LIVE AND ACT IN A SPIRIT OF LOVE

The place to begin to improve the world
is in your own heart, head and hands.
To get along with others,
love them without forcing your love upon them.

Imposing your beliefs on people will not bring you peace.
Have concern for others, respect their rights and freedoms,
and let them be themselves.
Do this and you will enjoy peace.

Having consideration for others is the basis of a good life.
Most people are not against you,
they are merely for themselves.
Let differing ideas clash, but not those of the heart.

Peace comes to you when you live and act in a spirit of love.

I don’t know about you ,but I see a theme emerging in the messages and emails that have been coming my way this past week.

- who am I ?
- who am I in relationship with you ?
- who are you ?

Is the focus on you or me or both ?Are we all reflecting more than usual ? Knowing me , knowing you .. yes .. I am very curious about me and about you .

"Our deepest need is for the joy that comes with loving and being loved, with knowing we are of genuine use to others."
