Today's
Meditation:
If
ever there were true words to live by, these may be
them! What a beautiful thought, and what a beautiful
way of living. An easy way of life? No, not at
all-- at least, not until we learn to give up most of our
expectations and judgments and prejudices. I believe
that when and if we do reach a place in life when it's
possible to live by these words, we will find ourselves at a
place at which our lives are incredibly fulfilling and
extremely enjoyable.
What
would it feel like to end each day knowing that we've spread
love and kindness? How liberating would it be to know
that we've helped other people to see life more brightly,
more joyously? What would it feel like to approach
each day knowing that we were going to take every
opportunity to brighten the lives of others?
Life
is short, and much of what we focus on really does very
little to make us better people or to help others to get the
most possible out of their trips through life. But we
are all on this trip together, and when I help out a fellow
traveler, I am also helping myself and everyone else on the
journey. All of our lives become more pleasant, more
fulfilling, and more enjoyable.
Let
us gladden the hearts of those who travel with us!
This is one of the few acts that has strong effects for
many, many people in life, and one that helps us to grow
truly into the people we were meant to become while we're
here.
