“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”
Dale Carnegie
Good morning peeps, meditation done.

Are you guilty of thinking that everything would be better in your life, if you had something else, more money, a new job, a new car, a new house?
If we are given these things we may be happy, for a little while, but the things that are wrong in our life would still be the same and we will not be happy for long.
Instead it is better to be grateful for what we have, instead of wishing for what we do not have.
The true spirit of Christmas is to show gratitude for the kindness and sacrifices other people have shown and made for us.
All living beings deserve to be cherished because of the tremendous kindness they have shown us. All our temporary and ultimate happiness arises through their kindness.
Your body is the result of the kindness of others. You were developed from the union of your father’s sperm and your mother’s ovum. Once you had been conceived, your mother kindly allowed you to stay in her womb, nourishing your body with her blood and warmth, putting up with great discomfort, and finally going through the painful ordeal of childbirth for our sake.
You came into this world naked and empty-handed and were immediately given a home, food, clothes, and everything else you needed. While you were a helpless baby your mother protected you from danger, fed you, cleaned you, and loved you. Without her kindness you would not be alive today.
The mere fact that you are alive today is a testimony to the great kindness of others.
Through receiving a constant supply of food, drink, and care, your body gradually grew from that of a tiny helpless baby to the body you have now.
All this nourishment was directly or indirectly provided by countless living beings. Every cell of your body is therefore the result of others’ kindness. Even those who have never known their mother have received nourishment and loving care from other people.
The mere fact that you are alive today is a testimony to the great kindness of others.
Your skills and abilities all come from the kindness of others; you had to be taught how to eat, how to walk, how to talk, and how to read and write. Even the language you speak is not your own invention but the product of many generations. Without it you could not communicate with others.
All the facilities we all take for granted, such as houses, cars, roads, shops, schools, hospitals, and cinemas, are produced solely through others’ kindness. When we travel by bus or car we take the roads for granted, but many people worked very hard to build them and make them safe for us to use.
Everyone who contributes in any way towards our happiness and well-being is deserving of our gratitude.
If we had to give back everything that others have given us, we would have nothing left at all.
So let us show gratitude for what we have and everyone who has helped us along the way.
We cannot exist without others, and they in turn are affected by everything we do. So let us show gratitude and kindness to everyone we come into contact with and also to all the people who are no longer with us, but helped us become who we are today.
Showing kindness and gratitude to others is the only way forward to true happiness and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.
Why not start today by showing love, kindness and gratitude to everyone involved in your life.
