Thought of the Day - Life Sentence

Thought of the Day - Life Sentence

Few things in this world ever seem to come to an end. Our stories, our dramas, our processes just trundle on relentlessly. There are some who say that to take up residence in a human body is to be given a life sentence. If so, it is a sentence with many commas and no full stops. Why, even the end itself is not really the end! So, are we now heading for a 'happy-ever-after'? No! Just a 'happy-for-the-time- being'. But time being what it is, that could last a surprisingly long while.

Thought Of The Day - Pressure

If we're under pressure to make a choice we don't want to make, or someone is prodding us to take sides when we don't feel comfortable doing so, then we need to emotionally distance ourselves from the situation. We do like to please others. So as simple as this sounds, it's not easy for us. We're very compassionate and empathic people, but we have to face the fact that we can't make everyone happy. As soon as we accept this fact, it may be easier for us to follow our own heart when it comes to making that choice or deciding not to take sides. We just need to be kind, fair, honest to ourselves, and we'll be fine.
