Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
Albert Schweitzer
The Philosopher’s Corner
Do onto others as you would have done onto you. That is the Golden Rule, the Rule of Life.
We have all face hard times. It is during those times that we ultimately reach out to others to give us a glimpse of hope. Sometimes the flame of spirit can wane. But in life, there is always someone, something, or somewhere we can turn to rekindle that burning flame within.
We must work on abundance. Because ultimately the most selfish thing we can do is to become selfless. It is from this inner kindling of Self, that ultimately we build the reserves needed to give loving kindness to others, which can not only increase our own happiness habits, but also rekindle that dwindling light in others.
Have you tended to your personal flame today?
