“Happiness is a choice, not a condition. I can choose to be happy, or I can choose otherwise. Truly, what choice is there to make, but that of happiness, when I know that happiness is God’s choice for me. If I am to wallow, than me wallow in joy and the knowledge that Heaven is here, now.” – Pamela J. Leavey

I ran across this quote the other day and found there was so much to ponder…
Compassion and emptiness are two sides of the same coin. Don’t relax your grip on compassion, and don’t let emptiness become nihilistic nothingness. To cultivate these two in union is very important. — Rinchen Tashi of Gyalzang
Life is always such a balancing act.

“Acceptance, tolerance and understanding are pivotal to any and all relationships. Today, I will practice these three skills towards everyone whom I meet and come in contact with. Today, I will acknowledge that it is not my job to fix or change anyone. Today, I will acknowledge that everyone is perfect, just the way they are.” ~ Pamela J. Leavey

When we give our heart to someone, we never expect it to get trounced on.
Marianne Williamson says in A Return To Love:
“Love is a participatory emotion.”
It takes two people to participate however… and if one isn’t showing up in that relationship… Well, it wasn’t love to begin with, was it?
