Respect Builds Trust!

Learn to trust and respect your words and actions.

Be your best alone or with others.

As you respect yourself, you will be respected.

RESPECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WORDS & BEHAVIOR.

Affirmations:

I love, trust and respect myself.

I attract trusting respectful relationships.

I observe and learn quickly what is appropriate behavior in new situations.

I trust myself more, the more respectful I am.

 

Respect Builds Trust!

 

Respect yourself and you will learn to trust yourself.

Disrespect creates lack of courage and weakness.

It is difficult to trust yourself if you do not respect you.

The more you have respect, the more confident you feel.

 

If you have never witnessed respect, you may not know what it is.

If you have not been respected by parents and teachers, you may not feel worthy of respect.

If you have not seen good manners, you may not even understand how it looks.

If you associate with people who have little respect for themselves, they may not respect you.

 

Life is a game of learning and often copying those with whom you associate.

When you watch parents who are disrespectful, you may think it is normal.

When you have been abused or neglected, you may accept it as OK.

When you are in disrespectful relationships, you may simply see it all as normal.

 

The dilemma is how to learn the difference between respect and disrespect.

As I work with parents, teens and children, I realize there is much missing.

Media and what seems popular is often disparaging, with negative and crude language.

People seem to conform to what they see and hear at home and work and school.

 

How do you take care of yourself?

Do you treat yourself as you want others to treat you?

Do you use crude language and behave in rude ways?

Do you notice and apologize for doing hurtful things to you?

 

Do you behave in ways that are kind and helpful?

Do you take good care of your things and your home?

Do you listen to your own needs and appreciate what you do?

Do you ask yourself what you want and make sure you follow through?

 

With others, are you thoughtful?

Do you ask permission, before you assume or take?

Do you say ‘Please' and ‘Thank you'?

Do you apologize, when you hurt someone’s feelings?

 

Whether in public or private, are you comfortable with your language and behavior?

Do you notice the expectations, when in another’s home or workplace?

Do you  do for others what you want them to do for you?

Do you practice exemplary ethics and etiquette?

 

People who are respectful pay attention to the mores and morals of those around them.

People give themselves the opportunity to be trusted by showing consistently healthy behavior.

We build trust in ourselves and in others, when we are respectful in our thinking, speaking and acting.

The outcome is more successful, healthy, harmonious and prosperous relationships.

 

I respect and trust myself, so I can relate with trust and respect with you.

Love works all the time.

Stop complaining about what is not yours.

Stop complaining about the petty stuff.

It will change your day and your life to simply express gratitude and praise.

Look for the good and say something good.

 

Begin to see your life with new forgiving eyes.

Forgiveness is the key to happiness.

“I enjoy doing what is helpful and beneficial!”

When you notice what you want……

Just do it with generosity and gratitude.

 

Let us add to the Good in our lives.

Let us enjoy all the Good we have.

Let us really seek and see what is Good.

Others can clean up their own messes.

Others will benefit from your appreciation.

 

Make appreciation a game.

Make thanksgiving a way of life.

Make what you want is to value everyday.

 

Loving you with gratitude and joy.

Reveal and Heal

Release and forgive what no longer has value.

Undo what is untrue and be good to you now.

BE HERE NOW.

THE PAST IS GONE.

Affirmations:

Life offers revelations of learning.

Explore the learning and discover your truth.

Practice your truth to see which way to go.

Healing reveals what you have learned.

Reveal and Heal

When we feel unsafe, we cannot tell.

When we feel judged, we are afraid.

When we tell lies, we hide from truth.

When we feel ashamed, we duck.

It is when we show that we can let go.

Hiding our truth makes us more vulnerable.

Blaming our past leaves us insecure.

We need to reveal in order to heal.

Find the safest person to share.

Ask that they forgive and erase.

Find the simplest process to write and release.

Wipe the slate clean by realizing the past is gone.

When we are free of fear, we can clear.

Listen to your own judgment and forgive.

We need not relive or review in order to learn.

We can undo what no longer is true.

Our work here is to clean the slate.

Never repeat what is not healthy and good.

Stop remembering what is not helpful to anyone.

You can finally release never to repeat.

Some see the past as haunting them.

Some believe you must remember to never repeat.

Some trust that what you hold onto is likely to be repeated.

Feel your energy, when you remember and when you forgive and forget.

Left over layers of waste sink to the bottom.

When they are stirred up, they come to the surface.

Filter them off and throw them away to be fertilizer another day.

If left to ferment and become toxic, they may pollute your life energy.

Reveal and let go.

Reveal and you’ll know.

Reveal and you will heal.

Celebrate your healing with courage and joy.

Trusting you in loving, respecting and honoring you.

Betty Lue

Letting go can be fun, safe and easy.

Learn to let go with love and gratitude.

Are You Aware?

If we want a better world for our children, we must begin with ourselves.

Teachers, parents, leader and adults are role models.

It is time to clean up our words, behaviors and lives.

TEACH OUR CHILDREN WELL.

DEMONSTRATE WHAT IS RIGHT AND GOOD.

Affirmations:

I am open and willing to know and respond with kindness.

I trust I can always do something to be truly helpful.

My awareness and attention will benefit others.

I choose to teach, model and inspire a better way to live.

Are We Aware?

Are we teaching our children well?

Do we know what they need to learn?

Is anyone listening to what is missing?

How do we show we really care?

If we are unaware, we do not know.

If we isolate ourselves, how can we help?

When we are in our own world, we may be unaware.

When we care, we show up, pay attention and teach the truth.

Every real interaction shows me what I need to know.

When I am aware, I seek to know what is needed to be taught.

As we listen with real caring, we begin to understand the needs.

When we stop assuming, we realize we must listen and respond.

It seems every day I am made aware of the needs even more.

I watch our next generations reach out with little response.

It seems adults may be too busy, too distracted or simply too overwhelmed to do what is needed.

Or maybe our world is too complicated with problems to know where to start and what to do?

I ask myself and invite you to ask yourself too.

What are we leaving for the next generations?

Are we not responsible for cleaning up the mistake we have made?

Are we the ones who need to set the example, forgive our mistakes and make amends?

Sex, drugs, violence……now in high school, middle school and grade school.

Who is paying attention to our children and those who “parent” them?

Are we helping our world to clear the mistakes, temptations and lack of education?

Is anyone aware of the problems under the problems which seem to be neglected?

When we don’t want to see, we close our eyes and simply assume it is “their” problem.

When we are too busy handling our own issues, we make up the kids will manage their own.

When we watch at a distance, we detach from those in our schools and neighborhoods needing help.

The problems are almost too shocking to see, hear and believe.

Our children and families belong to us.

Everyone is our responsibility.

What our children do and learn and experience comes from us.

We are influencers of what is their future.

Children copy what they see at home, on TV and internet, as well as from their peers.

Children and youth experiment with the language and behavior of the adults they see.

Our future generations watch what adults think and create, do and say and try it out.

We are watching what we need to correct and heal, forgive and help, and care.

Be aware and care.  

Trusting those who know a better way to step up and show up.

Love in action benefits us all.

Betty Lue

If we want a better world, it begins at home.

If we want a better world, we must create it right here and now.

We can each make the choice right where we are living & working.

Do the right thing for the right reason and the right outcome.
