Individual Hearts 

“You will find meaning in life only if you create it.
It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes,
so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.
It is not there like a rock that you will find.
It is a poetry to be composed,
it is a song to be sung,
it is a dance to be danced.”
(Osho)

Sing your own song, dance your own dance, compose your own poem.
Every life is unique, everyone has a different reason for being.
Meanings are entertained and created in our individual hearts.

Practicing Patience

“I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.” (Paulo Coelho)

“Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.” (Brian Adams)

“One minute of patience, ten years of peace.” (Greek proverb)

Practicing patience, every day.  It is a skill, it is a blessing of the will.

The Right to Freedom

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err and even to sin.  If God Almighty has given the humblest of His Creatures the freedom to err, it passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of this precious right.” (The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi, Encyclopedia of Gandhi’s Thoughts.)
