One way you can to begin to live the core value of peace and kindness to all is to begin with yourself, specifically, by noticing your internal dialogue. How do you speak to yourself? Do you berate, judge or ridicule yourself? In truth, how you speak to yourself is either an act of self-care or an act of hostility.
Speaking unkindly in this way sets us up to carry it forward by speaking carelessly to others. We perpetuate our inner hurt out into the world and others then suffer. Today, begin to speak to yourself as kindly as you would your own precious child. ©2024, Janice L. Lundy Each of us is exactly where we are supposed to be right now, in a growth pattern that is uniquely our own, on a path that is ours and ours alone.
We cannot compare our spiritual growth to anyone else's. Each is unique, fashioned with sacred purpose. ©Janice L. Lundy, 2024 |
Gentle and timely reminders for the spiritual journey, because sometimes we forget or need a kind nudge back to Center.
