ACCEPTANCE of Self

     Each month, I will be taking a particular virtue and break it down into small life lessons for you. Implementing these virtues into your life will have an amazing affect on you, your consciousness, your health, your spirituality. This first week, I will be blogging about acceptance. Acceptance is the action or process of being received as adequate or suitable. I’d like to go one step further and say that you have kind of...

Acceptance of Others

        This week in the Living the Virtues Series is Acceptance of Others. Last week I wrote about accepting yourself. If you would like to read that blog post, click here. I pulled the quote for this week from Thomas Merton: “Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.

At this point, you should be having a pretty good idea of how to implement the basic acceptance-type skills in your life; meaning that looking at others, life, self, and seeing it for what it is. There is a freedom that you get when you...

Forgiveness of Self

       Last month, I talked about the virtue of acceptance. I wrote on how to apply it to yourself, your life, others around you, and as a spiritual principle. The reason I am doing this is so that you can have this wisdom and instill it into your life, for the greater evolution of yourself.  This month I am looking at forgiveness. This, along with acceptance are two of the most important virtues to begin with if you want to...

Well, I don’t know about you all…

But I’ve reached my spilling over point.

The World is our school (all of ours)
We had a few bullies in the halls,
Their numbers are growing.
WE are afraid to leave our rooms.

How would we handle this if it were happing in our local High School?

What applies on a small scale, works on a large scale.

Consequences must occur, we are humans with egos… It’s in our nature. Without natural, logical consequences our egos...
