All my best wishes for a wonderful New Year filled with all the blessings that your minds and hearts can hold.
I'd like to share some of my favorite quotes, all of which continue to touch my heart when I read them and think about them.
"With our thoughts, we make the world." Buddha
"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." Maya Angelou
"What is most important is to discover peace, and to share it with others." Thich Nhat Hahn
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." Eleanor Roosevelt
The Prayer of Socrates: "Grant to me that I may be made beautiful in my soul within, and that all external possessions be in harmony with my inner self."
"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." Agnes Repplier
"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." Emerson
"As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth." Buddha
Let us remember that for every angry and violent action that we see, read, or hear about, there are thousands, if not millions of others who go about their daily lives in peace, doing the best they can; being kind to themselves, their families and friends; doing their part to help those in need; praying for peace. In living ordinary lives in love and peace, we are transformed into the extraordinary and become the light of the world.
Be the mountain unshaken by the wind. Regardless of what others are doing, be your best self; live your best life; be a light.....and the darkness disappears.
Peace, joy, and love, always, to you and to all.
