Only God Can Make a Tree
What is your plan for making a good life for yourself? Do you have any idea what it takes to think well, live well and do well? Are you paying attention to what works for you and what doesn’t work? Do you have any idea of where to live, how to give and what makes you smile?
Are you giving yourself the time you need to be alone or maybe to be with others? Have you ever paid attention to how your body responds to the fuel you put into it? Are you sensitive to the effect of chemicals and fragrances and detergents and medicines? Do you even care about what you read or the TV you watch or the songs you sing?
My grandma said, “You wouldn’t put a pile of manure in front of your living room picture window’ Do you spend your life watching bad news and listening to the garbage or do you plant flowers? Can you cultivate better manners and health and associations by hanging out where they don’t exist? Let us stop and look at bringing forth Goodness and Mercy, Peace and Happiness in our own lives.
This is a special day…..Everyday can be special for you. Every moment can change the course of our destiny….Let’s make it now! Every relationship can teach us to heal and reveal our true path to happiness…Use every relationship. And yes, you are chooser or else you allow the people, places, weather, and finances to choose for you!
The Way to grow the garden of your soul, the Spiritual Tree within is to being by giving your Good. Give yourself the good you deserve and relinquish the rest. Surrender guilt and resentment. Give up worry and complaints. Undo the limiting beliefs of “ you are not worthy and not enough.” Stick with the environment and people who support and respect you. Let go of everything that is not wholly good for you and let it be.
Can you begin to see that what you take in, is what you receive? It is your choice to live in Love, giving and receiving only loving kindness and respectful appreciation. It is your choice to give voice to only that which is affirming, not negating the Good that grows in you. It is your choice to ingest the best and forget the rest!
Why wait to plant and cultivate beauty and goodness, health and happiness in you. You are a blessing and a gift only when you reveal the gift you are to you yourself. Take care and dare to be blessed by the life you can choose for yourself today in every way. Be willing to love the one you are this day and everyday with only the best you know.
No leftovers. No hangovers. No unhealed wounds. No regrets and guilt. No unforgiven relationships. No history of mistakes made. No laundry list of unclean thoughts. No useless stuff collecting dust and sucking energy. No association with bad manner and neglectful addictions. It is time to give you the Best, the very Best you know beginning today.
When the Sun shines and the moon rises, you will see the halo of light around the One you are.
Loving us all as One, Betty Lue
Hope you are using your whole life always and only for your Good. Rules For Being Human (from an old Ann Landers syndicated newspaper column) You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for as long as you live. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make an enormous difference in the quality of your life. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time school called Life. Each day, you will be presented with opportunities to learn what you need to know. The lessons presented are often completely different from those you THINK you need. There are no mistakes—only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation. You can learn as much from failure as you can from success. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it (as evidenced by a change in your attitude and behavior), then you can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There is no stage of life that does not contain some lessons. As long as you live, there will be something more to learn. “There” is no better than “here”. When your “there” has become a “here”, you will obtain another “there” that will again look better than your “here”. Don’t be fooled by believing that the unattainable is better than what you have. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. When tempted to criticize others, ask yourself why you feel so strongly. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. Remember that through desire, goal-setting and unflagging effort, you can have anything you want. Persistence is the key to success. The answers lie within you. The solutions to all of life’s problems lie within your grasp. All you need to do is ask, look, listen and trust. You will forget all this. Unless you consistently stay focused on the goals you have set for yourself, everything you’ve just read won’t mean a thing.
