I picked up these thoughts from Arthur C. Brooks, who wrote Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier with Oprah Winfrey. He is a devout Catholic and is a friend of the Dalai Lama. After his recent visit, he jotted some notes from their conversation. He says it better than I could.Try living these, not as a checklist but incorporated as a fundamental way of life. Maybe I’ll write these on a PostIt note and put it on my desk as a reminder when I begin my day.
Healthy faith builds on seven truths:
- All people are our family;
- Life demands gratitude;
- Love repays love;
- We are made for empathy;
- Love is action, not a feeling;
- That action is compassion.
- Life’s purpose is to uplift and unite others.
Become a teacher of love. Your classroom is every interaction. Teach through action.
