Keys to Happiness

The more compassion and love we have for ourselves, the greater the capacity we have to give compassion and love to others. By accepting ourselves, we open the floodgates to greater happiness.

Self-Love is the least selfish thing we can do. For when we free ourselves, we free others from our judgment. We also set free from judgment those who remind us of our own short-comings. In so doing, we gift to others the permission to love themselves, and thus the keys to their own contentment.

Forgive yourself. If you could have done better, you would have. Perhaps you were unable to do better because you lacked the resources at that time. Hindsight is 20/20…

Allow Grace into your heart. This will help you to avoid repeating the same errors in judgment. Grace also means you recognize your own humanity. (To err is human, afterall).

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. -Mahatma Gandhi

It’s easy to love the parts of us that shine. The challenge can be in loving all of our parts, as together, each part makes us whole.

So forgiveness and grace release judgment, allowing us to open our hearts to ourselves. Loving oneself, completely, brings happiness.

Namaste.

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there. ~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C. View more posts
