"Imagine..."

John Lennon's song..."Imagine" has always inspired me. Also, (on a previous post) one of my favorite quotes by Gandhi is: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Imagine a world where we are all united as one--not at war, no bullying in schools or elsewhere, no genocides, gangs, sex trafficking, rape, murder, etc...

All of us are only responsible for ourselves. We always have a choice how we choose to react to someone or circumstances in life. For instance, the next time you are angry, there are appropriate ways to deal with your anger and there are not. Why not try breathing and counting to 10 before yelling at someone or saying things you will regret. Or...when appropriate, use a plastic bat on your pillow or mattress. (Debbie Ford suggests this) I have done that before and you may feel silly at first, but it feels really good when you are done. :) Don't 'beat yourself up' for feeling angry or whatever emotion you feel. Allow yourself to feel the way you do and then move on...

All of us are doing the best that we can with where we are on our journey in life. Sometimes it takes looking at something with a different perspective or a new awareness of a situation.

Again, it is my intention to share from my heart and hopefully, my words will help you "shift" your thinking or behavior and raise your level of awareness...
