Happiness

More about Thomas Merton you can read here!

Your light is seen

...your heart is known, your soul
is cherished by more people than you might imagine.

If you knew how many others have been touched in
wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If
you knew how many people feel so much for you, you
would be shocked.

You are far more wonderful than you think you are.
Rest with that. Rest easy with that. Breathe again. You
are doing fine. More than fine. Better than fine. You're
doin' great.  So relax. And love yourself today.

Then take in God's love. Right now, take it in.
You deserve it.
Neale

Stress

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you’re attached to something that’s not true for you.
 Byron Katie

Caution and observation

 ... caution is not the same as fear, and observation

is not the same as judgment.

  

Use your good sense about things, and don't let

others talk you out of simple caution and observation

by telling you that you are in "fear and judgment."

An ounce of prevention is still worth of pound of cure.

Make sense?

Neale

Love and Power

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Link to paradise (Milan Kundera)

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring-it was peace.”
Milan Kundera

Peace

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
Albert Einstein

Artificial or Real?

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real 

Thomas Merton

Value your team

Don't take employees for granted. If you don’t value your team, they won’t value your customers.

Richard Branson

Associate with the long-term effects

"In order to change anything, we have to fully associate with the long-term effects of the actions we take rather than the highs of the moment."
Yehuda Berg

Impatience

Impatience will get you nowhere, fast. If you insist on being in a hurry, you'll move very quickly -- and often get nowhere. Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace.

Neale Donald Walsch

Reality

Reality is always benevolent.

Byron Katie
