Snips...



When you find yourself in any situation that seems to call up unloving responses in you, remember that you have a choice. You can make yourself miserable by staying in the judgment and blame, or you can release the other person to Spirit. Everyone has the right to make their own 'mistakes' and to learn in the way they choose. Rather than place your focus on them, place it on yourself. Everything that comes to you is an opportunity for love and healing. Everything is there to help us regain our inner peace and innate state of love and harmony.
Marie T. Russell

To me, God and compassion are one and the same. Compassion is the joy of sharing. It's doing small things for the love of each other-just a smile, or carrying a bucket of water, or showing some simple kindness. These are the small things that make up compassion.
Mother Teresa

“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.”
Marcus Aurelius
