“Make it a habit to tell people, ‘thank you.’ To express your appreciation sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.”
"It is all and ever in motion. New wonders never stop coming into existence as others draw to a close. How do you focus enough to be immersed in the flow without being distracted by your effort to focus? It is with love for where you are and what you’re doing. Let yourself love the moment, the details, the process, the situation. You have plenty of love to give, so allow it to pour into all that surrounds you and occupies you. Discover that there is no need of going to great lengths in seeking to do what you love. Because you can always choose to love what you’re doing. Abandon assumptions that anything is too tedious, too complicated, too inconvenient, too this or too that. Just see that you can transform it into an experience of love. Open yourself to the miraculous now in which you always exist. Love what is, as it enters your awareness, and flow along with it to wondrous realms."
