Doing Our Best

Affirmations:
I trust myself to do my best.
I forgive my impatience.
I allow each person to be their best.
I love myself as I am…..and I love You, too!

Always Doing Our Best

If we knew better, we would do better.
Let us learn to be patient with ourselves and others.
Let us trust people really want to do better, when they are conscious.
People learn to do and be what they are from their life experiences.

I am always I doing my best, even when I am not!
What does that mean?
All people are not at their absolute best, because they do not know better.
We all have days when we cannot and do not give what is our best.

Sometimes we forget.
Sometimes we neglect.
Sometimes we are confused.
Sometimes conflicted.

Sometimes misinformed.
Sometimes fearful or upset.
Sometimes emotionally distracted.
Sometimes tired or afraid or in pain or sick or getting old and unable.

Everyone has bad moments.
And what do we do with them?
How do we wake up ourselves and others?
How do we care enough to be helpful?

If we are patient and forgiving, we can be helpful.
If we listen deeply to their need, we will be understanding.
If we will trust they are doing their best or asking for help, we will be kind.
If we respect and believe in them, we will hear their need.

Perhaps from Someone You Know.
Please forgive me.
Please listen to me.
Please understand me.
Please accept me.

Please allow me some time and space.
Please give me some grace.
Please don’t give up on me.
Please help me be.

I am always trying my best for where I am right in this moment.
I don’t want to look bad.
I don't want to lose face.
I don't want to make you mad at me.

I want your love and respect.
I want to let you know I am trying to be.
I cant be what I was before.
I need you to just love me.

Let us give this grace to our youth and our elderly.
Let us be forgiving and accepting and understanding.
Let us be patient with each human being as they are.
Let us help one another to be patient and trusting and allowing.

Time to remember how to love unconditionally and serve from our heart.
We can bring healing and smiles with our forgiveness and trust.
We can return to a world of safety and sanctuary when we remember to let go.
We can breathe deep with the love and acceptance we feel for absolutely everyone.

Loving us all.
