I 100% agree. All humans, as far as I can tell, believe they can't be kind, or gentle, or complimentary if they don't FEEL that way. Two very solid axioms I use a lot are: "Feelings aren't facts"- that's a biggie! A very interesting one is: "Never judge your insides by someone elses's outsides". We, all to often wish we could be like some else when, in fact,if we really knew how life is for them we may find ourselves in gratitude for who we actually are. A very poignant example of this is the story of the Scott brothers-Tony and Ridley. They formed a movie production company many years ago called "Scott Free". They both did well individually but Ridley really excelled. E.G: "Blackhawk Down" and many other succesful TV and Films. Tony, on the other hand did OK. Everytime you saw a picture of him, he was smiling, typically smoking a cigar and, certainly, materially wealthy. So, if I looked at Tony-I may think I'd like to be him. Around 5 years ago he threw himself off the San Francisco bridge!! I could cite many similar stories but it proves the point. Be grateful for who YOU are. XO

I am not sure why this keeps happening but the last meditation I received before this was 425. Please respond.
