Practice

“In the Buddhist teaching,

it’s clear that to

love oneself is the

foundation of the

love of other people.

Love is a practice.

Love is truly a practice.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

.

If you have to practice,

why not practice on yourself first

because that way you cannot hurt someone else.

Balance, too much self love is an illness

that has more than a few names

and self-loathing is not in keeping with God’s will.

Today, seek to do the will of your loving Higher Power,

practice, practice and practice more love

until you get it right.

Love is truly a practice.

Love is helping someone love themselves.

Letting Go

“Letting go

gives us freedom

and freedom is

the only condition

for happiness.”

.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

.

.

It’s not yours anyhow.

All things belong to the Great Creator

and we are but stewards who have been made

responsible for sharing the love.

Let go of those things which are not love;

evil thoughts, resentments, expectations,

and those plots and schemes that will harm

any of God’s creatures.

Today, be free; no guilt, no shame,

just happy thoughts and deeds which

will make this world a better place for all.

Happiness is letting go.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
