A flower is beauty itself. You see that it is a lovely colour, that it emanates sweet scent and that it is soft to the touch. It influences you to be gentle.
Surround yourself with flowers and watch the result.
Flowers are vibratory and give off radiations of a positive kind

Never let a day pass without looking for the good, feeling the good within you, praising, appreciating, blessing and being grateful. Make it your life commitment and you will stand in utter awe of what happens in your life

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

You cannot redeem yourself by fruitless regret. If you have brought harm to some part of the creation, you can help to set things right by giving a greater amount of good or helpful action to that part of the creation so harmed

Everything is energy, and let me help you to understand that just a little bit. There's the Universe, our galaxy, our planet, and then individuals, and then inside of this body are organ systems, then cells, then molecules and then atoms.... So there are a lot of levels to think about, but everything in the Universe is energy

When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed or interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look you will find death as well as life.
Upon closer scrutiny however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life but are full of life themselves. Micro-organisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn't to be found anywhere, only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
- Eckhart Tolle
Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.

When I come to your world I am like a bird that is imprisoned within a cage and when I leave it, I am like a bird joyfully released to wing its way through boundless space.
What you call death is the opening of the cage and the release of the bird from its prison

When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says 'Yes, this is how I ought to feel'

Perceive the wonderful:
The other day, walking along Westminster Embankment, I picked up a little stone or pebble, that had perhaps fallen from some lorry carrying a load of gravel. It was so smooth and beautiful with its strange markings that I slipped it into my pocket. I have carried it about ever since, bringing it out at odd moments to look at it and meditate upon its mystery

I read, and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful to step out of the darkness and change my life.
It never crossed my mind that that person could be me
