Give Away What You Need Most

Einstein once said that "the single most important decision any of us will ever make is whether or not to believe that the universe is friendly." Sometimes this is a hard truth to live by as invariably people will disappoint you or hurt you or lie. But the only tragedy in those hurtful times is if they change you--if you become the one shooting sad arrows. If we are to give away what we most desire than we should only give love. I like to practice this theory. Some mornings I wake up and decide to send love to every person I meet. All day each person I pass I will look at them and say "I love you" with my mind and it amazes me how the world then seems to take on a different texture, as if there's more air in the sky. Sometimes people will look up and smile. And without even trying I see the best qualities of everyone I meet--their beauty, their presence, their nuances. The world truly becomes a friendlier place.
