Let's trade in all our judging for appreciating. Let's lay down our righteousness and just be together.

love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.

Love, then, is letting go of fear.

With mindfulness, loving kindness, and self-compassion, we can begin to let go of our expectations about how life and those we love should be.

You want to change your life fast? Then trade your expectation for appreciation; you’ll have a whole new life.

When you’re grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”

Excerpt From: Daria Sanetra. “Your Emotional Belly Cure”. Apple Books.

If hate is what made you, how does one replace it with love?

Imagine living your life without judging others. You can easily forgive others and let go of any judgments that you have. You don’t have the need to be right, and you don’t need to make anyone else wrong. You respect yourself and everyone else, and they respect you in return.

Slowly, the practice of gratitude will begin to transform your consciousness so you start to detect Divine Presence and Divine Mercy all around you, which in time tremendously lessens your fear and suffering. For, it will make you aware of the maternal protection of God and of how the entire universe and all of life is constantly giving you signs of God's glory, beauty, and love. Practicing gratitude not only heals you of vanity and pride; it also heals your fear, grief, and insecurity of separation.

So, let us move forward with faith in ourselves, in our intelligence, in our indomitable spirit. Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion and love.

whenever you got angry with someone, you should replace the face of that person in your mind with the face of someone you love ...perhaps you could find something to like in him.

To overcome fear, the best thing is to be overwhelmingly grateful. — SIR JOHN TEMPLETON

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dynamic nature of your own being and of reality, you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid. You're able to keep your eyes open, your heart open, and your mind open. And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias, and aggression. You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die. And, you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start to do things differently.
