Goal for today 2/7/08

[Arius]

Yes, I am up early. And to think I went to bed a midnight.

Anyway, before I start the morning off, I just figured I would start a thread defining my goal for today spiritually in the hopes that perhaps others may partake of this effort. I would love to do this daily, but who knows.

Goal for today.

Today I resolve to make every attempt not to judge others. Hopefully, by concentrating on this goal today, it will become part of my lifestyle in a stronger fashion than it was yesterday. Just because I concentrate on this goal does not mean that I forget the lessons learned in the past.

I must see myself in others, and allow others to see themselves in me. It is certainly true that in order to hold the hand of another, I must first extend my own hand.

In the words of the Tao Verse #3:

"Putting a value on status will create contentiousness. If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal. By not displaying what is desirable, you will cause the people's hearts to remain undisturbed.

The sage governs by emptying minds and hearts, by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.

Practice not doing...When actions is pure and selfless, everything settles into its own perfect place."

Daily Meditation #1: "This is the moment of embarking. All auspicious signs are in place."

Agreed, a bit sleepy LOL. You never know thought, sometimes a "thread" like that threatens more than it does enlighten.

I have fixed the word...and yawned just a bit.

Oh, and here's wishing your brother many more happy birthdays to come!
