🧘♂️ The #DalaiLama on the #MeaningOfLife: #Happiness Through Compassion
"The true meaning of life is to be happy. But real happiness comes from compassion, not material things."
The Dalai Lama emphasizes #love, #compassion, and interdependence as the foundation of inner peace and human connection. Anger and ego cloud the mind — #patience, #care, and understanding are the path to true #strength.
📌 Compassion isn’t weakness — it’s the key to a fulfilled life.

Quote of the day, 4 May: St. Raphael Kalinowski
‘Do you love me? Do you love me?’ [Cf. Jn 21:15-17]. Love gives strength to do the will of God in every situation, to avoid everything that might displease Him, to work and to suffer for His glory.
St. Teresa wanted to suffer or to die; St. Magdalen de Pazzi did not want to die, but to suffer.
Love is strong as death [Sg 8:6]. And just as nothing can resist death, love gives strength to triumph over every challenge. Then you don’t feel pain, and if you do you welcome it. From this fire of God’s love the flame of love of neighbor arises.
Anyone who loves God with all his heart desires that God be loved by all and this desire pervades his whole life….
But who is able to achieve such a degree of perfect love, which will free our soul from attachment to any earthly goods and completely unite our will with God’s will?
When the Divine Savior again asks us for our hearts, let us ask Him to take them to Himself; only He can purify them and light the fire of holy love and an ardent desire to be detached from everything and to want only His holy will.
Saint Raphael Kalinowski

Featured image: This detailed view of The Denial of St. Peter by an anonymous follower of Gerard (Gerrit) van Honthorst (Dutch, 1592–1656) was painted in the 17th century and is now in the Prado Museum in Madrid. The canvas, cut on all four sides, is believed to be based on an engraving after van Honthorst’s original, dated around 1620–25 and held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Christian tradition has long seen Jesus’ threefold question to Peter in John 21 as a loving invitation to reaffirm his devotion, undoing his triple denial on the night of Christ’s Passion.

I saw your post @lyndamerry484 and thought: "Hey another cool thing to say about Canada", then I moved up to @randahl's post and saw that it was about Ukraine.
Being decent, standing strong and prevailing is worth cherishing, but it is NOT an anomaly.
We should learn from that.

Today is the first day of the Hebrew month of Iyar, pronounced /ee-'yar/ 🌿
א' בְּאִיָּר
A month of healing, movement, and quiet renewal.
To me, Iyar isn’t about dramatic new beginnings —
it’s about steady, gentle growth.
Winter is behind us, spring is in full bloom,
And Iyar invites us to keep going…
Slowly but surely.
In Israel, this month holds some of the most powerful days —
Holocaust Remembrance Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day —
Reminding us what it means to carry both grief and light at the same time.
Iyar is also known as a month of personal miracles.
A time to ask for healing —
Physical, emotional, or spiritual —
And trust that it’s already on its way, even if you can’t see it yet.
Wishing you a month of sweetness, strength, and renewal 💙

💪 Hypertrophy: How Muscles Actually Grow
Hypertrophy is just a fancy word for building bigger muscles. 📈 It’s the process your body goes through to make your muscles grow.
👉 You grow muscles by challenging them with hard work.
👉 Small amounts of muscle damage are good.
👉 Feeling a muscle burn during a workout is part of growth.
