I would like to give you something to ponder on for today:

12 PLATITUDES OF SPIRITUAL AWARENESS

1. “Love is how it feels to recognize our essential unity. Awakening to Oneness is the experience of Big Love. Knowing you are one with all, you find yourself in love with all.” —Timothy Freke
2. “If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.” —Rabbi Harold Kushner
3. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched… but are felt in the heart.” —Helen Keller
4. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dwell in the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
5. “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Buddha
6. “To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.” —Johannes A. Gaertner
7. “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy is when men are afraid of the light.”—Plato
8. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.” —Henry Van Dyke
9. “Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible, it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” —Barbara DeAngelis
10. “The highest form of spiritual work is the realization of the essence of man…. You never learn the answer; you can only become the answer.” —Richard Rose
11. “Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.” Smiley Blanton
12. “As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.” —Dalai Lama

Namaste!!
