Thought for Today,
Thursday, September 1, 2011
The only time you have the right to judge another is when you
are looking at your own reflection in the internal mirror.

Relax and allow this moment to come. Savor the richness of it as it
passes through your experience.
Then, just as peacefully as you let it in, let the moment go.
And allow the next moment to flow freely into your life.
There is nothing to be gained by fighting against perceived
difficulties, or by running away from them. There is nothing to be
gained by worrying that the things you value will be taken from you.
Instead, enjoy, appreciate and make full use of your many
treasures and blessings. By so doing, you'll make it impossible for
them to ever be taken from you.
Welcome each new challenge as it appears. It is by moving
through the challenges that you enrich yourself and the world around
you.
Let each unique moment flow freely through you, with whatever it
may bring, and experience it fully, with passion, purpose, and
positive expectation. Then let it go, while holding on to the richness
it has added to your life.

Are you aware of what's happening right now? Or do your recollections
of the past and speculations about the future create a barrier between
you and the present moment?
Are you fully living and experiencing this life that you have?
Or do you put so much energy into analyzing every detail and worrying
about every move that there's no time left to simply and gloriously
be?
Are you striving so earnestly to get ahead that all the effort
is putting you more and more behind? Is your life so totally defined
by what you need to do that you've lost sight of who you are?
There is so much you can let go of, without really losing a
thing. It is when you stop merely trying that you can truly be.
The life for which you have always longed is as close as your
very next choice. You are completely equipped and prepared to make
that choice.
This moment is filled with magnificent possibilities, and this
moment is when you can bring the best of them to life. Let go of those
burdens you really don't need, and open yourself to the beauty of now.

LETTING YOURSELF GROW
Did you know that the gestation period for an elephant is 22 months?
And then, she will give birth to a bundle of joy that weighs 150-250
pounds. If you're pregnant and sick of feeling like an elephant, at
you aren't one.
Growth takes time. That is true of humans as well as elephants. I
attended a parent-teacher conference for my second-grade son.. We sat
in the children's chairs. They were about two feet tall and certainly
not made for adults. Those chairs were designed for little people.
Growth is a slow process, but as we grow up, we outgrow the little
chairs.
We grow physically and we grow in other ways, too. We grow in our
roles and relationships. I occasionally asked my adolescent kids, "How
do you think you're doing raising your parents?" I understood I would
become a better parent as I grew into that role.
Sometimes growth in parenting involves the understanding that we don't
know as much as we thought we did. Before my wife and I had children
we taught parenting classes. We knew all of the fundamentals of
raising happy and well-behaved children. Now, after raising my own
children, I am sometimes asked about parenting issues. This often
occurs when I am teaching a class on a different topic. My response
these days is to turn to the group and ask, "Does anyone here have any
suggestions?"
As I've grown older, I have come to see more clearly just how much
more I need to grow. I realize that simple answers do not fit every
situation ...or every child. I am throwing out the easy answers and
learning to assess every parenting issue individually. I try to learn
from my failures, to trust my instincts and to respond more often from
my best self.
I have come a long way, but have a long way yet to grow. And that is
true of every area of my life.
If you're not yet the person you want to be, can you be patient as you
grow? It takes the elephant 22 months to give birth. Even the
mightiest tree begins as a frail seed.
Be patient. You can go through life or you can grow through life.
