Let me ask you a question. Are you satisfied with the United States being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave?
I don’t like formality. There’s no formality when we’re born and none when we die. In between we should treat each other as brothers and sisters because we all want to live a happy life. This is our common purpose and our right.
What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.
Negative emotions like attachment and anger are part of our lives, but there are antidotes to them. We need to reflect not only on the damage anger and fear can do, but also on the benefits to be found in cultivating compassion and non-violence and find a balance between them.
We all have a responsibility to educate our human brothers and sisters. Inner values are the ultimate source of happiness, not money and weapons, whether you’re talking about individuals or the whole of humanity.
"Once you come to terms with your shortcomings and not chase a mirage of an imaginable perfect #person you’ll be able to do more #justice with your life. Learn to appreciate and #love yourself." - Latika Teotia #LifeLessons#life
Be open to the good in your life. Be mindful that "bad things" happen to good people, but they are not necessarily to break you but to make you more self-aware of things you need to change in order to be whole.
