The Good Life
Decision
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious.
―Rumi
Try it! Instead of 'mother-in-law,' maybe call her "spiritual teacher", and her visit counts as an "intense spiritual retreat”.
The fisherman and the businessman
There was once a businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small Brazilian village.
As he sat, he saw a Brazilian fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore having caught quite few big fish.
The businessman was impressed and asked the fisherman, “How long does it take you to catch so many fish?”
The fisherman
Remember that nothing is too small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
