Rain
As rain falls on the just and unjust alike, let your heart be untroubled by judgments and let your kindness rain on all. - The Buddha

unkind mind
Don't let your unkind mind tell you that you are supposed to be better than you are.- Stephen Levine
Lately i have been trying to keep tabs on when I am unkind to myself, I was surprised at how often I would berate myself for nothing. The even sadder part is i have become so used to this type of behaviour toward myself that its started to go un-noticed and has almost become an accepted norm. Sad huh! I remind myself "I would never say this to anyone else, so how come its ok to say it to me!".

The mantra
On stressful, busy, or unpleasant days.. .this is a good mantra to repeat.
"Be kind, be at peace"
I use these words to comfort myself, and gently remind myself that nothing in this world is more important than kindness and peace for myself, and expressed to those around me. In my experience, it makes most discomforting and unpleasant emotions, trivialized.
Enjoy!

Having FUN, letting it all go....
Today's inspiration is a comment as well.
Talking to good friends always inspires me, I learn something new and differnt each time. Sometimes I learn something over again, something that I had forgotten over time. For example, I recently realized "what it's all about", and again you may have differing opinions, and that ok.
I realized that in life there are 3 things that are #1, these are "Having FUN", "Genuinely LOVING" and "Being KIND at all times". So easily said, yet hard to achieve, it seems like instead of living in the world, we let the world live within us.
Is it possible to have fun, be loving and kind at all times? I am not sure, but I know that its my choice to find out! :-)

Kindness
"I expect to pass through this life but once. Therefore, if there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do for another human being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again." -William Penn
