The more positivity, love and light you reflect, the more light is mirrored your way. Sharing beautiful hellos is the quickest way to earn spiritual brownie points.

Every time you say hello to a stranger, your heart acknowledges over and over again that we are all family.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["beautiful","beauty","brownie-point","candle","family","friendliness","friendly","friends","friendship","hate","heart","hello","hellos","human-family","illuminate","indifference","kind","kindness","light","love","loving-others","man","mankind","mirrored","mirroring","neighbor","peace","project","radiate","reflect","reflection","relationships","reward","shine","society","spiritual","spiritual-reward","stranger","truth","united","unity","world-peace"],"id":4563,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Treat your relationship as if you are growing the most beautiful sacred flower.

It certainly isn't easy loving enemies, but sometimes the person most difficult to love is the one who is MORE fortunate than we are. The one who receives the promotion we deserved. The one who gets the recognition we desired, the honor we sought or the affections of the lover we had hoped to win. It is easy to resent those who seem to be more fortunate – those who “get all the breaks.","author":"Steve Goodier","tags":["development","emotions","envy","harmony","hatred","jealousy","love","love-of-neighbor","loving","loving-others","resentment"],"id":9552,"author_id":"Steve+Goodier"},{"text":"Love is donating a chunk of your life to patch up holes in the life of another.","author":"Richelle E.
