Love always needs a direct object. - Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," July 12, 2014 [We're on the right track when that direct object is God...according to me.]
The secret to having peace of mind is to take nothing personally...be it compliments or complaints, snubs or snarks. That includes death itself...especially death itself. Nothing is personal to us individually or as a whole for we are but God's image out-pictured by him with his blessing to us to do as we freely will. On our return journey, we become his blessing by our gratitude.
Well-grounded people seem to have the ability, by God's grace, to take our calamities of life in stride and turn them into demonstrations of faith. -- Anonymous
