Good morning

About a month since I sat down and did some meditation although I do try and be mindful through my daily activities. Today’s was on cultivating loving kindness. I find the idea of self love hard, but I substitute this for acceptance and it works better for me. The mantra is: May I be happy, may I be safe, may I be healthy, may I be at peace.

The Seven Steps to Happiness
Commitment
The first step is commitment. In every life you are meant to commit. That is why the word is commit-meant. Commitment gives you CHARACTER.
Character
Character is when all your characteristics—all facets, flaws, and facts—are under your control. Yin and yang meet there, totally balanced. Character gives you DIGNITY.
Dignity
People start trusting you, liking you, respecting you. Dignity will give you DIVINITY.
Divinity
What is Divinity? Divinity is when people have no duality about you. They trust you right away. They have no fear about you. Divinity gives you GRACE.
Grace
Where there is grace, there is no interference, no gap between two people, no hidden agenda. Grace gives you the power to SACRIFICE.
Power to Sacrifice
You can stand any pain for that person. That sacrifice gives you HAPPINESS.
Happiness
Commitment—the power to succeed when you are powerless. Character—you cannot be shaken. Dignity—do not hesitate to do what you have to do for somebody. Divinity— nothing can touch you.Grace— stand any disgrace with grace. Power to sacrifice—know you own nothing, that everything is of God, and give to whomsoever has the need.Happiness—do something for no self-gain. A few breaths of life through you can uplift something for a moment. “I” has only one meaning—that you can do something for somebody. When “I” is for yourself you have wasted your life.”
