Quotation of the Day

"Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not."       Oprah Winfrey
 
 
When I am in turmoil about anything in life this often tends to be the source.  That what I desire is in conflict with the right thing to do.  As my mind ponders options really it is simply a serious of thoughts generated to justify what I desire which typically is in contradiction the right thing to do.  I am happy to say as time goes by I more often resolve doing the right thing.  I pray for the day that doing the right thing simply becomes my default action.

Quotation of the Day

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.         - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
I cannot beleived I found this quotation after the one I sent yesterday so I had to share it as well.  I know I am the project the "project" I am to be working on.  But to keep in mind that at the same time I may possibly promote and inspire others to become more than what they may see themselves to be at a given moment inspires me.  Knowing my weaknesses sometimes overwhelmes my thoughts diminishing my feel of self worth; if I could inspire someone else to feel and know their wonder and divinity when their negative thoughts make them unworhty, I an confident that we both will be lifted.

Quotation of the Day


"He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others."        William Hazlitt
 
 
As a child growing up my Mom use to say "if you don't like yourself, no one else will".  I know this, somewhere deep inside me I KNOW this is true.  And I know I like many things about  myself.  However, I must admit that consciously I have thoughts that continue to thwart this belief with doubt and fear.  How does this contradiction exist?  This baffles me.  That in some regard I have confidence and know I am a good person with significant love for others and a strong desire to serve.  But, in the very same space in my mind co-exists the doubt I deserve to have things I desire life. 
 
Each day my intent is to focus on positive aspects in all parts of life.  After a few years of this practice I see a change to the positive of settling this in congruent co-existence in my mind.  But as usual, I am work in progress. 
 
Now, as I see how others treat me, this can be a measure for me of my own thoughts and feelings of myself what I am projecting and allow this to guide me to where I can work on myself to win this battle. 
 
Any thought you'd like to share?
 
Love you all,
Jacky
