"We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality."
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Fear is at the bottom of so many of our ills and issues.
Mindful of this, let's be sure to avoid feeding fear with dreadful imaginings and listening to the fear mongers.
Let's instead brighten our imaginings with hopeful expectations and visions of good things unfolding.
While we are lifting our minds, let's lift our hearts too.
Consider taking to heart this quote from George Sand:
“Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.”
Day by day may we stretch
and grow into more positive, more hope-filled and more compassionate beings.
In so doing, we shall become, as Haile Selassie says we must, "bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook."
In so doing, we shall become more loving, reverent, peaceful, healthy, and happy too, I
say.
Holding hope,
Charlene
