“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
 
Mahatma Gandhi

John, Thanks for the post.

I like his opening statement:

""You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe, that is how important you are.""

For me it took a while to understand and realize this. Today, I know, my main purpose of my existence. That is to help another person suffering from alcoholism to recover from it.

Also from the same book ...

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear.

  • As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out of present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love ? even the most simpleaction.

"I find myself a rather curious creature, starving to find food in higher places while pecking away at the stale seeds of my past."

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

Leo Buscaglia

All is love.
