Topic: Seeing The Good In All
“The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.”
– Dalai Lama
Life is Good. We are all Good. There is Good in all things because all things have Life running through them and Life is Good.
Take time to remember the Good in your life. Look around at what you have; your family and friends, your home and school and all the little bits and pieces that make you who you are. It is all Good.
“Every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of a tree.”
– Alan W. Watts

“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.”
– Mr Rogers
