Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.

Receiving and giving money may be a measure of your wealth, but receiving and giving friendship is a measure of how rich your life is.

Holiness is not manifest, yet it exists in every circumstance. As with electricity when you turn on a light, you can’t see it; but it’s there, and it’s all powerful.

If we all kept doing what is honorable, ethical and moral, there would be no need for most of our laws and civil rights. We would live not as a country of takers but as a country of givers. Then we could truly be one nation under God.

If you believe in God, or a Higher Power, you believe the Omnipotent usually allows for tolerance and acceptance. If you are judged, the verdict is often tempered with love and compassion. . . despite your acts.

So walking down a path of goodness and holiness means moving in a judicious and more temperate direction.

People are victimized when someone talks down to them, showing disrespect and ultimately devaluing him or her.

If you feel victimized, not everyone feels that way about you. You have much good in you. The person verbally attacking you is in a bad place, often to hide his or her own faults or misgivings.

Keep your spirit on a higher plane by speaking well of others. If you just can’t do that for a particular person, keep your soul healthy by maintaining silence.

When you are finished learning new things, you are finished with your life. Life has many low points which might consume you, but increasing your knowledge lets you know life is filled with splendor.

So… what will you learn today?

An easy way for you to get something is analogous to picking up a flower or a sea shell. Yet its importance or significance is fleeting.

A difficult way for you to get something is comparable to finding a best friend or your soul mate. The importance and significance of that can last you a lifetime.

May you find a good spiritual outcome through many of your difficult journeys.

Whether you think someone is good or not may be misleading. Some may not follow your religion, but lead a good life and do good deeds. They may be more precious to the Almighty than leaders (religious or otherwise) who don’t follow principles of those who look to them for good behavior and spiritual guidance.

Virtue is not dependent on religious mores. Just be as virtuous as you can to gain the most favor from the Blessed One.

A good deed done joyfully gives pleasure to you as well as to the receiver. It reveals the depth of your relationship with the Omnipresent.
