Do You Live What You Believe?

At our Lake House Retreat for our Spiritual Leadership Facilitation Weekend Program

Life is an experimental playground where we can explore what we believe and how we live.
Life in a body gives us an opportunity to observe the interplay of thoughts, feelings and actions.
Life on the earth allows us to join for creation and fulfillment or destruction and oppression.
Living with fear as our guidance system creates contraction and Love as Guide is Unlimited.

What we believe determines much of what we think and say and do and relate and create.
Our unconscious habits of mind and body, head and heart, often determine our experiences.
If we were fully aware at all times, we could learn quickly to eliminate pain and suffering.
If we were willing to be fully responsible, we would choose what works and let go of what doesn’t.

Some say only a mere 5% of our brain is used for conscious choice and the rest goes unnoticed.
To be more conscious, we must become aware of what is limiting, unforgiven and harmful.
To release what has been believed and taught and demonstrated throughout written history is daunting.
Now it is the most obvious necessity for the peace, prosperity and perhaps survival of the planet.

Take some time to reflect on what it is that you believe wholeheartedly.
Look for how you think and speak and act toward yourself and all that is.
Ask yourself where you might be out of integrity in what you eat, how you work and relate.
Easily forgive your unconsciousness and choose again and yet again.

The undoing of unconscious habits of mind requires practice in letting go with ease and gratitude.
The undoing of everything that is not True for you is a gift to you and to all of us.
The grand undoing of hatred and fear, regret and guilt, resentment and blame releases Love.
Love is the Source and ReSource from which come healing and creativity, Goodness and Grace.

If what you have believed and lived is unfair, unkind, unwise and unloving, it is time for a change.
If what you have lived is hurtful and destructive, limiting and belittling, it is time for release.
If what you have taught and experienced separates and generates fear, it is time for forgiveness.
If what you model and demonstrate is inability and laziness, greed and neediness, it is time for healing.

Yes, only you know what is true for you.
Only you can identify where you are living off purpose and out of integrity.
Only you can generate a different reality by choosing again for what you want to believe and live.
It is we ourselves that create a life of inspiration and Power, creativity and Peace, Love and Joy.

Let us live a life of faith and freedom from fear.
Let us give with a heart that is generous and true.
Let us love with forgiveness of all mistakes and choose again for trust.
Let us be the ones who make the difference everyday with everyone.

Never quit on Love!
“The only mistake we ever make is when we forget to Love.”
Betty Lue

Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
