The DAILY SPARK Blog

Full moon rising! Modern marketing culture is designed to amplify our desires.  To turn faint wants into desperate needs.  As a result, we're intimately familiar with what we want.  And we strive to get it.  The problem with getting what you want is that now you have a hole, because you don't want that thing anymore, you have it.  We then are on a cycle, eager to find a new thing to want.  Which means that the thing you used to want but now have fades in comparison.  There's a more resilient path:  To commit to wanting what you have.  From Seth Godin's Daily BlogREFLECTION:What desires, latest thing did you want and now have?  Has that been replaced by another thing you want?Examine what are you hoping to gain by this 'latest, greatest'  thing? Can you want what you have and appreciate it?

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.Quote by Martin Luther KingREFLECTION:Are you able to see the good in another?Is there someone whom you just can't find anything good about them?  This may take some work, but look to find something of redeeming quality about this person. Release yourself from the chains of hate.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.Quote by Martin Luther KingREFLECTION:These words from Martin Luther King - on the celebration of his life being honored in USA today remind us that TRUTH and LOVE win in the end.As divided as a world we are now, hope for a better world remains if we all stand on a foundation of love and truth.  BE LOVE TODAY!
