MARY ANGELOU
The thing to do, it
seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's
cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you
call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your
language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.
- Maya

SELF ACCEPTANCE
Everything is
in flux.
Each moment
is a new moment – a different moment.
And we are new and different in each moment, too - growing and expanding
in our development.
Because life
is always changing, circumstances around us are also shifting. Sometimes conditions are more favorable than
others.
Despite what
is happening around us, it is important that we maintain our personal integrity
to the best of our ability and to acknowledge that our ability to do our best can
vary from one moment to the next. What
matters is that we remain fair to ourselves – to accept who we are in the moment
and release self judgment.
If we are lovingly
steadfast in our thinking and behavior toward ourselves, then we can avoid hurting
ourselves through guilt, regret and self abuse.
Will you
Pause to be loving?
Make each
moment count toward self acceptance. We
invite you to Pause today.

FEELING GOOD - Esther Hicks
“If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no
one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all
of that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control
your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your
reality. For no one else can think for you, no one else can do it. It is only
you, every bit of it you.” – Esther Hicks
The greatest gift
you can ever give
another person
is your own happiness.
- Esther Hicks
Does goodness have a place in your life?

FEAR + MIND READING = ASSUMPTIONS
Without
distinction, we have extinction.
If we
do not comprehend that each of us is distinct from one another, equipped with
our own belief system that is based on our own reality, then we will not be
able to understand that assumptions separate us.
When we make
assumptions about ourselves and others without investigation, misfortune and
separation ensues.
Assumptions cause us various levels of pain and suffering. Chaos, drama, hurt, misunderstanding – these are
the results born out of assumptions. The
price for assumptions is destruction – time, relationships, creativity, intelligence,
emotions, money, resources, and on and on.
If we do not learn from these sufferings, we limit our spiritual and
self growth.
Why do we make assumptions? Because of fear - fear about us, others - it doesn't matter. What matters is that we understand that fear drives us to cower from the truth. Fear feeds assumptions.
So how do we refrain
from making assumptions about ourselves and about others? The answer lies in knowledge, courage and
willingness.
If we are
willing to seek knowledge, and willing to pursue it, we can avoid
assumptions. Even in the face of fear,
if we can find the willingness to ask questions, to express what we really
want, to communicate with others with clarity - we will dissolve
assumptions. And the more we inquire,
and the more we are truthful, the stronger we become in our convictions, integrity
and courage.
Will you
Pause to be authentic?
Make each moment
count toward choosing knowledge. We
invite you to Pause today.
