“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”
Carl Jung
What a word

With a simple word
Life hardened
World angered
Reality reformed
Yet, with another simple word
Life softened
World calmed
Reality renewed
Oh what a word

With the current state of economy and all the layoffs, it would be nice to hear from the successful self-starters who do what they love. So what do THEY do and what’s their secret?

Layoffs and Empathy

Did I miss a memo or have people forgotten what empathy is? Or maybe everyone is so self-centered to just not want to concern themselves with anything that doesn’t affect them personally?
Sure empathy may not have any monetary benefits but it has alot of emotional benefits! So next time someone spills their heart out, please please do a great favor and Listen deeply and empathize, instead of throw up Dr. Phil crap everytime.

Be kind and merciful to humanity

Be kind and merciful to humanity, for all are His creatures; do not oppress them with your tongue, or hands, or in any other way. Always work for the good of mankind. Never unduly assert yourselves with pride over others, even those who are placed under you.
Never use abusive language for anyone, even though he abuses you. Be humble in spirit, kind and gentle, and forgiving, sympathetic towards all and wishing them well, so that you should be accepted. There are many who pretend to be kind, gentle and forgiving, but inside they are wolves; there are many on the outside who look pure, but in their hearts they are serpents.
You cannot be accepted in the presence of the Lord unless you are pure, both on the outside and inside. (Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad – The Promised Messiah. ‘Kashti Nuh’)
Gratitude

I downloaded a simple iPhone application called Gratitude over a week ago. It gives you a personal journal to encourage you to list daily 5 things that you are thankful for, rate your day (1 to 5) and post a picture for the day. Yet it does so much more.
At first it was out of the ordinary for me and I had to think a bit harder to list five new things. Soon after, I started going through the days and noticing so much more than before.
I am committed to mark the days as 5. I realize to mark it less than that would be a sign of ungratefullness for every blessing to God. I also believe that bad moments rarely outweigh the good moments in a day. If we were to list the bad and good moments/blessings in a day and give them all one point each, the good will win the race.
To live another day is a blessing. To have the opportunity to see and spend time with loved ones is a blessing. To see them laugh and see another day is a blessing. To even chat with wonderful friends for a few minutes is a blessing.
To work, play, laugh, and even cry are signs of blessings. For to cry for something, must mean the sorrow of missing a blessing.
I truly recommend the practice of a gratitude journal (in any format) to anyone. In all its simplicity, it’s a wonderful practice for us all to find or achieve a higher level of inner peace.
