you be more compassionate today or in the days ahead to someone less fortunate than you?

TWO THINGS…

Two things we deal with our whole lives:  RELATIONSHIPS and MONEY. ONE of these will make us rich!

Quote by Dr. Dick Foth

REFLECTION:

  • People say they value relationships but really value money more. 
  • What do you truly value… Money or Relationships?
  • Demonstrate what you value today!
