Love Is......

The thought manifests itself as word. The word manifests as deed. The deed develops into habit. The habit hardens into character. So watch the though and it's ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.-Buddha

What can multiply, but is one?

What can be created but not seen?

What is felt but not touched?

The answer to all the above riddles is, love! And if Buddha is correct it's the essence of good character. Love is the also essence of the spirit. It doesn't actually come from you as much as it flows through you. Isn't it easier to express love when your environment reflects that feeling? Isn't it less effort to fulfill others when you are first nourished?

Love is the first stage of enlightenment, it's both deliberate and natural. Doesn't it require effort to hate?

This is why the broader meaning of prosperity includes not just financial freedom, but also a quality of life that comes from our participation in a supportive and loving world. We have the choice to consciously transform our circumstances and prosper by simply opening our hearts to others.

Who could have imagined the road to prosperity and freedom lies within ourselves? (That was sarcasm.)
