"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
~ Albert Schweitzer
Do you love what you are doing?
If so, great!
If not, what might you do to bring more love into your work, rest, play, relationships, home... all that you do? Let wisdom show you ways.
Right now, as best you can, stir up some inner joy. Smile and send love forward into this day and the week ahead. See what happens.
With joy,
Charlene
PS - In yesterday's quote, I believe that the author's focus is on respect for ideas and gratitude to the One Source that gifts us with ideas. I so agree with her that we must be thankful for them and honor them, with love and true
humility. I don't think she means "the gods" literally. Just want to clarify this because I heard from a subscriber who questioned this.
"Ideas are gifts from the gods. When we receive one we have to bow to them and offer thanks. Humbly. And believe in them."
~ Mary Alice Monroe
We are all gifted, at times, with wondrous ideas. You know, the kind that lifts your heart and stirs your soul. For all those
ideas, may we give thanks and feed them with faith, especially if doubt has clouded the vision.
Make this a day for enlivening ideas and renewing dreams!
