When you
complain, what good does it do?
When you
judge, how does it help or hurt?
When you
get angry, how does that change anything?
When you
are hurt, who is calling for attention?
Life
offers continuous opportunities to choose reaction or response.
Life gives
us challenges to handle, experience to learn from and hopefully wisdom to guide
us.
When we are
fully living, we learn from everything because we gather clarity and wisdom.
When we are
fearful, contracted, defensive and avoidant, we often become more insecure and
separate.
Let’s
observe what really is, without the overlay of our emotional projection and
distortion.
Let’s
listen to the inner loving responses and the outer fearful reactions.
Let’s
gather information, support and encouragement to do and say what is best for
all.
Let’s
forgive our ignorance and errors and respect and appreciation for choosing
again.
Life can
feel overwhelming with too many challenges or boring with no drama or urgency.
Life can
offer infinite choices or sometimes only one direction seems evident.
Life may
feel like it is all for self study with no aids or full to teachers and
teachings to consider.
How and
what and where we choose to discern what is true for us determines the path we
take.
When
life offers problems, it is ours to gather information, seek healing or
ask others to handle.
When life
shows us our gifts, talents and resources, they are ours to use to contribute
and share.
When life
keeps repeating or “haunting” us with the same concern, it is ours to seek
resolution.
When life
gives us people and places to serve and be truly helpful, it is ours to give
with ease.
Life is
meant to be fun, safe and easy for those who listen within.
Life is an
adventure of challenges for those who want to learn and grow.
Life can be
healing services to offer for those what are called to comfort and care.
Life can be
trial and tribulation for those who resist options and fear change.
What
can you do to change the world you see?
What can
you do to being peace for those who are in conflict?
What can
you to provide for those in need?
What can
you do to help yourself today?
We can
try to clean up our neighborhood, or workplace, our own family..
We can
complain and judge what is wrong with everyone.
We can
expect and blame others for not doing their job.
Or we can
take care of our own home, our own attitude, our own life.
Let us
begin within.
Let us
choose to handle out own dirty laundry.
Let us
clear our mistakes and make amends for unmet agreements.
Let us pay
our own debts and handle our own lives well.
When we
live impeccably with all areas resolved with gratitude and love, then we can
help with integrity.
When we
learn from everyone and everything how to do our own lives better, we are
shining examples.
When we
trust that our happiness and peace and whole life health is our gift, we see
things differenctly.
Life
is for giving and we are the gift.
Let
us give the gift we are freely and fully and trust this is enough.
Loving
you for all you do to live your life well.
Blessing
you,
Betty Lue
Healing Relationships
You are responsible for your own happiness and inner peace.
Where we are upset (angry, hurt, afraid, judgmental), our
past wounds (unhealed stuff) has been triggered. This shows us
where we have work to do.
The usual relationship habit is to try to “fix” the other
person, to get them to change or stop saying or doing what has upset us. This
makes the other feel “wrong” and guilty and hurt and angry and inadequate. This
only exaggerates the problem.
It is ineffective over the long term.
The real work is to heal our own woundedness, to clear our
own buttons and heal our history and forgive allowing anything or anyone to
hurt us. When we have done our work, we can be truly effective,
helpful and teach by example.
This is a big job.
It cannot be done overnight, but takes constant practice.
We must first take good care of ourselves mentally,
physically, and spiritually.
Being conscious and taking impeccable care of ourselves is
essential to quality relationships.
Begin now with learning to love, respect, trust and
appreciate yourself.
The more you love, trust, respect and appreciate yourself,
the more others will love, trust, respect and appreciate
you.
The more you love, respect, trust and appreciate yourself,
the more others will do the same for themselves and
for others.
You are the living example, the
teacher, with everything you think, say and do.
