"Everything we do can be done with one intention, to wake up, to ripen our compassion, and we want to ripen our ability to let go, we want to realize our connection with all beings. Everything in our life has the potential to put us to sleep or wake us up, allowing it to awaken us is up to us."
I feel like this idea of allowing things to awaken us is so applicable to my life. Instead of just shutting down and going to sleep over what I am dealt with, I want to be awakened and do with it what I can to make a difference. Someone emailed me yesterday saying that they read some of my postings and that it encouraged them to reach out to a friend in need. That was the greatest gift to me, to hear that my words were encouraging to someone and that the encouragement allowed that person to touch another's life. How much better of a gift could there be?!
Again, another great perspective. I have been struggling with some stuff (not serious or anything like that) and have been letting it get me down. This is motivational. A different perspective/view can change everything. This is so good.
