Loving Kindness Right Now
The innocent mistake that keeps us caught in our own particular style of ignorance, unkindness and shut downness is that we have not been encouraged to see clearly what is, with gentleness.
Instead, there is a kind of basic misunderstanding that we should try to be better than we already are. That we should try to improve ourselves, that we should try to get away from painful things, or that if we could just learn how to get away from the painful things then we would be happy.
That is the innocent naive misunderstanding that we all share, which can effect our ability to experience happiness, contentment and peace.
While working towards a goal or progressing in your life be at peace with your being at this very moment. Breath in love, breath out kindness. Remember this, as you are making goals for your life or creating new habits. Loving kindness for yourself right here right now.
