This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival; a joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and attend them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourable. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the same, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each guest has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Malal al-Din Rumi

When we look to the life of Jesus, we see He lived his life in a way that provides a template for our own. Jesus took the task that was his to do, and he did it with Love. For Jesus, that task was teaching. Your task may be to deliver the mail or to run a corporation. But whatever your livelihood, be fully present, fully engaged. Honor those at your workplace with your attention and support. Following Jesus, treat your work as a sacred art.

At any given moment we have two voices in our head: one which tells us we can't, and another which tells us we can. Which will prove true? The one we give the most attention to. The one we act on. The one we make a stand for.
Alan Cohen
Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.

"You just have to listen to your heart, no matter what," he told the other children, 'cause somewhere inside of us, where we feel our feelings, like in our hearts, there's a little voice. Not really a voice that talks out loud. But if you really listen, you can hear it. And it will know what you should do."
