Life passes quickly. Having a direction that is positive makes life meaningful. It is easy to slide from one day until the next until the next until we die. Adding a purpose helps us become better human beings. This is motivation, motivation to help our sisters and brothers. Every morning when we wake up, we set a motivation for the day. Concern for the welfare of others is in tune with reality. We are all interconnected in ways seen and unseen as sisters and brothers. Our home is Mother Earth to whom we are deeply connected.

Helping others fills our heart with meaning and joy. Step by step we become better human beings and eventually enlightened.
