THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is. ~ ALBERT EINSTEIN

In her book,`Th`e Invisible Acts Of Power; the Divine Energy of a giving heart by Caroline Myss writes that, " by caring for` others and going that extra mile for family, friends, co-workers and strangers could have a connection to our physical health.

Now I believe that the human spirit needs to develop generosity and compassion to be healthy. Exercising empathy and compassion and performing good deeds makes our body and spirit thrive. You cannot increase in self-understanding and well-being and simultaneously remain isolated from humanity. You cannot strive for a healthier, more spiritual life if you keep yourself separate and apart from life around you. The journey of the "self" also involves the journey of the "other."

A 121 year old lady recently shared that helping others is what gave her a long life. Being compassionate and interested in life and in others is what gives you the ability to help others.
