Difficulties...

"Difficulties are like the ornament of a good practitioner. Dharma is not practiced perfectly amongst pleasant circumstances."

His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The Greatest Gift...

"The greatest gift that you could ever give to another is your own happiness, for when you are in a state of joy, happiness, or appreciation, you are fully connected to the Stream of pure, positive Source Energy that is truly who you are. And when you are in that state of connection, anything or anyone that you are holding as your object of attention benefits from your attention."

Abraham via Esther (& Jerry) Hicks
