Being Fully Present

If you’ve been a long time reader, you know that in one of my leadership classes, we went through an exercise that resulted in a declaration of who we are and how we intend to show up in the world - what do we stand for?

My declaration was to be the possibility of peace through a compassionate heart.

Imagine, then, my delight when I turned the page to the following on my “Peaceful Quotes” calendar this past weekend:

One of the secrets of inner peace is the practice of compassion.  If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.  If you want to be happy, practice compassion.  Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.  Without them, humanity cannot survive. 

- Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama

Practice compassion.  Share love.  Live in peace.
