Build Strength — by Danielle LaPorte
Build strength through: reflection.
Build strength through: joy.
Build strength through: stillness.
Build strength through: action.
Build strength through: cleansing.
Build strength through: laughter.
Build strength through: generosity.
Build strength through: asking for help.
Build strength through: blessing strangers.
Build strength through: nourishing your friends with attentiveness.
Build strength through: feeling very, very deeply.
Build strength by loving as you wish to be loved.
Build strength through: being incredibly gentle.
Build strength through: including.
Build strength through: putting yourself in their shoes.
Build strength through: forgiving.
Build strength through: honest prayer.
Build strength through: simplifying.
Build strength through: encouraging yourself and others.
Build strength through: dissolving worry with trust and then really trusting.
Build strength through: declaring your ideals.
Build strength through: sacred movement.
Build strength through: rest.
Build strength through: hydration.
Build strength through: telling the truth.
Build strength through: creating beauty everywhere you go.
Build strength through: leaving it better than you found it.
Build strength by being at ease with the Great Mystery.

Re: Build Strength — by Danielle LaPorte
Thank you, Welles.
I'm imagining how strong I would be if I actively cultivated these things every day... seems harmony and well being too would be a by product as well...

For some reason this poem brought this song to mind...as well as a trip down memory lane....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4
Turn Turn Turn
by The Byrds
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Good old Byrds! A song or two of theirs came up on my iPod in the last couple of days as I was working in the shop.
