Food for Thought

·       There is a transcendental purpose to our being in this earthly realm.

·       Our life on Earth is temporary, but it has a purpose that stretches into eternity.

·       Human beings are at best temporary custodians of Earth, certainly not its owners.

·     The Energy that drives us to act is the same Energy that is causing the already infinite universe to constantly further expand, and that, too, at an ever-increasing speed.

·     Birth and death, with just a few moments in between. That, basically, is the storyline of our life here, on Earth.

·       Death is release from the confines of the physical body.

·       Be a spectator-participant in the World Drama.

·       Life is meant to be gently savoured, not rushed through.

·       If you were not meant to be now where you are now, you wouldn’t be there now.

·       Do only what you have to.

·       A bad habit is best dropped if replaced with a good one.

·      Don’t simply criticize someone for a bad habit. Instead, show them the possibility of a better one that could take its place.

·       Waiting builds patience, even though sometimes it may feel excruciatingly painful.

·     You don’t know what goodness might lie under a seeming hard exterior of a person.

·       Interacting with someone always entails a risk, for you can’t know how they might behave, but, overall, it’s a risk worth taking.

·       One small act or expression of genuine concern for a person can change their whole attitude towards us.

·       Respond to requests for help as soon as you can.

·       Don’t delay in doing good.

·       Self-care is distinct from self-indulgence.

·       Success is simply this: To be and do just as God directs.

·       Respect a person for who and what they are, not merely for the position they hold.

·       Giving away things that you don’t like or need is not charity. It is simply disposing off unwanted stuff, lightening your load, clearing the clutter.

·       Share with others things you like.

·       Be useful to others (including non-humans) wherever you are.
