Apologies for the days when computers were offline up at our Reunion Lake House/Hermitage retreat.
When you make a mistake, forgive your self.
When you feel bad, change your thoughts.
When you feel confused and conflicted, quiet your mind.
When you feel cautious and afraid, think peaceful and loving thoughts.
Too often we seem to spend time, money and energy on making sense out of nonsense.
Too many times we stop and try to justify our mistaken perceptions and projections.
Too much energy is spent on explaining and understanding what is crazy and wrong.
Too many folks are teaching us to defend our thoughts, beliefs, words and behaviors at all cost.
When you think, speak or act in an unkind way, stop and choose again.
When you believe something negative, scary and just plain foolish, stop and choose again.
When you agree with folks who are delivering unloving angry messages, stop and think again.
When you live in a world of complex, diverse and voluminous thoughts, choose carefully your own.
When we defend our thoughts and feelings without consciousness, we will be mis-guided.
When we succumb to the ignorance of the world’s prejudices and hatred, we will feel afraid.
When we are distracted and detoured by other’s ideas, beliefs and stories, we will feel confused.
When we acting in ugly, angry and crazy ways, we need to change our minds.
Life on planet earth offers us the choice to sleep unaware drowning in foolish misinformation.
Or we can step outside the box of conformity and complacency and think for ourselves.
With the information age of technology and media, we can be easily brain-washed.
Or we can choose to listen within to our own voice and choose our own creative solutions.
It may seem easier to believe what others say and behave as others behave, but it leads nowhere.
It might seem comfortable to live defending again being wrong and never being happy.
But in the end, happiness is what we all seek ….to live in peace and feel safe in being Love.
So now is the opportunity to step up, in faith and good conscience, to live the Good life you desire.
Let’s admit when we don’t know.
Let’s seek a better way.
Let’s ask for help from those who live the higher Truth they know.
Let’s give our lives to think Good, speak Good, act Good and give Good.
We all know principles of a Good and happy Life.
1) Always give your best.
2) Speak well of others or don’t speak at all.
3) Take good care of yourself, your family, your home and your work.
4) Be respectful and responsible in all your relationships.
Don’t let yourself slip into the confusion and delusion of others’ unhappy and unhealthy ways.
Choose today for what is highest and best for you in everyway everyday.
Loving us all as we forgive our mistakes and choose again.
