[

True kindness presupposes the faculty of imagining
as one's own the suffering and joys of others."
-

*~*~*~*~*~*

Kindness

Kindness is one of the most
powerful tools available to you.
Kindness can positively transform
your world in a way that nothing else can.
When your heart is filled with kindness,
your thoughts and actions are driven by a positive,
creative force.
Instead of being needlessly distracted by anger,
envy or despair, your eyes are more
fully open to the many valuable possibilities.

Act with kindness toward others.
You'll create an atmosphere of understanding and cooperation
in which amazing things can be accomplished.

Be kind to yourself.
You'll make it possible to clearly focus your
considerable creative energy on achieving
the highest and best of your dreams.

Choose to act with kindness,
and you free yourself from
the heavy burden of negativity.
Persist in your kindness,
and you rise to higher and higher levels of true,
meaningful accomplishment.

Kindness transforms profoundly and spreads quickly.
Let kindness freely flow from you,
and it will surely change your world...

[size=18][/sizWhen Molehills Become Mountains
When molehills become mountains
You think you cannot climb,
Remember Everest was conquered
One step at a time.

If you keep your sense of humor,
You can endure the pain,
And when you reach the summit,
Your losses will be gains.

You can linger at the bottom
With multitudes of men,
But you may stay there forever
And wonder what might have been.

Life always offers choices
When troubles come our way,
And molehills become mountains
That will not pass away.

Our Mountains become molehills
One step at a time.

[size=18Ah.... saying is sooooo much easier than done!!

Let Go
Just as the bird has to find the courage to let go of the branch in order to fly, so we also must let go of our branches if we are to know the exhilaration of soaring to the highest potential of our life. The branches we hold to are our inner attachments - our beliefs, ideas and memories. And then there are the outer attachments - people, possessions, positions and privileges are a few. But as long as we hold on to them we will live in fear (of letting go and loss) and we will never be free. And just watch those birds, by letting go of one branch they are able to spend the rest of their life alighting on a million other branches, and they enjoy the view from each.
Are you flying and soaring in your life, or are you stuck on one branch, cursing others as they fly past. Go on, try it ...let go!

Am not yet soaring......
