LET LOVE…

Let love always lead you to listen more deeply, understand more fully, connect more securely, forgive more freely, communicate more clearly, and respond more gently.

MORE TIME…

Fear wants us to act too soon.  But patience, hard as it is, helps us outlast our preconceptions.  Given enough time, most of our enemies cease to be enemies, because waiting allows us to see ourselves in them.

FROM:  Mark Nepo – BOOK OF AWAKENING  Having the Life You Want By Being Present To The Life You Have

REFLECTION:

  • How has some time passing allowed you to see a person/situation differently?
  • Is there a situation that fear/anxiety is causing you to want to take action?
  • Can you pause…  Allow some time to pass so you can RESPOND not react?
  • Examine:  Is the thing you despise in your enemy something that you are refusing to look at in you?? (plank verses spec?)

CHANGE SOMEONE’S DAY!

Everyone enjoys being acknowledged and appreciated.  Sometimes even the simplest act of gratitude can change someone’s entire day.  Take the time to recognize and value the people around you and appreciate those who make a difference in your lives.
