Be generous in prosperity,
and thankful in adversity.Be fair in thy judgment,
and guarded in thy speech.Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness,
and a home to the stranger.Be eyes to the blind,
and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.Be a breath of life to the body of humankind,
a dew to the soil of the human heart,
and a fruit upon the tree of humility.(Bahá’u’lláh)

Yes. A high aspiration, but so vital! Even just having the hope of being such a person helps one be able to manage it, I think. 😉
Hoping your friends are finding comfort in their hard times, and you with them.
I know that I’ll be never be able to live up to that ideal. But I am determined to at least try to be the best person I can be.
Some days it’s just harder than on other days.
What beautiful words !
This is a wonderful blessing and something to strive for… even if you fall short in some areas you’ll undoubtedly hit the mark in others.
Thanks for sharing!
