“All we are is a result of all we have thought.” -Buddha
Since you see the world from your own personal perspective, it’s unlikely that you perceive the whole picture. You can’t possibly know the ultimate meaning of any situation. If your response involves blame, shame and judgment, your experience will be quite different than if it’s one of acceptance, compassion and love. Embracing a humility that acknowledges your ignorance about the ultimate meaning of things along with a faith in the underlying beneficence of the world not only puts you at peace,
It’s wisdom in action.

A very nice gratitude, quietly and plainly expressed. I am on the road to Acceptance and I can see it off in the dusty distance, but I have many more hopeful, patient steps to take.
How it helps to be able to see it! For so long I’ve not known what I wanted, and finally I have some clear inspiration. I take great comfort from noticing that “inspiration” comes for the Latin for “breathing”. Yup.
Mighty funny how some of us wait for old age to start waking up!
