1. I really love the Dalai Lama.
”This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. ”
~ Dalai Lama
2.I really love the Paradoxical Commandments:
“The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.”
~Kent Keith
3.We should totally do this. Totally.
4.This is also a good plan.
5.This is a short list of
the qualities that the kind of
person I want to be has.

I need to work on #4. Less reacting, more showing kindness regardless. Yep.

I’m in love with the thought of practicing senseless beauty. And random acts of kindness, well, absolutely!
This post reallu uplifted me, Brook. Thanks!

I love the lighthouse quote the most. People do so often need to be taught or reminded how to be kind!
Jun 18, 2011 @ 07:40:05
Yeah, it’s not a kindly world sometimes. Though I am often surprised 🙂

Oh yeah, we always have to be willing to be kind in order for others to return the favor. Great post!

Fantastic!! 2 and 4 are tough ones because we are so easily motivated by others instead of recognizing that doing good, even when unrecognized, is what makes us feel better.

It is tricky 🙂 thanks.
