Be kind to yourself even as you expect the most from yourself. Extend that kindness to others, to those who deserve it and to those who don’t. For to extend kindness is to offer a simple gesture of human interest and that simple gesture may mean a world of difference to someone, just as it may mean a world of difference to you. Kindness has its own language and the way it is spoken is up to each individual. Speak the language of kindness today.

Sending you love,

Stay calm no matter what transpires. Remain steady, thoughtful and free of impulse by acting rationally yet from the heart when it is time to act. A steady mind and a calm heart will do more good than a rash emotional reaction. Train yourself every day to be as calm as you can be so that when the time comes your heart will hold you steady, your mind will have clarity and your actions will be right.

Sending you love,

It’s not that hard to be a loving being, to open your heart to giving and receiving, to being generous, compassionate and kind. It’s not that hard to practice loving others in a myriad of ways. Even when you are only giving and not receiving you are practicing the highest form of love, for what is true love if not a giving of yourself to another, to a cause, to a need in some way. Learn to love by being a giver. It is the highest form of selflessness and it is the most fulfilling action you can take.

Sending you love,

Rather than stoke fear, stoke your own power. Rather than stoke hatred, stoke love. Rather than stoke anger, stoke compassion. Rather than stoke disinterest, stoke kindness. If you want the world to change, first change yourself and how you react. If you change yourself and how you operate in the world, your small steps will take effect as you exercise your personal changes. Every little bit helps. Changing yourself will help you immeasurably and it will help the world incrementally as well. A little bit of positive attitude and energy go a long way.

Sending you love,

You are an individual but also part of a whole, separate and yet one with something greater that moves and changes as a collective energy. Some wish to ignore this fact, but it is an inevitable truth of life that you have a responsibility to the self as well as to the whole. Assert your responsibility conscientiously in everything you do, for all that you are affects the whole. Think, act and live with this in mind so that not only you prosper and grow but so that the whole does as well. This too is part of your Earth School training, to understand that everything you do effects everything around you.

Sending you love,
