'Cleanliness'

Cleanliness of heart and soul is the inner light that shines when we let go of bitterness, ego, and deceit, making room for truth, love, and peace to dwell. The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart.

If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness.
