Love Leads The Way

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

“He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.” Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

I believe that every outcome begins with my attitude toward it. While I might approach someone or a situation with the best of intentions, it doesn’t necessarily mean I have a pure and open heart.

There are many sides to everything and it’s important that I be willing to understand the different perspectives from both sides. Hearing the truth can be challenging, my speaking the truth as I see it, is essential. Somewhere in between there is common ground.

When consistent efforts are not what you hope for, it might be a good time to step back, and ask yourself, who do I serve by knocking and how will it benefit others should this gate open to me? The key is to always come from a genuine and loving place. Let go of the outcome and watch what doors open.

About the Author : Marlene

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
