Against the Wind

The image below was shared on facebook by my cousin today and I love it! :)

Don't fill your hole with religion, stuff or people... Run! Run against the wind!! :)

Having a rough week,

♥

It's no secret that I ♥ Paulo Coelho. ;) The inspirational word the comes through this man are awesome. He echos wisdom from eons ago (very similar to my big crush Kahlil Gibran ♥). Mr. Coelho writes obvious Truths so brilliantly it produces goosebumps, it's an Aha!- and But-Of-Course-moment all in one. :)

With that said I obviously ;) follow his blog, twitter and facebook and this morning I read last night's status update,

Love is joy.
Don't convince yourself that suffering is part of it.

!!! :D :D :D What did I just tell you?! :D Smiiiile of recognition at the notion of an obvious Truth. Beauty.

Love&Light,

Golden Rule Day

What have you been up to today? :) I've not been up to much. Only been interacting with the family and unfortunately not really showing of the most compassionate side of myself. :/ The little people, especially little miss is trowing herself head first into the most awesome power struggles with me/us/any grown up at the moment and she just. doesn't. give. in! 'Unfortunately' she gets the stubborn streak from both her mum and dad and it isn't easy peasy for her either, 'cause she soooo badly wants to get her way, with everything. She needs compassion, I know this! I've done the theory and passed :D but theory and practise isn't so 'easy' when it comes to ones own offspring. *blushes* It's a struggle when she pushes aaaall my buttons at once and nothing I try to do for her is good enough... *breathe!* Let's say it's a work in progress, ok? ;p

I have been torturing (?) my facebook pals with Golden Rule-quotes all day and perhaps/maybe/hopefully brought compassion into light for some...? :)

Hope you have a day full of compassion,
♥
