Contemplative Monday

***This post published all on its own, so I will let it be.

The following passage is from 'Heart Advice, Weekly Quotes from Pema Chodron'.

AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END

"In the morning when you wake up, reflect on the day ahead and aspire to use it
to keep a wide-open heart and mind.

At the end of the day, before going to sleep, think over what you've done.

If you fulfilled your aspiration, even once, rejoice in that.

If you went against your aspiration, rejoice that you are able to see what you did
and are no longer living in ignorance.

This way you will be inspired to go forward with increasing clarity,
confidence and compassion."
