Always treat others as you want them to treat you.
If you want respect, give respect.
If you want sensitivity, be sensitive to the other.
If you want trust, be trusting and trustworthy.
When I want a better relationship, I always look to what I can improve within myself.
I never demand, threaten or try to correct or change the other.
I have learned that attempting to change someone other than myself, is perceived as an attack.
I am aware that even children feel hurt and may withdraw or resist when we make them wrong.
When I want a better or more respectful relationship, I begin by respecting myself.
The more I respect and trust myself, the more I trust and respect others.
The more I trust and respect myself, the more others trust and respect me.
The more I trust and respect myself, the more others trust and respect themselves.
I do no expect instant results.
I understand that others have their own past experiences and relationship expectations.
I have respect for the relationship process and trust in the healing within relationships.
I treat mistakes with instant forgiveness and a willingness to learn and be reminded gently.
Because I treat myself with gentleness and patience, I easily provide others with the same courtesy.
Because I know that everyone is doing the best they know, I give us all encouragement and kindness.
Because I believe relationships are the most important aspect of our being here, I respect their value.
Because I care, I listen and respond with love rather than ignore and react with fear or frustration.
Are you treating yourself fairly?
Do you give yourself the loving kindness and patience you deserve?
Are you willing to acknowledge and forgive your mistakes?
Do you trust your learning process and respect your choices?
Do you believe you do not know the best way for others?
Can you see you are still finding your own right path?
Are you willing to focus on living your highest and best?
Can you give up trying to intervene or interfere with others learning?
Some have experienced parental interference as love.
Some see saving others from mistakes is being helpful.
Some believe they have the right way to do things.
Some even think they are in charge of others lives.
Ask if what you are doing in your relationships is creating more harmony and peace.
Are you relationships beneficial to all?
Do you know how to forgive mistakes and return to love and respect?
Do you realize that hurt feelings come from the thoughts you hold in your own mind?
Time to respect all your relationships.
Be willing to look again.
When you look for Love, you will find that under it all, there is Love.
Be willing to express the Love, Open-Mindedness and Appreciation within.
Loving you and all of us as the One We Are,
Betty Lue
