What you believe, you make true for you.
The mind sees what it believes.
You choose evidence to prove that you are RIGHT.
Your mind seeks to deny or eliminate anything that does not fit with what it believes.
People choose attorneys, doctors, teachers, scientists who confirm their beliefs.
People avoid listening to or make wrong anyone who disagrees with their position.
People choose to make themselves right collecting evidence that they are correct.
People often would rather be “right” than be happy.
A profound pieces of wisdom I was given years ago was: “Hold no position!”
I learned that stating my “opinion” once clearly and honestly and then letting it go gave me the best opportunity to listen and learn, to consider and understand, to forgive and respect the other.
I learned through experimenting it was a tool that would allow me to be an effective parent, partner, coach, consultant, student, teacher and valued friend.
I discovered it was a key ingredient to helping others be more open and willing to listen and learn.
Most of all, I experienced it allowed me to be consistently happy and at peace.
Fighting for what we believe is often taught and esteemed.
Being willing to relinquish or damage relationships for our beliefs seems ineffective to me.
I have learned that the best way to heal and help, learn and grow, create peace and harmony, is to be open.
I have discovered that the most flexible, willing and understanding beings are the best change agents.
FEAR= False Evidence Appearing Real.
What we believe, we see or we create or we attract or we make right and true for everyone.
It is difficult for the mind to understand that our thoughts create.
It is fearful for people to take responsibility for their thoughts, their creations and their experiences.
One way to undo what we do not want to be true is to change our beliefs.
We can use forgiveness to erase the errors in our mind.
We can use affirmations to clear out the old and open to the new.
We can use denials to convince our minds that what we formerly believed is no longer valid.
Ask yourself if your beliefs are best for you and those around you.
Question whether your thoughts are creating what you want to be true.
Explore the possibility that you may have created from fear rather than from love.
Encourage yourself to change your mind to find and create more happy and peaceful experiences.
Healing comes from changing our mind to thoughts of peace and goodness.
Helping comes from being willing to serve only what is good for everyone.
Service comes from giving to what is Loving and best for everyone.
Peace comes from being willing always and only to create with loving thoughts.
Use the magic of your mind today to blow the clouds of fear and doubt away.
Today you can and will choose what is good for you and all concerned.
In doing this with your mind, you will create a world that is good for all.
Loving you in seeking only what is highest and best for everyone.

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.
