"Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind and so seem smaller, and we increase our capacity for connection -- or compassionate action ~~ Daniel Goleman ~~ good morning friends ~~ thinking about connection, compassion, love and gratitude this morning ~~ sometimes I have a tendency to be preoccupied with my self, my problems and my worries ~~ seems that at those time I lose my ability to act with the spiritual principles and act with selfish and sick principles which lead to a downward spiral ~~ instead, thinking of others and getting outside of myself leads me to once again practice the spiritual principles ~~ anyway, today I will view the world outside of my own world, act in compassion and love and live the spiritual principles ~~ have a day full of hope and wonder and beauty
