I love this reminder and find it answers so many of the problems people experience everyday.
- Look within for the answers.
- Suspend all judgment, all guilt and blame.
- Stop what does not work.
- Listen within for what does work.
- Find peace and you will understand.....
- All things work together for Good!
Quick Fixes
In a fast moving world, we want quick fixes.
With limited time, we want short term gratification.
Driven by fear, pain and anger, we want fast relief.
With impatience being our primary moving force, we want it NOW!
Perhaps we are moving too fast for our own good.
Perhaps we are misguided by our emotions.
Perhaps we have succumbed to neediness.
Perhaps we are lost in the chaos of urgency.
We depend on someone or something else to handle the problems.
We rely on experts, food, alcohol or drugs. (prescription and otherwise)
We don’t know how to care for ourselves and our loved ones.
We fear the mistakes we have made and feel too bad to make amends.
We get so busy judging and looking for someone or something to blame, we get stuck.
We lose a sense of safety and trust in ourselves, our lives and our Source.
We get so caught up in defending and curing or fixing the situation, we lose perspective.
One might say we get so caught up in the fruit on the tree we no longer see the forest.
Is it possible we are breathing life into the coals and setting fire to our own house?
Whatever the situation, we need to find peace first.
Whatever the problem, we need to handle any urgency with the intended outcome in mind.
Whatever the issue, we need to recognize where we are (survey the situation) before planning our action.
Irrational behavior causes more complexity, chaos and trouble.
Wherever there is heat (emotion), let things cool down before you interact.
Too many people jump in and keep stirring before the situation as cooled.
Let things chill and congeal (come to rest) before you do or say anything more.
Before we can find understanding, we must come to peace and neutrality.
When we are emotional and reacting based on fear and defensiveness, we perceive what we believe.
When we care for ourselves without perceiving the interests of others, we are limited in our choices.
When we cannot see the big picture and believe we are victims, we feel powerless and defensive.
When the dust clears and the fears are forgiven, we can see things differently.
When we undo our negative reactions and see our highest intention, we can act with compassion.
When we let go of what does not work and experiment with what may work, we see possibilities.
When we release our reactive thinking and choose to be responsible, we trust our intention.
Let Go and Let Good happen.
Love it all: the people, the situation, the learning and healing, the future, the positive outcomes.
Love is what matters and the rest is just stuff.
Remember: Love is Freedom and Choice and Trust in the Highest Outcome!
Loving us all.
