get the sense that your kindness gets percieved as weekness? It takes so much strength to be kind in some situations😅

If you can, as much as possible, cultivate that quality of human warmth, wanting genuinely for other people to be happy; that’s the best way to fulfill your own happiness. This is also the most gratifying state of mind. Those guys who believe in selfishness and say, “You do that because you feel good about it” — this is so stupid. Because if you help others but you don’t care a damn, then you won’t feel anything! Wanting to separate doing something for others from feeling good yourself is like trying to make a flame that burns with light but no warmth. If we try humbly, with some happiness, to enhance our benevolence, that will be the best way to have a good life. That’s the best modest advice I could give.

Hi there! I'm really trying to find some metta meditation retreats especially in Australia - any tips??

I would also be willing to travel if necessary!

Inquire into the nature of your experience.

You are already complete.

Rest as your true nature and recognize the perfect expression of you that you already are.

There is no need to place limitations on oneself.

We are what happens when stars explode.

Shine on friends... shine on.

May you be well. May you be happy. May you be peaceful. May you be Love(d).

How do you come back to believing in and finding that feeling again after a really rough day?
I think I'm burned out at work, and this morning I woke up with just this dark feeling of not being able to feel connected to others and feeling the worst about humans in general. And the day only got worse from there. I just worry about being able to lighten myself back to that feeling again.

Instead of saying things like "I love you", or "may you feel peace" etc; I've been imaging people laughing or smiling. Is there a name for this so I can read more about it? It feels a lot less touchy feely and it makes me feel good.
