The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives. – Armistead Maupin
The world waits on us. When can we start being honest and authentic? When will we square up with us?

Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
Suffering of any kind is the result of judging or holding a resentment against someone or something. Such ‘unforgiving’ thoughts are the root cause of our physical or mental suffering. Release from this suffering is very simple…
Today I AM forgiving everyone and everything. I AM free and fully released!

Perfectionism is our most compulsive way of keeping ourselves small, a kind of psychoemotional contortionism that gives the illusion of reaching for greatness while constricting us into increasingly suffocating smallness. – Ursula K. Le Guin
“Refuse to play the perfectionism game”. Let’s not use our apparent desire to be perfect to become an excuse to not do anything challenging or worthwhile. Let’s not say, I’ll do this when … such and such thing happens. We’re only fooling self.
Today I AM coming face-to-face with the excuses I generate so that I don’t have to do something.

I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves…
Living the big questions facing us in Life is more fruitful than trying to impatiently find answers. Living the questions is the road to a rich and meaningful life.
Today I AM patient and truly becoming one with the big questions in my Life. Life is now more meaningful.

An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love” — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. – Adrienne Rich
A series taken from this thought-provoking website – www.brainpickings.org
An honorable relationship is about love, which is about truth. Both take courage. Both create something that’s beautiful and eternal. Certainly a worthy resolution for 2016…
Today I AM focused on creating strong and truthful relationships…

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. – Jonathan Swift
To see, truly see, is a gift. A gift that can be developed. Developed by firmly occupying the here and the now.
Today I AM slowing down. I see. I revel. I breathe more deeply. I AM here, in the now.
Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties. – Ben Franklin
Our ‘limited perspective’ guides how we view life and is the main reason we suffer the way we do. How can we expand our perspective? How can we step back and rise above-it-all?
Today I AM still and am listening to the ‘voice’ within. I AM guided and protected…
