You are the light of my world,
The music in my heart and
The first thought of my day.

Sadness, disappointment, and severe challenge are events in life, not life itself. I do not minimize how hard some of these events are. They can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining center of everything you do. The Lord inspired Lehi to declare the fundamental truth, “Men are, that they might have joy.” That is a conditional statement: “they might have joy.” It is not conditional for the Lord. His intent is that each of us finds joy. It will not be conditional for you as you obey the commandments, have faith in the Master, and do the things that are necessary to have joy here on earth. ~Richard G. Scott

Accept the way you are, your personality, your mistakes, your looks, your humor, and foremost, yourself. If you have a vulgar sense of humor and you like it then who cares about some people who don’t. In other words, “be yourself” genuinely and then try to change if you truly want to. Take responsibility for your actions, mistakes and interests, basically all the good and bad things. For example, if you want to fix your anxiety problem then first of all “own it” and truly accept that you have an anxiety problem, and then try to fix it. ~wikiHow

It’s wonderful to realize that we are all in a family, we are all children of the Earth. We should take care of each other and we should take care of our environment, and this is possible with the practice of being together as a large family. A positive change in individual awareness will bring about a positive change in the collective awareness. Protecting the planet must be given the first priority. I hope you will take the time to sit down with each other, have tea with your friends and your family, and discuss these things. Invite Bodhisattva Earth Holder to sit and collaborate with you. Then make your decision and act to save our beautiful planet. Changing your way of living will bring you a lot of joy right away and, with your first mindful breath, healing will begin.  ~Thich Nhat Hanh

A great thinker was asked,
“What is the meaning of Life?”
He replied, “Life itself has no meaning,
it’s an opportunity to create a meaning.”

If  ‘special’ means loving, caring and dear,
If  ‘special’ means thoughtful too and
if  ‘special’ means tender, gentle and kind,
then special surely means ‘YOU’
