Play Your Part!

Affirmations:
I choose to be my authentic self.
I live, love, work and play with my real self everyday.
I enjoy the way I am.
Life is a delightful kaleidoscope of color, sound, and play.

What Is Your Chosen Part to Play?

Everyday you play many parts.
You can choose the good and bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
You judge what is the best and worst of you.
You have parts you prefer and parts you dread.

Roles within your family are most familiar.
Nurturing or disciplining  parent…..?
Obedient or contrary child……?
Devoted or absent partner and friend……?

You may believe that the part is chosen and scripted for you.
You may have adopted what others convinced you to be.
You can believe them or choose for yourself.
How do you prefer to live and give and share?

Each day you put on a new attitude and costume.
Each morning you look at the new face of you.
Each encounter you choose to greet or ignore.
Each conversation is open and welcoming or grouchy and evasive.

How can you possibly ignore what you choose daily?
Why would you want to keep doing what is not right for you?
Why continue what is unhappy, unwelcome and untrue?
Stop wearing the same costume and try something new.

The trick is that you can change roles you play.
The treat is that you will find what is just right for you.
If at first the new is uncomfortable, try it for a day.
Or you can adjust it in your own unique way.

You may be surprised by how others respond to you.
You may inspire others to change their costumes too.
Your new attitude may change their mind about you.
Your different part you play may bring out the best in you.

Consider your own freedom of choice.
Experiment with what seems natural.
Let go of the false and be real for a day.
Enjoy being what feels just right for you.

Life can be like Halloween everyday of the year.
You may be tricked or treated depending on what others prefer.
Perhaps the way you really are is what is best for you.
Be yourself and enjoy feeling free.

Loving you as you truly are,
Betty Lue

Do not delude yourself and sugar coat what you really are.
Give your Self a chance to blossom, by washing away the mud and whitewash.

Get real and feel so you can heal what is mistaken.
Take time to ask and answer your own meaningful questions.
Look in the mirror and see who you really are, waiting for you be.
Make an effort to spend time loving, listening and respecting YOU.

Life is for giving the best of you.
You are the gift waiting to be received and given.
Light is within you so you can see what you are meant to be.

This is your time to rise and shine.
This the door you have been waiting for.

Trust what is waiting for you is good and beautiful and true.

This is your time to find the REAL YOU!

You Are A Flower in the Garden of Life

If you would grow to be your best self
Be patient, not demanding
Accepting, not condemning
Nurturing, not withholding
Self-marveling, not belittling
Gently guiding, not pushing & punishing

For you are more sensitive than you know
Mankind is tough as war
Yet delicate as flowers
We can endure agonies
But we open fully only to warmth & light
And our need to grow is fragile as a fragrance
Dispersed by storms of will
To return only when those storms are still

So accept, respect,
Attend your sensitivity

A flower
Cannot be opened
With a hammer

Trust

Affirmations:
I trust in the Good in us all.
I believe in our democracy of freedom and trust.
I forgive myself for doubt and fear which “inter-fears”.
I easily let go of what blocks my love, trust and freedom.

Trust Strengthens

Learn to trust.
Trust strengthens courage.
Trust inspires resilience.
Trust heals us.

In God We Trust.
We trust in Goodness.
In Love We Trust.
We trust in the Highest Possibility.

When we are mistaken, we learn.
When we are conflicted, we learn.
When we are lost, we learn.
When we are misled, we learn.

When we judge our mistakes, we may get stuck.
When we are ashamed, we may deceive ourselves.
When we feel guilty, we may blame others.
When we sit in judgments, we may not learn.

It is time to trust in our ability to learn from one another.
We can look at mistakes as opportunities to find a better way.
We can forgive our self-limiting judgments and open to new possibilities.
We can step away from arguing and listen thoughtfully and mindfully.

Being “right” often turns into “righteousness” and closed thinking.
When we are closed to seeing, hearing and learning more, we become ignorant.
When we are open to new information and others’ perspectives, we become wise.
Becoming defensive and even offensive is a sign of a fearful and judgmental mind.

Since we are all in this together, it is valuable to stand together, work together and join together.
We can do more when we are not in resistance to one another.
We can trust more when we listen to the joined goals and outcomes we seek.
We are never so different when we go to what we really want for one and all.

Learn to trust in the Highest Outcome.
Learn to listen for the joining and similarities.
Learn to be open to others thoughts and feelings.
Learn to care about one another with a kind heart and open mind.

When we trust in the essential Good in all, we will succeed.
When we value the freedom for everyone, we will listen to each other.
When we join hands and hearts in service of the Greater Good, life will we safe.
We can and will choose for what is right and true for us all.

Trusting me and you,
Betty Lue
