Respond With Your Heart

This is a article that I find even more appropriate today. I'm continually facing challenges like many of you. Some of you know that I'm experiencing some very difficult and challenging times in my personal life. Many of these challenges are very destructive to myself, my well being and my livelyhood if I were to allow them to do so. I find a lot of it comes from people who are enmeshed in their own "ego".

So as I read what I've written below, I find peace. Peace within myself and peace in the ability to see others for what they are and where they are coming from. I can't change other people, nor their actions, only they can. What I can change and determine is how I choose to react to their actions, no matter how destructive they are. What I can do is thank God daily for my blessings and that every day, my life is better and better.

I hope you'll find the meaning in this article and draw from it the peace that you need to find within. And so......

Respond With Your Heart

Your ego is ever anxious to react to whatever comes your way.

Yet there is always a much more powerful and effective course of action.

Instead of responding with your ego, respond to life with your heart.Instead of allowing your actions to be driven by petty, superficial concerns, let those actions come from the center of your being.

Supporting the demands of your ego can quickly use up all your energy, time and resources.
In contrast, listening to and living out the yearnings of your true self will bring your life an ever-increasing abundance.

Ego will entice you with the promise of pleasure but will always end up robbing you of real joy.

Ego gives you only a hollow image that can all too easily be shattered into nothing.

The more you tune out the noisy ranting of your ego, the more you'll touch the deep and awesome value of your true self.

The more completely you leave your ego behind, the more power your efforts will have.

Respond with your heart. And live true to the unique, authentic and valuable person you are.

Warmly,
