Abraham – from the Bible
Abraham, from the Bible, approached his day differently. Every time he met with aggression, every time he met with people that sought to do him harm. every time he ran up against a wall, he would say:
“I accept this situation for what it is, and instead of letting it victimize me, i will transform it into something positive”.
Excerpt from Karen Berg: Daily Consciousness:Finding Spirituality
Maybe we could do the same thing.
Try it.

Questions
Here are a few questions for you to think about. Questions help you grow and at the very least examine why you make certain choices.
What if I had the opportunity to begin _______ again?
What if I started ending what I did not need anymore?
What if I told the truth to myself and others for a day?
What fear hold me back?
What choices can I change to bring more peace in my life?
Why am I resisting changing what I know has to be change?
Am I making decisions based on outdated beliefs?
Asking questions can be enlightening and uncomfortable but worth the effort. Take your time and write your answers down.
You may be surprised by your perspective.

The Power of the Dog by Rudyard Kipling
The Power of the Dog
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie–
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find–it’s your own affair–
But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone–wherever it goes–for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long–
So why in–Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Thoughtful Thursdays #54 Questions
I like questions.
Questions are an important part of relationships both with yourself and with others.
Here are some of my favorite questions.
What is in your heart?
What do you feel?
What makes you happy?
What makes you sad?
Would you want a super power? If so, what would it be?
What makes you really angry?
Are you willing to be talk about your feelings?
Are you willing to change one thing that you are unhappy with?
Do you love deeply?
Do you express that feeling of deep love in some way?
Do you believe that things work out for the best?
Or do you believe you must push for what you want?
If you had no limitations, what are some of the things you would try?
What are you afraid of?
If you knew a statement was incorrect would you add some input or keep your mouth shut?
Is there something you need to let go of?
What do you resist?
What age do you feel?
What is your favorite academic subject?
How judgmental are you?
Do you accept others as they are?
Which values are important to you? E.g. kindness, truthfulness, etc.
I could go on but this is enough to get you thinking and perhaps asking others.
Have fun learning because that’s what life is about. Learning how the minds, bodies and spirits work.
The more you know about yourself the more you know about others, which makes for a happier and more content life.
Ask tons of questions because they are the starting point of change in a positive direction.

Truth
The truth hurts,
The truth heals.
I read that somewhere and it brought to mind how I would much rather be hurt by the truth than hurt by a lie.
When you know the truth you can move on. Lies only keep an untruth alive and the truth comes out anyway.
Please tell me the truth. I can handle it.

Withholding Information
What people don’t say is just as important as what they do say.
g.piazza
When someone is not willing to be transparent in a relationship it can make my mind race with what might be. I come to all kinds of apocalypse meanings of the situation.
Actually I need to mind my own business because what I need to know is eventually revealed.
I trust myself enough to listen to my hunches. Have patience. Everything I want is coming in it’s right time.

You are the Creator
You are the creator of your own life experience, and as the creator of your experience, it is important to understand that it is not by virtue of your action, not by virtue of your doing—it is not even by virtue of what you are saying—that you are creating. You are creating by virtue of the thought that you are offering.
You cannot speak or offer action without thought-vibration occurring at the same time; however, you are often offering a thought-vibration without offering words or action. Children or babies learn to mimic the vibration of the adults who surround them long before they learn to mimic their words.
—Abraham
