that everything you do, every word, every action matters to someone
that your joy is contagious, even when you don’t realize it
that the potential within you is far greater than you could ever imagine
that you don’t have to be smart or beautiful or rich to change the world
that your emotions are valuable and to be honored
that one person can and does make a difference
that you don’t have to be the way you were yesterday; today is a new day
that everything you feel is a result of how you choose to respond to life’s experiences
that there is no right or wrong, good or bad, only our interpretation of life
that everyone has a beautiful soul (yes, even those you think are evil)
that your essence is sheer perfection and nothing can change that fact
that it is entirely possible to live peacefully and happily in the human realm
that you are made of stardust (yes, of the exact same elements that make up the stars)
that you are inherently valuable, without having to do a thing
that becoming more spiritual requires you to be more and more human
that you are capable of anything you can dream up
that words can hurt (sometimes more than sticks and stones)
that animals (both tame and wild) are far more tuned into us than we realize
that god is everywhere and in everything
that there are no coincidences; they only appear that way to our limited 3-D brains
that life supports you in every way, even when it feels quite the opposite
that you are deeply loved and infinitely loveable
that your heart has the power to touch the lives of many, many people
that your life matters, more than you know
that we are all part of a greater whole — there is no ‘I’, except in our perception
that you are a wave within a vast, infinite ocean
that science doesn’t know the half of it (probably less than a trillionth of it)
that anything is possible
that there is no ‘there’ to get to, no ‘state of being’ to achieve
that the light of the world emanates from your very center

then I would respond with “Namaste”.
Joss,
Thank you.
