"FEELINGS, TENTATIVELY TOSSED, CAN BARELY SCALE THE WALLS OF OUR SELF-IMPRISONING FEARS. WHEN WE RECOGNIZE OUR DIVINE NATURE, OUR SPIRIT SOARS OVER OBSOLETE WALLS. FREE, THEN TO LOVE OURSELVES, WE CAN LOVINGLY EMBRACE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCES." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line

"Human beings seldom step outside of themselves to really grasp the needs of others. We often project our own thoughts and beliefs upon strangers, and make judgments based upon how we think they 'should' be living their lives. If only we could experience a few moments inside the heart of another person, the world would be a much more compassionate and benevolent place." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 12/25/06

"Just a simple gesture of kindness — what possible difference could it make? Ah, there lies the mystery and the magic! Do we only give because we want an ego boost from knowing we 'did good,' or only when we get tangible proof that our gift will be put to 'proper' use? The beauty of unconditional kindness is that we may NEVER know." —Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 8/28/06

"Chance encounters often create magical opportunities for joy, understanding and personal growth. The key here is to stay open ... for even the most powerful sunbeam cannot pierce a wall of stone." — Chelle Thompson © 2005 Inspiration Line

"It's important to give without expecting anything in return, rather than keeping a tally of whom we've helped and who has helped us. Silence and service go hand in hand. Random acts of kindness, particularly those anonymously accomplished, reflect a healthy non-attachment to deed or outcome." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 12/20/04

"We never know when some small kindness will forever make a difference in the lives of total strangers. Continuously performing good deeds ... even without recognition ... will create a trail of miracles in our wake." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 6/7/04

"A problem often arises when we try to love our neighbor as we love OURSELVES ... Oops, no wonder we can sometimes treat others with so little kindness and compassion." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
