BUILD A BRIDGE

Beware of hating the man who hates.  Remember that you are here to help him lift off his yoke, not to boast that you stagger under one of a nobler design.

Quote from:  The Little Book of Forgiveness by D. Patrick Miller

REFLECTION:

  • With so much divisiveness,  whether it be political or in a relationships with family, friends or neighbors, how can you help someone lift the yoke of hatred toward you or another?  

  • Write about a time you were able to bridge a divide with another person or group. 

  • Take some time and reflect on the other person’s perspective.   How can you understand that viewpoint?  If appropriate engage in a dialogue with that person to find common ground and greater understanding.

RICHES

The greatest good you can do for others is not just to share your riches but to reveal to them their own.

Quote from Benjamin Disraeli

REFLECTION:

What “riches” can you reveal to a family member, friend or loved one that they possess?

Share your thoughts in person or through a note or a conversation with them. 

Formula for a Quality Life

Quality of life does not simply mean adding a scheduled vacation into an already over scheduled calendar.  Quality of life means that to fully trust and follow your inner promptings, regardless of the conflict to the rational, societal expectations of you – you are fully committing to pleasing yourself first and foremost and to giving time to discovering how that may be done.

Noone is experiencing incarnation into the physical in order to accomplish someone else’s version of who you should be.

You must understand what makes you happy.  You are happy when you follow your heart as the heart is the link with the Divine Self.

When you are happy, it is because you are aligned to God’s will as it moves through you moment to moment.

From: Channeled reading by Martha Snyder

REFLECTION:

  • What makes you happy?
  • Is there something you know you should do (inner prompting)?  What is it?   How can you take one bold move toward that?
