Perceiving an uplifting household

Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

Looking at the present conditions of my household, I can feel good or I can feel despair.

First of all, I have a household.

It is composed of the people in it and their skills.

Second of all, we have the privilege of being in a place.

The place may be wonderful or it may be sad.

It may be full of interesting stuff or it may be empty of all but the most basic needs.

I can choose a new way of perceiving my household.

What are my assets?

In my first deep breath to consider my assets, I slow down.

I can move myself into a state of peace by looking within.

Within is my connection to the Infinite.

I listen quietly.

I sit patiently, listening.

I feel a sense of peace begin to replace despair.

I feel a sense of peace to replace overwhelm.

I begin to perceive things a bit differently.

Where I am, I can perceive peace.

With peace comes clarity.

What do I want most of all?

I listen within to hear the answer.

I do not trust my own opinions and circumstances to give me this important answer.

What I want most of all is peace.

I want assurance.

I want beautiful surroundings.

In the listening, I receive an answer.

I take my first tiny step.

This is how I perceive my new uplifting household, tiny step by tiny step.
