Truthfulness, Selflessness and Humility ...

Letting what goes on around us to pattern our behaviour is a violation of our sense of self.  Granted, we are by nature Social Beings, with a need to love and be loved.  First and foremost, however, we are highly individual, blessed with personal traits ours alone to treasure, to develop and to share with others.

Daily interaction with others is made easy when our thoughts, our speech and our behaviour reflect our true inner values; values freed from the nemesis of materialism.  Such values have only to be revealed, ever there to be taken up and used.  They have their genesis in Truthfulness, Selflessness and Humility, character traits which exalt our very soul.

“Daily interaction with others… reflect our true inner values … “

Week two of my friend’s spiritual journey of conscious transformation
Yesterday’s visit was centered on knowing her true inner values.  Her thoughts, interactions, and behaviour need to reflect these core beliefs.   As a result, she will be letting two friends know that money isn’t available for her to go on their annual holiday.  Already she feels empowered by following one of her true inner values.  blw

"Please pass a thumbs up to your friend. It's very hard to learn to do what pleases oneself rather than what pleases others."

"I'm learning that loving myself enough to let go of anger and hurt, brings what I need and strive for the most -- inner peace."
