You can’t be sad enough to make a sad person happy. You can’t be sick enough to make a sick person well. You can’t be lost enough to help a lost person find their way. Kindness does not require you to share in their sadness, their sickness or their confusion. Kindness requires you to stand…
Create space for contemplation. Consider the fact that winter was a time of rest for your ancestors. Modern life, with all its conveniences, has flattened the seasons, making them uniform. Each season offers its own richness. The gift of winter is rest and contemplation. Yielding to this inner calling to rest, you will have the…
Open and allow the Universe to act on your behalf. To do this, you need to let go of your agenda. Let go of your need to control the outcome. Let go of your desire to map out a strategy, develop a plan or set expectations for how your future will unfold. Stop trying to…

Free your heart from anger. Release any feelings of resentment or blame. They have no place in your heart. When your heart is filled with kindness, there is literally no room for anger. Forgiveness creates space for kindness. Like cleaning out a cluttered spare bedroom, the space created by kindness allows fresh air to enter…
Love each other well. Forgive easily. Care deeply, knowing you are deeply cared for. You have no greater purpose on this earth than to love the one in front of you. Cherish your partner. Are you feeling lonely, isolated, or distanced from your partner? That feeling is what you experience when you are distanced from…
