Good morning, family....
At the start of another week,
let me be aware...that
Goodness, strength, and inspiration
are not specific to honored institutions,
authoritative books, powerful figures,
or hallowed halls.
Blessings and courage can be found on
the sticky-stained floors of public
restrooms, in the midst of a jeering
mob of doubters, and in those dark
moments of deepest heartbreak and fear.
Truth and light are in everything at
every time...everywhere. If I drown
out the distraction of circumstance
and fatalistic emotions, if I step outside
my dramatizing hyper-sensitivity....I can
find a center that is at peace.
I hope that we could all carry that
understanding with us today.
Peace,
Robert
* Establishing boundaries doesn't involve
bashing others.
* Be kind. To yourself and others.
* There's no need to 'lose your mind' and
walk away over one thing.
* Don't throw the baby out with the
bath water.
* Remember that there were reasons you
grew to love someone.
* Don't dwell entirely on negatives; don't
ignore real issues, either.
* Take the good with the bad.
* Cease fighting; let it be. I don't have to
own or internalize conflict.
* A resentment only has the power over me
I choose to allow it to.
* Don't respond in anger; nothing good comes
from it.
* Hold a volatile reaction in check; count to 10
or walk away.
* Resist the urge to say EVERYthing you feel;
overly gushing or overly critical.
* It isn't a requirement that I understand
anything.
* It isn't a requirement that I make anyone
understand anything.
* Be less sensitive. There's more to the world
than how I feel about something.
* It's just another person's opinion, It doesn't
control me in any way.
* I am in charge of my life; how I feel, how I
respond, whom I interact with.
