"Be grateful to everyone" is about making peace with the aspects of ourselves that we have rejected... If we were to make a list of people we don't like - people we find obnoxious, threatening, or worthy of contempt - we would discover much about those aspects of ourselves that we can't face... other people trigger the karma that we haven't worked out.
Pema ChodronWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and Infinite love is the only truth; everything else is an illusion.
Pema ChodronThere's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.
Pema ChodronDeep down in the human spirit, there is a reservoir of courage. It is always available, always waiting to be discovered.
