The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
life happiness make-others-happy
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
motivational positive love-is
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
courage risk suffering
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.
