Service

Being of service to each other including sentient beings is laudable. Greed is selfish and only serves one, yourself. We are here to serve, not to extort. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Possessions

Accumulation of possessions is not the path way to happiness. In order to embody happiness we have to be at peace within. As we were born so shall we die, clothed in nakedness, and empty handed. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Reciprocity

Sometimes we sow seeds on infertile soil. It is the same in life. It depends on the generosity of those we expend our time and energy on. What we give is dependent on our generosity, and not on the gratitude of others. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Work

To accomplish anything in life we have to be prepared to do the work that is required for its fulfillment. Nothing comes into being by happenstance. It’s all related to preparation. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Motive

We have to be discerning of our motives and the motives of the people who are in our inner circle. Ulterior motives are always at work in life. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Confidant

We like to complain about not finding the qualities we seek in those who are close to us and how we can’t risk confiding in them. Have we looked at ourselves in retrospect and ask ourselves whether we would trust ourselves as our confidant. We need a reality check. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Consciousness

We have to be consciously aware of our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Words that leave our lips are like fallen leaves which are blown hither and thither by the winds. They can’t be retrieved. We have to think on everything we think, say and do. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
