Sacred possibilities always exist in our lives. The goodness and the gentleness of the world are always there for us to appreciate. This is not a myth; it is actual fact. — “Sacred Outlook: The Practice of Vajrayogini,” in

I am always overwhelmed how much good in people comes forward during and right after natural disasters. I wish we could channel such generosity and unselfishness every day of the year, but isn’t that the point of the saying above.
Sacred possibilities exist every day, if only we open our minds and hearts to those possibilities. From personal experience, I know that little acts of kindness can make the difference in your neighbors’ lives as well as your own. In Jeff Olsen’s, The Slight Edge, he talks a great deal about compounding — How one can take spare moments in one’s day, and use them to make big difference over time.
Imagine if everyone spent just five minutes a day seeking sacred possibilities and acting on them. Opportunities to be good and gentle stare us in the face everyday. Seek them out. They are not hard to find.
I call sacred possibilities divine appointments. It changes my point of view when I consider that God has made the appointment and needs to accomplish His work in and through me.
Well Put, Cousin!
