With a new year about to emerge, spirituality is something I would like to focus on more this new year. Meditate more reguarly. Read daily OM - daily not doing a mass catch up on them. They make me feel more centered, remind me to be aware, and teach me about mySELF. I want to learn more and make Buddhism more of a daily awareness instead of a thing that is just there under the surface. And daily becoming more the person I want to BE. So this is a good Daily OM for me today....
Growing Day by Day: "Becoming a better person in your own eyes is a whole-life project, and thus you should focus your step-by-step efforts on multiple areas of your existence. Since you likely know innately which qualities you consider good, growing as an individual is simply a matter of making an effort to do good whenever possible. Respect should be a key element of your efforts. When you acknowledge that all people are deserving of compassion, consideration, and dignity, you are naturally more apt to treat them in the manner you yourself wish to be treated. You will intuitively become a more active listener, universally helpful, and truthful. Going the extra mile in all you do can also facilitate evolution. Approaching your everyday duties with an upbeat attitude and positive expectations can help you make the world a brighter, more cheerful place. Finally, coming to terms with your values and then abiding by them will enable you to introduce a new degree of integrity and dignity into your life."
