You are not here to do it all alone. That would be crazy! Do you know how to grow rice, spin yard or make electricity? No one does it all alone. That’s why people have each other. Relying on and supporting each other is what makes the world go round. Don’t be shy about asking for help.
the quality of life is a result of many small actions.
It’s not New Year resolutions, nor big promises that make or break life, it’s the innumerable small actions you take every hour that compound into a life well lived. Look at how you are living moment to moment to know whether at the end of your life you will be looking back with pride or sorrow.
life is not a distraction from, life is an occasion for prayer.
You don’t need a special place or special time to pray. You don’t need to be in a special mood to pray. Praying is like breathing, – continuous, essential, life-giving, – praying is the conversation with God you start with birth and continue into old age. Praying is your celebration of God, – everything you do, everything you think, everything you say is another word, another sentence of your prayer.
you are unique and precious.
When you try to value yourself for being the best in something, you are bound to fail. Even Olympic champions are the best only for a few years. You are precious to God not because there is no one better than you, but because you are a unique creation of mind, body and spirit, – there is no one like you, – and that is exactly what makes you so indescribably precious.
A lesson on life
have some patience.
Trying to force life to unfold faster than it is meant to is futile. Call forth your patience, and let it move at its own pace.
A must try
when you want God to knock on your door, you go and knock on God’s door.
Give of yourself and you shall receive.
you have so many gifts! – use them.
God has given you so many gifts to sow love and to give hope, to shine light and to spread joy. Abundant gifts. Use them. Give to yourself and give to others. There is an endless spring where they come from.
you can be like a tree which is both rooted and reaching.
In what ways can you root yourself in a reality or an environment which serves your need for stability? And in which ways can you reach toward the heavens for inspiration and connection to Divine?
