Not taking the time or making the effort to improve our character, our manners, our morals or our ethics. Is the biggest INSULT we give to OUR SELF.
Everyday we should become a better person than yesterday. We should have the courage to always do right, and when we do wrong we should the courage to seek forgiveness and never repeat the mistake.
That is mindfulness and self respect, which automatically leads to respect for humanity and the world.
Money and Success is not why we are a live. We are alive to be good and display goodness.
Today In the Jain Calendar is the festival of forgiveness.
Here are a few thoughts on forgives and a piece of a prayer… hope you enjoy.. What is forgiveness to you ?

A lovely post, Bella. Indeed, we are here to be present in each moment, take our action, and continue to do that. The results are not ours. Forgiveness is the capacity to be humble, to know our shortcomings, accept them, be easy with ourselves, showing compassion to ourselves, then seeing these same things in others, so we fully get the reflection and can show compassion to everyone else. Good to read from you, my friend.

I like this post a lot. Friday’s a good day for these reflections. I am Catholic and we say say a prayer every time in church asking for forgiveness and asking each other to pray for us all.

I think many people would disagree with you, Bella, but I am of the same view as you. It is nice to have enough money to be able to pay your bills, but it certainly isn’t something to live exclusively for.

You are right many people will disagree with me. Money is essential and savings are needed especially these days. But there is more to life. Thank you Robbie
