We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others, yet at the same time before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others, yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves. -Taken from, No man is an Island by Thomas Merton
I read this thought while eating my breakfast today and said to myself "Wow! That's a lot more to chew on than my cereal" so I thought I would share it to give others something to think about through the course of their day. Enjoy and make it a great day.
