When I keep the vision of blue skies and sunshine in my heart and mind, I find a space for happiness no matter what is happening around me. I re-mind myself today and every day that happiness is a choice. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“To Be Empowered – I am willing to see that I have something awesome to offer to the world. I am willing to make happiness my choice and share my happiness with those around me.” ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“Today, I will practice the “I Am Awesome” principle. Each time I am asked how I am, I will reply, “I Am Awesome“. With each reply, I will feel the contagion of being Awesome grow with in, and I will share with others the principle of “I Am Awesome“. Awesome is a state of mind, it is a choice, like happiness. Why would I choose anything but that which makes me feel good. If I choose to be Awesome, then so it is.” – Pamela J. Leavey

I am blessed with the knowledge each day that happiness is my choice. I look around me and see joy in so many things and so many aspects of my life. Life is good… And I am blessed. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

Compassion is vital in our day to day existence…
The human capacity to care for others isn’t something trivial or something to be taken for granted. Rather, it is something we should cherish. Compassion is a marvel of human nature, a precious inner resource, and the foundation of our well-being and the harmony of our societies. If we seek happiness for ourselves, we should practice compassion: and if we seek happiness for others, we should also practice compassion. ~~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama
When we ourselves our struggling we must remember that we are still capable of having compassion for others. It is in that compassion that we lift ourselves up and we lift up those to whom we give our compassion.

Via His Holiness The Dalai Lama on Facebook…
“There is a saying in Tibetan that “at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar.” The point of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue, but that happiness does not come from wealth, but from setting limits to one’s desires, and living within those limits with satisfaction.”
So true…
