Each of us has a finite amount of time, energy, and money; you must choose for yourself how you will spend them. The individual who has time only for gossip and slander is too busy for success. (Judith Williamson. Napoleon Hill’s Thought for the Day)
Wishing you peace and well being as you choose how you will spend your time.

When we share the source of our pain with each other instead of hurling our convictions like rocks at “enemies,” we have a chance to open our hearts and connect across some of our greatest divides. ( Parker J. Palmer. Healing the Heart of Democracy: The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit)
Wishing you peace and well being as your open your hearts.

There is an Indian saying: if you are struck by a poisonous arrow, it is important first to pull it out, there is no time to ask who shot it, what sort of poison it is and so on. First handle the immediate problem, and later we can investigate. Similarly, when we encounter human suffering, it is important to respond with compassion rather than question the politics of those we help. Instead of asking whether they are enemy or friend, we must think, “These are human beings, they are suffering, and they have a right to happiness equal to our own.”
Wishing you peace and well being as you look at your compassionate or hardened heart.

Resistance in everyday life provides us with many ways to manipulate situations. When we are presented with a challenge, we often try to turn away rather than having to face it. We come up with all kinds of excuses to avoid the demands that we feel are being put on us.
Wishing you peace and well being as you connect with your basic goodness.
