Tending the Garden … ( 05 / 04 / 2012 )
We are not here to “ help ” others with our “ constructive criticism ” ( there is no such thing ). Rather , we are here to look for those who are down & out – to look for those who feel sad or defeated or broken -- and build them up again …
We are not here to find what is “ broken ” in others and try to “ fix it ” ( even if we could find it , we can ’ t repair anyone but ourselves ). Rather , we are here to look for the Good in others and emphasize it — compliment it — announce to the world that we , at least , SEE the beautiful being who is before us .
We are not here to tell other people how they are to live or behave or believe ( all literally none of our business ). Rather , we are here to unconditionally & jubilantly support them by cheering them onward — regardless of the lifestyle & the beliefs & the Life Mission that they have chosen to live or believe or follow .
Simply put , everyone you meet is a genius in one way or another . There is something truly important that you can learn from every person on this planet ( If you look for it , you will find it ). Even more importantly , there is also a Great Good in everyone you meet — a Great Good that you can help to blossom if you but have the humility to See it , and the courage to call it forth with an act of radically enthusiastic Kindness .
For plants to grow , their seeds must be watered , and for their flowers to bloom fully , those plants must be tended with Care .
Your LOVE is the pure sustenance of every friend , stranger & enemy you meet … Your LOVE is what reawakens them to who they truly are … Your LOVE is their water , your Compassion is their soil and your Kindness their sunlight .
Indeed , your life is your Garden , and you are your Universe ’ s greatest Gardener … So have fun tending that Garden today , my Friends .
