If a person showed you much kindness in the past, make those your primary thoughts about him or her. Downplay the things which they did that may have been hurtful to you. When you feel that someone should remember the good things which you did, keep in mind that they feel the same way about you.

Starting along a spiritual path is easy, as we are very enthusiastic when we start. Following it to the end, though, is much more difficult. Walking along at the same pace, over and over again, can breed monotony and boredom.

Keep on your personal path, no matter if anyone else has walked it or not. When you come to the end, you will find immense joy and spiritual fulfillment.

If you can’t seem to find the spiritual light that you are seeking, then become the light for someone else. You might discover that which you are looking for.
