Self-importance hurts us, limiting our world to likes and dislikes.  We can question our beliefs, either we accept our fixed version of reality, or we begin to challenge it.  Practicing staying open, curious, and challenging our beliefs is the best use of our lives.

We take up many activities to make ourselves happy, but to awaken we must receive a spark from someone to ignite us.  Once you find your passion, whatever it may be, pass on that spark to others.  There are many people who seek guidance and if you can give it, you must do so.

When we think we know the answers, we are difficult to guide.  When we realize we don’t know, it becomes easy to find our way.  By keeping your mind open, you become aware of numerous possibilities.  The ancients taught of the supreme value of “Don’t-know Mind”.

When leading people be open to all.  “See” them as they really are without judgement, and regarding who they are individually, with their talents and limitations. When leading also be aware of what is generally needed at that moment and how that can be done. 

Quote: Compassion is both a force in the universe as well as a human experience.
