EQUALITY

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind. A roof for the rain. A warm cup of tea by the fire. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all that your heart might desire. #<Author:0x00007faaba86d280>

CHEER

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. #<Author:0x00007faaba8b5468>

SERVICE

Always reward your long hours of labor surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success. #<Author:0x00007faaba89f758>

FAMILY

PASSION

There is only one happiness in life. To love and be loved. #<Author:0x00007faaba8ce918>

LOVE

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. #<Author:0x00007faaba8bc998>

MINDFULNESS

Promise yourself to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. #<Author:0x00007faaba9054b8>

ENCOURAGEMENT

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. #<Author:0x00007faaba8efc80>

SHARING

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. #<Author:0x00007faaba936888>

LEARNING

Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves and then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy. #<Author:0x00007faaba925010>

COMPASSION

All things are bound together. All things connect. Whatever happens to the Earth happens to the children of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. #<Author:0x00007faaba96f228>

UNITY

Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. #<Author:0x00007faaba95d8e8>

LIVE YOUR DREAMS

To strengthen the muscles of your heart, the best exercise is lifting someone else's spirit whenever you can. #<Author:0x00007faaba9afe40>
