Maybe you judge what you leave behind by what you inspire in other people.
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
All ups and downs help you to find a balance in your being. No more ups and downs, but bliss, joy, silence and gratitude.
Just as the soft rains fill the streams, pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans, so may the power of every moment of your goodness flow forth to awaken and heal all beings.
It’s impossible said pride. It’s risky said experience. It’s pointless said reason. Give it a try whispered the heart.
