Take five minutes out of your busy day. Turn off your phone, TV, computer, or any other devices that may distract you. Sit quietly in a peaceful spot, feeling your breath as you inhale and then release in a full exhale. Now, place your right middle finger and pointer finger on your left wrist.

Allow yourself to be with this beat,your life force. While still feeling life's rhythm, contemplate.This life force is what ties us together; it is the same for every being, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, educational or socio-economic background

Now, focus your attention on the good people of this country and the world....send your compassion and hold them with loving kindness in your hearts. Let all people across the globe know that you feel and are one with the pulse of our shared Humanity.

There is a life-force within your soul,
seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of
your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of that
Don't look outside, look inside yourself
and seek that.

~ Rumi ~

It is important that when pursuing self-interest we should be wise selfish and not foolish selfish. Foolish selfish = pursuing our own interest in a narrow,shortsighted way. Wise selfish = taking a broader view,recognizing our long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone.Dalai Lama

Sad but true reality for us.

It’s time for us to start being kind to the people who can’t do anything to improve our lives

situational kindness isn’t
actually kindness

it’s just the way narcissists
do business

kindness isn’t transactional
~ it’s meant to be transformative ....
