Shed Misconceptions

"To know yourself,  you must first sacrifice

the illusion that already you do."

Vironika Tugaleva

Our mishaps tend to stand out brighter than our finest moments.  We retain the one insensitive remark while compliments quickly float away.  We dwell upon a collapsed relationship, forgetting it takes two people to make one work.

It is our deliberate choice to pull out the negative when we could just as easily examine the positive.  We treat our lovely selves emotionally and physically worse than we would any one else.  Rather than changing focus through affirmations, we keep regurgitating tainted memories darkened over time.  

Set the tone by offering to be of service to others as the day unfolds.  Give thanksgiving for abundance ... food, shelter, health.  Recall the snippets of kindness both received and given.  To practice this each day highlights the positive and encourages thoughtful intentions.  Slowly shed misconceptions and begin to live in true light.
