WORD FOR THE DAY (gratefulness.org)
Thursday, Oct. 8
So far as past errors are concerned,
forget them and start afresh, as if it were your
first day in this body; but so far as your
present contacts are concerned, be kind to them,
as if it were your last day in this body.
Paul Brunton
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
