Be a source of love

“We must first have the desire and then the intention and commitment to be a source of love- this means that rather than waiting for the world to be more loving, we decide that we will be the first one to reach out and act loving- on matter what!”- Richard Carlson

Seek out the comfort and help you need

“Healing from a loss is a natural process of life- just as healing from a broken bone is too. Knowing this in the midst of pain is of great comfort. If it’s at all possible, don’t be alone. Seek out the comfort and help you need and deserve. This is not the time to be brave or strong. Instead it’s the time to reach out to others and be open to receive their kindness.”

Learn not to worry about little things

“Often we allow ourselves to get all worked up about things that, upon closer examination, aren’t really that big a deal. We focus on little problems and blow them out of proportion. … It pays enormous dividends if we learn not to worry about little things.”- Richard Carlson

Beauty of life

“So many people spend so much of their life energy ‘sweating the small stuff’ that they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty of life.”- Richard Carlson

The longing itself becomes an additional source of suffering

Our way through life should not be difficult- but it is. The fact is that our lives are filled mostly with picking and choosing. ‘I want this, not that.’ And because things are not anything other than the way they really, we suffer. … We so desperately want things to be the way they were. But they are not. So the longing itself becomes an additional source of suffering.”- Richard Carlson
