“Living a good life has more to do with how authentic you live and allowing the consequences of that engagement to flow through your experience.” -Tadayoshi Inoue
Default to Truth and the Pain of Others
“…when we interpret the outward expressions and responses of others and we assume that this is how they really feel on the inside. We trust them.”
Loss and Death
“If we could see our loved ones who have passed on from this life gathered together they would most likely be waving at us as if to say: “There is no leaving. We are always here.”
Everything we want and experience informs us
“I do not need anything more than my ability to find a point of view that will empower me and uplift me.”
The Religion of Kindness
“When I offer anything from a place of love, then love is what I am really asking the universe for more of.”
What We Receive We Offer
“You simply can’t offer what you don’t have in that moment. Realizing our own value by reminding ourselves with loving speech and a loving perspective about ourselves is vital to feeling our own wellbeing.”
Changing Perspectives and Love
Letting go and surrendering our life’s outcomes and instead choosing the beliefs and perspectives that empower us is a pathway to mastering the life experience that we all came to this life to have.
Kindness is a superpower
Aside from the gender bias of Thomas Carlyle’s quote which I do not like, the essence of what Carlyle is saying is especially poignant in our current state of affairs in the wold. How we treat each other in our daily lives right now is a reflection of the greatness that we each have the opportunity to show each other. It is actually in our own enlightened self-interest, in which kindness and compassion can unlock life’s abundances through our collaboration with others. Kindness has a way of connecting self interest with collaboration. When we act in kindness toward any person we essentially join them in working toward a common goal. When we collaborate, are more successful and we are more powerful. As a matter of fact, when we act with compassion then collaboration seems to be the default.
