ROXANNE

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is AUTHENTICITY.

"It’s very important for people to remember that anger is powerful.  So is selfishness along with cruelty.  However, kindness overpowers all.  You may think your kindness makes a difference for other people only, but it doesn’t.  What comes around goes around, and your act will be returned.  Your most important reward is knowing how much you just helped someone in need.  You feel satisfaction knowing that you might have saved someone’s day, week, or even life.  What you have really been given is the most precious gift you can receive, the gift of kindness. Everyone is capable of being kind.  Everyone can help.  The real question is, why don’t we? This should not be a question.  Kindness should come automatically.  It should be common rather than a rarity.  We can make this happen and do something kind today."

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Sometimes we show our love when we are quiet and do not say a word, at the other times – we speak loud to express it. Sometimes we show our love by impulsiveness. Many times we have to show our love when we forgive someone. The problem with our world is that people don’t learn to listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don’t listen to the actions that accompany the words and do not mind the expression on the face.
