from hate into respect
anger into understanding
frustration into peace
anxiety into confidence
from doubt into faith
fear into trust
resentment into compassion
despair into delight
from denial into acceptance
complexity into simplicity
judgment into forgiveness,
insult into complement
from confusion into belief
struggle into surrender
selfishness into generosity
ownership into giving
Most worldly achievements will ultimately turn to dust.
