One should not give up, neglect, or forget for a moment his inner life, but he must learn to work in it, with it, and out of it, so that the unity of his soul may break out in all his activities. --Meister Eckhart
All people, have goodness in their hearts and greatness in their souls. --Shelley
The more I let go of my own suffering and self-pity, I can see those around me with the eyes of love and compassion. I am becoming more aware of other people's pain and unhappiness today and I will reach out to them in loving ways that heal me while helping them to heal. --Ruth Fishel
Today I am living in the moment, instead of living for a moment.

Oh how many times was my joy deferred living "for" a moment and not just cruising along, finding joy NOW??? many times.....I am practicing now to live for JUST RIGHT NOW!!!! savoring the moment....its hard, not to look back....project....but if I practice, to live IN the moment rathr than FOR a moment, I cannot be afraid or grieving over the past, or fearing the future............

Thank you Rose, for sharing all these great Tidbits!
The one about the barber shop had me laughing out loud for some reason! I thought it so good, I passed it along to my son, b/c I have been trying to advise him about "situational errors," you know, being at the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing!
As for me, I tend to project, so again, this is good for me!

Hey, Rose, thanks for sharing. I too love the one about the barber shop. That rings a bell regarding my "tactics", the way I sometimes passively try to attract something by hanging around certain places/people, and then I can deny it was my intent because I feel admitting my true motive would be embarrassing. I don't think I do that anymore, or I mostly don't. The topic of denial is on my mind lately, actually...
