We often hear that Violence is a cycle.... And that war is a cycle. But, did you know that LOVE is a cycle as well? When you give love it will come back to you and that is a force much more powerful then anything motivated by hate, sadness or violence.
There are no guarantees that this life will be a pretty one or full of happiness & smiles or a roof over your head or money in your pocket or food to eat when your hungry... So many things are outside of our control, but some of the most important things are the intangible ones - faith, hope, love, determination. At times I'm reminded how important it is that we not only cultivate these things for ourselves but that we share them with those around us, those that need to be reminded that they are worthy of much more then the circumstances they find themselves in, that they're not alone. Go out and give a hug to someone who needs it... Offer a comforting word, look someone in the eyes and give them a genuine smile. Dedicate a prayer to someone other than yourself... Extend a hand without being fearful of getting dirty. Be willing to hear someone out, to offer an encouraging word. There's so much we can do at any given moment that can help heal someone... Because that person who needs to be reminded that they are more than this one bad moment/phase/period of time could be you and isn't nice to think that even amid your darkest bleakest moments there will be someone to remind you that you are worthy of so much more than this...
