So too in life, it is important to stay focused on why we are here.  For this, one needs to define our life’s purpose. The emphasis on the purpose is not a doing verb, even if it may be defined as one, but the living quality behind the verb.  For example, we are here to love, care, share, stare, dare, to dream and beam!  We are here to experience the fullness of our being. Once we are clear on our focus, we can then divert all our energies toward that.  That is concentration!

We greatly underestimate the power of our virtues.  In fact virtues are a form of spiritual wealth that we often neglect and fail to nurture.  When we do not invest in our own ‘self’, then we find that our inner powers of the soul become depleted.  Once we are depleted then we find it a struggle to face the challenges of life with all those twists and turns that present themselves to us. 

If you really want to make something of the day without feeling like a loser, why not see Valentine’s Day as a DAY TO LOVE ALL!  Instead of waiting for that heart, chocolates or champagne to arrive.  Why not be the one to send out your heartfelt good wishes to all souls?  Why not share your love with the whole world without any expectations?

The point is as I observe the world around me, I can sense that mine is not the only way.  I need to be able to understand the other, their traditions and ways of being.  Try having an eye for discovery, with newness and not judgment.  If I decide that something is ‘wrong’ then it always will be wrong – but in my eyes only!  And then I will never even try to understand.  Then recognition, realization and harmony will always be out of my reach.
