To err is human.. to forgive divine.

Your Week Ahead starting Saturday 28 August 2010: 'There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.' So said the great philosopher Aldous Huxley. There's not much now in the external world that you can easily adjust, but in your inner world, there's a great change that you can bring about. Those two worlds are much more deeply connected than most of us ever realise or remember. Alter your point of view and you'll also alter what you are looking at! Convince yourself that you can reach your objective and you'll start to see how that's possible. If there's something you're unhappy about, seek a source of inner strength that doesn't depend on changing circumstances. Your Week Ahead Part Two - Love Focus: 'The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.' The poet's words remain as relevant now as ever they were. Justice excites us. We strive for it. We crave it. Mercy, though, we are not always so enthusiastic about. We feel that some people deserve what they get. We do not feel able to forgive or we do not see it as our duty to look for that ability within ourselves. Yet a spark of the divine exists in us all. We owe it to ourselves, the people around us... and to whatever (or whoever) put us here to be as generous as we can be with our kindness. You won't regret being big- hearted this week.
