    Pebbles of Peace –

    Gentle Listening

    Sometimes, I find myself turning to listen within out of frustration.

    As I calm myself, I am able to feel the presence of guidance and comfort.

    I do not want my opinions to be part of my listening experience.

    I need the comforting, pure guidance of the Divine.

    As I take on a more gentle attitude toward myself, I am ready to listen.

    My ability to let go of my self-imposed limitations creates a ready atmosphere.

    I  breathe deeply.

    I am ready to listen.

    The letting go of opinions constitutes humility.

    There is a greater Power at work when I am ready to listen.

    I am grateful to discover the power of gentleness.

    The Divine patiently persists in teaching me.

    I can only do my best work through gentleness.

    I learn by being prompted over and over again.

    I learn to share this way.

    I learn all the skills I have ever learned this way.

    The persistent presence of Guidance is what teaches me.

    I still my restless thought.

    I take the tiny steps over and over again.

    I gently and powerfully build my new foundation.

    When each layer is ready, I can see my new structure.

    It is  not visible until every detail is correct.

    Then it is useful.

    The  humility to listen over and over again is what builds ny new structure.

    Listening, and taking the tiny steps.

  • Prestige in the world

    Shared Global Vision –

    Prestige in the world

    The world sees you as you are.

    When you have many gifts to share with the world, you command respect.

    Your influence is accepted.

    You add your prestige to the world.

    The kinds of gifts you can share are your deep sense of order and peace.

    In a time where everything looks confused and chaotic, your influence is felt.

    It is a strong contrast.

    Your ability to lead and to infuse a sense of upliftment is vital.

    People in an uplifted state are able to think clearly and to take effective, gentle steps.

    As we create an uplifted state for ourselves, we attract those of like-mind.

    We are able to be generous with this view, because it is the basis for our life.

    Even if you are in despair about the world, it is possible to admire those who have taken action to improve it.

    Children who become concerned about water in Africa have been able to raise money for wells.

    Children who have a sense of compassion for  people living on the street are able to convince others to provide “care bags”.

    Their sense of compassion and innocence and trust attracts those who can help fulfill those needs.

    Others who feel strongly fulfill their mission to uplift and lead in some way.

    We owe it to ourselves to improve our own life by listening with and taking our tiny steps of action.

    This prepares us to encourage others who are ready to begin their own journeys.

    I am grateful for the authors and workshop leaders who have encouraged me.

    I am in a new place and a new life because of the action I was motivated to take.

    The influence I have received from prestigious leaders continues to inspire me.

    As I embody uplifting teachings, I am able to share prestige with the world.

  • Upholding prestige

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    Upholding prestige

    Living in a household where you are respected is a gift you can give yourself.

    As you organize what needs to be done into routines, everyone takes part to contribute to living well.

    You are giving yourself room for clear thinking and acting.

    The normal everyday chores run themselves,  while you plan the special occasions and deal with emergencies.

    This is not easy work.

    It requires that you nurture yourself first in order to deal with the many demands of running a successful household.

    It seems like society is structured in a way which makes it almost impossible to do this.

    Listen deeply within and organize on the outside.

    You can uphold the prestige of your household as you do this.

    You command respect for your order and love.

    You provide for special occasions.

    You have resources for emergencies.

    Your household knows they can depend on you.

    They are used to upholding their duties.

    This gives you the room to plan ahead and gather resources.

    You become a community leader by your thoughtfulness and consideration.

    Getting your own household in order gifts you with this freedom.

    People trust your influence.

    They are willing to follow where you lead.

    Your household benefits from this prestige.

    You are seen in a different light.

    Your demonstrated ideas earn respect and others are willing to emulate what you do.

    You are able to give more by being rested and respected.

    Your ability to come through in difficult or demanding situations gives you prestige.

    You are beloved.

    You are respected.

    Your connection gives others a better life.

    Prestigious ideas come from listening within.

    We all have a connection to the  Infinite when we listen within.

    How we accept Guidance and take action, determines the success of the ideas we receive.

    Every idea which commands respect comes from the idea of the Universe’s care.

    This care is for everyone.

    No one is excluded.

    We are all treasured individuals living in a Universe of ideas.

    When we are willing to consider the idea of well-being for all, we receive ideas which address this topic.

    When we are willing to take the tiny steps which put the ideas into action, we are living a prestigious life.

    Our follow-through improves the lives of many.

    We are able to live better because we are open to the idea of better lives for all.

    We move ourselves into a state of receptivity when we open to the direction of the Infinite.

    Our life is uplifted and expanded.

    Our overflow generously gives support and encouragement where it is most needed.

  • My prestigious life

    Pebbles of Peace –

    My prestigious life

    I am grateful to live the kind of life which is uplifting to others.

    I say this because it is the way I recognize how my life has progressed.

    From what felt like insurmountable emotional challenges, I have been able to find peace.

    I have learned to treasure each tiny step toward peace.

    By moving inward, I have left the opinions of myself and others behind.

    I have been able to enter the great heart of the  Divine.

    I have discovered the Universe Who Loves Me.

    Since it is an infinite Universe, It loves you, too.

    The prestige of peace is that it is an elevated state which does not take into consideration anything outside of itself.

    Prestige is the art of maintaining an excellent standard, one which others look up to.

    It is obtainable by anyone who desires it.

    This desire must be put into action by taking all the tiny steps to create consistent excellence.

    Once you discover this secret and take your first tiny step, you are on your way.

    Each time this happens, it is uncomfortable to leave any detail undone.

    I cannot rest until I figure out a solution to whatever is bothering me.

    I will find it, because I crave excellence.

    I crave peace of mind.

    I insist on surrounding myself with the high standards which I practice. 

    Finding the complete solution may take years.

    It is part of the practice of a prestigious life.

    It is a commitment to a high standard of living, one which helps create well-being for everyone.

    For me, discovering the art of inner listening proves that prestige is available to anyone.

    It is not exclusive, only very wonderful.

    When you can create on a consistent level of imagination and excellence, you have a prestigious life.

  • Discovering Peace for Today

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.1 –

    Discovering Peace for Today

    Focusing on what is important gives me peace.

    Discovering it from within, begins the day with peace.

    I find I am connected to whatever I need for that day.

    I can do what I need, either in anticipated ways, or ways which are unexpected.

    By offering what I love, others respond.

    By doing what is required by others, I only get so far.

    Focusing on what is within allows it to be released.

    The Within releases itself when it is seen.

    It naturally draws others to it.
