Growth
When there is growth, changes are automatic, if I fear change, how can there be growth?

Resent Not
There are no justified resentments. To resent someone is to fall under the illusion that they are the cause of our suffering. No one can die from a snake bite. It's the poison that kills them. You may receive the poison of another's words, or even just in a glance, but you don't have to absorb it or allow it free passage through the veins of your consciousness. The consequence of not absorbing the poison of others is you never experience enmity towards others. And people notice when you have absolutely no enmity. It draws them close, it empowers them, it builds trust, it enables harmony to break out! It is only because the lion has no thought of killing the lamb that the lamb feels able to come so close.

[color:"brown"]Integrity[/color]
When the thoughts we think are the same as the words we speak, others will feel our integrity.

When I start the day with a moment of solitude and contemplation, even the most crowded schedule runs more smoothly.

[color:"purple"]Character[/color]
To stay happy in every situation remember what has helped you, what has made life worthwhile. Forget the old, the things of no value, and what has stolen your dreams. You grow and progress in life thanks to what motivates and inspires you. You get depressed through remembering your weaknesses and mistakes.

To see a person's specialities rather than their weaknesses is an act of co-operation.

[color:"cerise"]See Significance[/color]
“Amazing as it may seem, every event, every scene has some significance. Nothing is without meaning. Life is like a book - each day a new page, each interaction a new paragraph. We read books to learn, so we may grow and become more complete and more effective as we play this game called life. Can you read the book of your life, can you study the scenes of your day, in such a way that you may learn and grow? To get started, take time out to reflect, review and realise something new at least once a day - more often if you can. What was really going on there? What was I feeling at the time? Why? If you do this retrospective processing, eventually you will be able to read each scene with great clarity as it happens. That's when the reader becomes the writer, and life becomes truly a creative adventure, where we are able to see and appreciate the significance and meaning within every scene, and know exactly how to respond.”

To create the future we desire we need a spiritual language; we must speak from the heart and in the language of the soul - a language of trust, faith and higher values, of inner growth, love and listening.
