WORD FOR THE DAY(gratefulness.org)
Wednesday, Mar. 3
Sometimes I go about pitying myself,
and all the time I am being carried on
great winds across the sky.
Chippewa, translated by Robert Bly
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
