When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds. But that’s not true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens. Humans can do remarkable things because they are remarkable. Try reaching down inside of yourself; you’ll come up with some of those remarkable human gifts. They’re there, waiting to be discovered and employed. So what can I do, starting today, that will make a difference? You can’t change what's happened; nor control others' behaviour. But you certainly can change your responses to them.

Everyone you meet is fighting some battle or the other. Be kinder than you feel is necessary. This truth hits me again and again, as I encounter individuals struggling with problems much bigger than mine. Am I being sensitive enough, kind enough? Or am I too engrossed in myself? |
