"Compassion compels us to reach out to all living beings, including our so -called enemies, those people who upset or hurt us. Irrespecitve of what they do to you, if you remember that all beings like you are only trying to be happy, you will find it much esier to develop compassion towards them" Dalai Lama
I often wonder why it is people have to make life so much harder and more intolerable for others when life itself is full of challenges. The great Dalai Lama has explained and defined the meaning of compassion beautifully and it should be a word or more a motto that the human race should learn to start living by, in fact we can start right here right now with just YOU AND I .
A heart was layed in all of our bodies, love was planted in all of our hearts, so why is it exactly that some tune into that love and spread it so caringly to others, while others do just the opposite....CHOICES!! thats all it is my friend. Many of us have had difficult lives, many of us have suffered BUT its up to YOU , no one else but YOU whether or not you want to use that love that was originally planted in your heart for the right reasons or purely for hurt!! YOU DECIDE!!!
I guess I was more tolerant of people and their issues or problems growing up, because I knew deep inside I had a set of my own after my child hood incident , in fact by the time I hit my adult years, I could safely say to people , "may i park my trailer on your verge while I come visit you? its got all my baggage in it!! " Man, i was a mess!! but you know what, I chose to find life again, I chose to start being positive, I chose to read up on some of my fears to better understand them, I chose to strengthen my faith, I chose to focus on my career, I chose to work on my self............I CHOSE!!!!!!
If you are in a downward spiral for whatever reason , make today your day of CHOOSING A NEW BEGINNING , CHOOSING TO FREE YOUR HEART OF THE PAST BITTERNESS AND ANGER AND CHOOSING TO FILL IT WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION...........say to yourself everyday, TODAY I AM LOVE, COMPASSION AND KINDESS...........and become it. you can do it, you are capable of it, no matter your past, your family's history or what you may have done or did not do, My friend, Let me remind you of ONE thing before I end this off, Your upbringing DOES NOT DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE, OR WHO YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING OR WHAT YOUR ARE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING, but then again, you need to CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT.
TODAY IS A NEW DAY, A NEW BEGINNING........TODAY YOU CHOOSE LOVE, COMPASSION!!
