WE MUST NOT FORGET TO SING IN THE LIFEBOATS

“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”

― Voltaire

BE PATIENT WITH PEOPLE

RIGHT AND WRONG

Right and Wrong

You and your partner are both right
in your desire to be loved and respected.
You are both wrong in your attempt
to blame the other person
for your unhappiness.

SERVING OTHERS

Serving Others

You cannot serve others
if you are attached to what you offer
or how others receive it.

You must get out of the way
so that Spirit can work through you.

Service is an opportunity to love,
not a job description.

You cannot serve if you have
an identity or an agenda.
That just blocks the flow of energy
as it moves through you.

You need to be an empty vessel
and let the energy come and go as it pleases.

When you help someone else,
your help goes where it is needed.
You will never know all the people
who are touched by your loving actions,
nor do you need to know.

LIVE TO LOVE

Live To Love

Love as though there is no other purpose. Live always aware that every life matters.

Encourage and support excellence but don’t demand perfection. Every person falls short of perfect, giving life endless paths for improvement.

Let joy flow from your own life as you encourage and support the unique lives of others. Find strength in the values you treasure, while understanding that every life journey is unique.

Offer kindness along with a meaningful challenge. Earn respect with your beneficial actions and let your respect be similarly earned and confirmed.

Be so strong in your convictions that you do not have to force them on others. Be so filled with confidence and love that fear has no place to take hold.

Life is within you and reaches far beyond you. Live to love and support it all.
