When we are not living the best, we cannot give the best.
When we are living the best, we only give the best.
What we have, we give.
What we lack, we seek or complain about.
When we expect others to give us what we have denied ourselves, we are mistaken.
When we ask others to fill the cup we have emptied, we are in error.
When we ask God to give us what we have squandered, we feel guilty.
When we want to be the best, we must live the best we know.
So what is living our best?
Be loving, not fearful.
Be happy, not worried.
Give freely, not conditionally.
Forgive mistakes, not hold grudges.
Honor all people, not just special ones.
Seek Good in all things, not the problems.
Be grateful, not complaining.
Be creative, not destructive.
To focus on what you want is active and creative.
To focus on what you don’t want keeps you walking backwards.
To be negative in speech and countenance, attracts negativity and pain.
To be positive in words, thoughts and deeds attracts Goodness and Happiness.
When we wait for someone to provide health, happiness and fulfillment, we set ourselves up for failure.
When we wait for them to give us what we want to get, we set them up for obligation and guilt.
When we give ourselves health, happiness and fulfillment, we give ourselves the Best.
When we give ourselves health, happiness and gratitude, we create the Best in our relationships.
The more I love, trust and respect myself, the more I love, trust and respect others.
The more I love, trust and respect myself, the more others love, trust and respect me.
The more I love, trust and respect myself, the more others love trust and respect themselves.
The more I love, trust and respect myself, the more others love, trust and respect others.
So you see, it does begin with us giving ourselves the very best.
Developing new healthy habits may take a little time.
What is really required is that you be happy and willing to make the changes of attitude and action.
The Happy willing ones are changing the world for The Good of All, one person at a time.
Loving you in Loving!
