There is a goodness inside us. Sometimes we nurture this and help it grow, sometimes we poison our goodness with thoughts of what we lack. By blaming anyone but ourselves for our happiness, by allowing ourselves to have "only if" thoughts, or by asking of the Universe that which we are not willing to do for others, we create imbalance in our lives.Your peace is none of my business. What brings you joy cannot be my concern. It is not for me to determine the fairness of the way the Divine has treated you. What I can offer you is this.

Smile at times that find others frowning. Enjoy the ability to see the present moment both for what it is, and also for what joy it might help to bring. But above anything else, give thanks.
