As I mentioned last week, life is already hard enough.
Why make it harder than it needs to be for yourself, others and even your companion animals.
While our own suffering in the wake of becoming more aware of what is important to us doesn’t need to be compounded any additional pain.
Other’s pain doesn’t need to become our pain and this is also the same for our dogs.
When you are ravaged by your thoughts and feeling pangs of resentments and in the midst of judging others and even yourself, please know these thoughts and beliefs are not you.
They are the conditioning that created how you perceive yourself, but they aren’t you.
When you lift this veil of how you perceive yourself and yourself in the world, you can end your suffering.
The veil is only perceived and created in your mind.
This keeps you from living with kindness and love.
Making the choice to live from your heart is totally within your control.
Find it in your heart to be compassionate to yourself, others and your companion animals.
