giving and forgiving.
They are my

inside?

My question for myself is always, “What is the highest
Truth here?”
I stop and
listen within to what I already know.
If I am
unsure, I go to the highest teachers and most inspiring books.
When I get
the answers, I know because it resonates and brings peace to my heart.
Ask yourself what kind of life you really want.
Take time
to WRITE out your heartfelt responses.
To
accomplish what you see, practice one at a time.
Savor the
self-appreciation and you will see how one leads to more achievements.
You are the One you must learn to admire, trust, respect
and Love.
You are the
one you are here to listen to and serve well.
You can be
all you are meant to be by living on purpose.
You can be
content with yourself today and everyday.
I am always Loving and believing in YOU!

Based on the answers above, develop a short paragraph
outlining your purpose. Take the three top priorities from the four areas to
which you just committed answers. Construct a statement that explains what you
are beginning to sense in your purpose. This can be a work in progress. What is
important is to commit to something in writing. Your purpose can be anything
you want it to be and it can include anything that is important to you.
