Taking Care of Others

It is futile and frustrating to try to fix, correct, or change others who have not asked for our help. This is a form of judgment or attack on them and they will resist, resent, be offended or hurt. They may withdraw, act out, blame you or feel defensive. It is always best to help only when requested. Be sure about exactly the kind of help being sought before you open your mouth or your pocketbook. We often jump to our own conclusions and step in where and when our help is not helpful.

Being truly helpful requires:
See the other person as whole and Holy.
Give only what is being asked for.
Give only if it it given with gratitude and love.
There must be no sacrifice in the giving. Martyrdom causes guilt.
Guilt perpetuates the pain and the problem.
Listen within to see the Highest and best Loving Reminder that is being called forth. Ask if you are unsure.
Your Love and your listening are enough.
If the other asks for advice or input, share.
When in doubt, give what you would want to receive.
Listen inside for your inner guidance.
Respond always with respect and compassion.
Never feel sorry or pity the other.
Never get angry for your over-giving.
If you find yourself over-extended, forgive yourself and take care of yourself first.

A drowning person cannot be saved by someone who is drowning.

Loving you and always receiving the Good that is freely given to All,

Being Present and Grateful

When we are not present and grateful for what is, when we are not clear and committed to a future of Goodness, we return to the past. When a horse is not contentedly grazing or is not directed toward a distant goal, it will often run back to the barn. We know the past and tend to return, no matter how painful or unrewarding, rather than set out for an unknown future.

Direct your mind to the Good that is your Divine right.
Direct your thoughts and actions toward your Highest vision.
Direct your words to affirm and promote what is Highest and Best for you.
Direct your attention to possibilities and opportunities and creative solutions.
Direct your resources to outcomes you desire rather than avoiding or defending against disasters and drama.

Setting inspired goals leads us to be possibility thinkers and committed doers.
Use your mind, your words and your body as tools for spirit.
Inspire yourself for living your Highest Potential. Set your course and then choose to move only in that direct.
If you find yourself being distracted, delayed and detoured by errant, thoughts, words or deeds, merely forgive your forgetfulness and choose again.

Seek first the Kingdom or God.
Seek first for what is Good and wholesome.
Seek first to move in the direction you seek.

Seeking the Highest for us all,



Life is For Giving....... You Are the Gift.
In giving yourself fully, you recognize the Gift You Are.

Difficult Situations & People

What do you need to remember in difficult situations with difficult people?

You are the most conscious One. It is up to you to choose the Best for all.

The cost of giving is receiving. Give what you would want to receive always, respect, understanding, acceptance, love, forgiveness peace, listening…whatever you would want.

Everyone is seeking Love, peace and joy. Underneath the negative habits of mind and speech, everyone want a good life. So when others have forgotten or are ignorant, it is yours to remind them be how you live, how you think and how you act.

Your are teaching with your thoughts as much as your words. Clear your negative or judgmental thoughts with forgiveness..an eraser filled with love. Make sure you are matching your behavior with your words and thoughts.

Life is forgiving and you are the gift. It is only in giving the Highest and Best that you recognize the gift of Love you are. When you give criticism, you define yourself as critic. When you give wisdom, you see yourself as wise. When you give understanding, you see yourself as caring. Give the gift you truly are.

When you have forgotten how to Love, stop, look inside and listen to your Spirit. Always give the best you know. And let go and trust.
