Love for life

Don’t let your earnest desire to save the world end up poisoning it. Step back, dial down your ego, be sure your own house is in good order.

Take full responsibility for you, before you allow yourself to even have an opinion on how anyone else should live. Be quick to offer generosity, compassion, understanding, and slow to direct judgment.

No one person has all the answers. That includes you, me, each and every leader, philosopher, commentator.

History is massive and your perspective is miniscule. If looking at life doesn’t fill you with humility and gratitude, look again.

There is much good you can do, right here, right now. Just don’t compromise your potential achievement by the need to prove a point.

Live life well, and let live. Love, and let your love for life and all who live it guide your every choice.

— Ralph Marston
