Many people have a mental image of themselves as a poor soul tossed like a dry leaf in the malevolent winds of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Struggling and straining to get power isn’t necessary. We already have it, built in, more than we can possibly imagine. Relax. All we need do is remove some obstacles so the power within us can come forth. Movies were made about a school community in Canada, one of hundreds of rehab centers for young people in the delinquent and drug scenes. They have or had an unheard of success rate of 90%. Their secret: They tell/told these street kids they’re “Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” With some necessary controls at first, they treated them as if this were so. After awhile those kids came to believe it, to act the part, then to convince the newcomers that it’s true of them as well. Magic! We too are “Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” Then why is the world, many individual lives, families and partnerships, in such turmoil? There is one law to remember. Not many…just one. It’s that sooner or later the choices that we make in thought and deed determine what happens in our life. We can choose to tell ourselves every day, “I am Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” Mentally repeat it, believe it, then step up to the plate with it through our actions. It’s magic! And through thoughts, actions and words, convey to our significant other, our children, our relatives and friends, that they are Upright, Beautiful and Perfect as well. I’m not suggesting that we stick our heads into the sand, ignoring poor behavior in others. However, with some practice we can bring the good in others and in ourselves into sharper focus and soften the focus on the faults. It’s magic. “I am Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” “You are Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” “We are Upright, Beautiful and Perfect. ”Mentally repeat it, believe it, finally step up to the plate with it through our actions. Then sit back, relax, and watch the magic happen! Thank you for being Upright, Beautiful and Perfect” and for allowing me into your life in this way. |
