See the image of God in all men By Paramahansa Yogananda

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others’ shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

Sometimes it is necessary to analyze other people; in that case the important thing to remember is to keep the mind unprejudiced. An unbiased mind is like a clear mirror, held steady, not oscillating with hasty judgments. Any person reflected within that mirror will present an undistorted image.

Learn to see God in all persons, of whatever race or creed. 


You will know what divine love is when you begin to feel your oneness with every human being, not before. In mutual service we forget the little self, and glimpse the one measureless Self, the Spirit that unifies all men.

Excellent piece James …..Everyone was given a beautiful ability in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care. Love does not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions~

Prayer for Love - An Excerpt from Don Miguel Ruiz's book entitled - The Four Agreements

This is an excerpt of an extremely inspiring and motivational piece of masterfully written literature. One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever read. Far too beautiful to keep to myself. My gift to you: We are going to share a beautiful dream together- a dream that you will love to have all of the time. In this dream you are in the middle of a beautiful, warm sunny day. You hear the birds, the wind, and a little river. You walk toward the river. At the edge of the river is an old man in meditation and you see that out of his head comes a beautiful light of different colors. You try not to bother him, but he notices your presence and opens his eyes. He has the kind of eyes that are full of love and a big smile. You ask him how he is able to radiate all of that beautiful light. You ask him if he can teach you to do what he is doing. He replies that many, many years ago he asked the same question of his teacher. The old man begins to tell you his story: “My teacher opene...

Bondage is - subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes  W. Clement Stone The ties that bind. I never really gave much thought to that statement as a youngster. However; as I am now an adult and have matured somewhat, I truly understand the importance of establishing and maintaining enlightening, healthy, positive, supportive and uplifting relationships – albeit formal or informal. I personally have had people come and go through my life like commuters through Grand Central Terminal. Some of them leaving an imprint on my life that will last a lifetime while others have barely registered a blip on my emotional radar. All of them nonetheless helping to mold me into the man I am destined to become. However, I’m still a work in progress. We all are. In some shape, form or fashion we all are incomplete to a certain extent. I think that’s the way the Creator intended it. To stave off complacency. To keep us hungry and ever evolvin...

My Other Love Letter ©

A relationship is placing one’s heart and soul in the hands of another while taking charge of another in one’s soul and heart  Kahlil Gibran "I love you. I love you for all you are to me. I love you because of who you are, and what you represent. I know that people use the word love so loosely these days. Sometimes with little to no meaning behind it …… just Lip Service. However, I assure you that when I say I love you, I mean it. I never thought that I would ever find this kind of love. I didn’t think that this kind of love even existed. The very thought of you makes me smile. The sound of your voice makes my heart skip a beat. When I see you it’s like the first time every time. I love the way you treat me…. like royalty. I know that there have been those that have come along and told you that they love you but treated you so horribly. I believe that it is because they didn’t have a clue as to what exactly they had in you. They did not know your value. They were so...
