  • Comfort of excellence

    Comfort #16 – Comfort of excellence.

    I am grateful for a sense of excellence which entered my life at an early age.

    I learned how to practice music in a methodical manner.

    It laid the foundation for the muscle movements to play an instrument.

    This discipline created the power to play fluently.

    I have been able to apply these principles to anything I want to learn.

    Consistent, rigorous study is the key to excellence.

    Practice.

    Whether I was memorizing math formulas or dates in history, I used the principles of repetition.

    When I began learning technology, an area completely unfamiliar to me, I read and watched and learned the new vocabulary through repetition.

    Finally, I was able to trust myself to take a tiny step.

    I appreciate the practice to become fluent.

    I realize the necessity and value of doing the work carefully.

    I do not have to go back to make so many corrections.

    I can live and work at an uplifting level.

    I am not dragged down by neglect of details.

    I know that I will put the effort together to be excellent.

    It is part of my character.

    Excellence flows and shows up in my life and activities.

    It is a constant practice of refining and strengthening.

    A habit of excellence allows me to focus and concentrate my efforts.

    I always know I will do my best work.

    I am dependable and trustworthy.

    I attract the help and resources that I need in order to be excellent.

    I follow through on the work in every detail.

    I am grateful for the comfort and practice of excellence.

    I am in the best of all worlds.

    What I bring with me, I can express into the world.

    What the world surrounds me with, I can bring into my heart.

  • This feeling moves outward and embraces everyone one we know and every one we don’t even know all over the planet.

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.27 (3/17)
    The Highest Motives

    The highest and best power in the world is the power we have to hold one another in high esteem.

    This causes us to act in the ways that most uplift ourselves and those around us.

    This feeling moves outward and embraces everyone one we know and every one we don’t even know all over the planet.

    It is time to begin to consider the great gift of compassion we all have to share.

    Despite the narrow view we are presented through our leadership, we can maintain the best view, that of valuing and caring for one another.

    It is powerful to consider our deep convictions.

    When someone or some organization doesn’t live up to what we can conceive as a higher and better way to live, we can remind ourselves of the value of our viewpoint.

    Put all your thought-weight into the right side of the equation.

    Acknowledge its’ goodness, its’ perfection.

    Acknowledge your ability to see how good and how uplifting your viewpoint is in this matter.

    Don’t even argue with the present realities or how they came to be.

    Feel the presence of solutions that are wonderful for everyone who lives on the planet.

    These are our neighbors.

    What business do any of us have to be fighting over the old resources when we have so many more to offer through our uplifted cooperation?

    We are not separate.  We are all One.  And our welfare is in our own hands.
