Sometimes you can enrich your life by harnessing your ambition into a very simple approach that can flavor anything you do in a wide variety of settings.
Lately I’ve taken some things off of my plate in order to focus more energy and consistency on one comprehensive action step: unleashing compassion and encouragement throughout the day, via a variety of forms.
It begins with myself, creating space to observe my thought processes and emotions in order to allow my own heart and mind to be at peace. From this place I can more effectively love and serve others, whether family, friends, colleagues or customers.
I would like to be a conduit through which grace flows: receiving it and then passing it on, and receiving it anew only to pass it on.
When I am lacking in compassion toward others, little else seems to matter. When I am filled with compassion for others, little else seems to matter.
I celebrate these days of simple clarity, and long for them to last.
