If you stumble upon this site today, I encourage you to use it for one purpose – stop and focus on exactly where you are, what you are doing, how you are feeling, and what thoughts you are having in this moment…

Now that you are grounded in the present, if you like, shift your attention to a short reading. While you’re reading, take note of any thoughts, feelings, or judgments. If you become distracted, acknowledge it, and do your best to bring yourself back to the reading:

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Have a mindful day,

Perry
