I read this quote and instantly fell in love with it. I am wondering how I missed it in the past? I am sure other people have seen it before. Makes me question where I've been, lol. Oh well, I've read it finally and I think it is one amazingly true quote. I'm in awe of Martin Luther King Jr, he was one amazing man
I'm going to see if I can find it on line so that I can pin it on Pinterest and I also want to put it on my vision board. I have an online vision board that I love but I always have to rely on other people to fix it. I have a cork board and I am making one to go on my wall in the living room. I'm going to get a smaller one for my bedroom too.
Once I've made them, I'm taking pictures for my blog. I'm kind of excited; I can finally put exactly what I want on it not what other people think I should have there. I'm really grateful for my daughter Andrea who made my beautiful board in the past but I do need to change it up.
Martin Luther King Jr. is so right, the only way that we can overcome darkness is to bring light into it. Everyone wants to know why Heavenly Father doesn't stop people from suffering? Because, that would be taking away our free agency. We are the ones who need to stand up for each other. We cannot expect God to fix everything for us.
We need to love each other and we most definitely need to stop judging each other. Not one of is perfect on this earth. When we judge we show how illiterate we are, or how much we think it's okay when it is NOT okay. I really wish we remembered that love is the way and what will bring us the most happiness.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Wonderful post Launna!!! I do believe love is the way, but lately, I have to admit that I need to really look at my own inner darkness, embrace it, then let it go. I feel that my compassion becomes stronger for myself and others when I realize my own human qualities, all of it. I feel very liberated!!! I always enjoy your posts, each one gets me to reflect on something that is important!!!
ReplyDeleteBig hug!!
I agree Suzanne, we all have darkness, I constantly work at putting light inside so it cannot own me. The more I open up, the less it is there. I have learned so much compassion in the past few years and maybe that is why I have had to deal with the challenges I have had.
DeleteThank you for posting Suzanne;)
Ah Launna, as always.. Love this and you are so right!! Reading your blog is always joy for me...:))
ReplyDeleteAwe Maarit, you are so sweet to me, I am hoping everything is okay with you. I will check out your blog later today, once you have posted:)
DeleteI think wish boards are a great idea for reminding ourselves what we're striving towards. And, yes, you're right. Only YOU can know what truly belongs on your own wish board. Can't wait to see the pictures of them!
ReplyDeleteHey Jenn, I can hardly wait to complete them, I have to get my hands on some magazines. I am going to make one for work.
DeleteEye roll. I know that vision board comment was directed at me. Just because I won't add David. Maybe you need to see past him. There is so much more to life. -Drea
ReplyDeleteThanks pumpkin, this has nothing to do with you, this has to do with me being able to make changes at the drop of a hat. Besides, don't worry about me with David, I got some inspiration on that, nothing for you to worry about :)
