I am responsible for what I see. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. I could see peace instead of THIS. The past is over - it can touch me not. This instant is the only time there is. Today I will judge nothing that occurs. I am not the victim of the world I see. I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. I am determined to see things differently. I am never upset for the reason I think. Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
"To have integrity one must be consistently honest and trustworthy in everything one does...When you have integrity, people know you will do what you know is right...Its knowing what you have to do without someone telling you to do it. It is the core of a person's-and a company's- reputation."
what is my purpose in life, what is my responsibility? whether I like it or not, I am on this planet and it is far better to do something for humanity.
so you see that compassion is the seed or basis.
If we take care to foster compassion, we will see that it brings the other good human qualities.
the topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is very important to know that it is human business that it is a question of human survival that is not a question of human luxury....
It is clear that even without religion we can manage.
However, without these basic human qualities we cannot survive. It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
My father always would say, "My daughter will go into politics? My daughter will become prime minister", but it's not what I wanted to do. I would say, "No, Papa, I will never go into politics." As I've said before, this is not the life I chose; it chose me ... But I accepted the responsibility and I've never wavered in my commitment.
