Be an Example

The gifts that are within our power to give our loved ones go beyond simple love and support. Playing an active role in the lives of family and friends is frequently a matter of serving as a gentle guide by showing them how to live more conscious, kind, fulfilling lives. Rather than lecturing or persuading people to follow a path similar to our own, we respect their right to go through their own paths while demonstrating the potential of ours, using our own actions and choices as a teaching tool. We don’t need to go out of our way to show the specifics of a concious, fulfilling life. Those we come across will notice – it will naturally create a spark of curiosity when we’re being an example rather than preaching the story. Your kindhearted and accommodating mood will provide you with a platform from which you can share your own personal philosophy with your loved ones through your behavior today.
