Cleansing some myths … (12/11/12)
“It is a very healthy endeavor now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.” ~ inspired by Bertrand Russell
… & where shall we start hanging those question marks?
How about on the following:
belief #02: You have to take care of yourself before you can effectively care for others.
Oops! This one is not True either … In fact, the only time your LOVE is truly potent is when you give it to another WHILE you are feeling “crappy”, BEFORE you take care of yourself.
belief #03: You are powerless and cannot make any real difference by yourself.
Oops! You got it — this one is patently false as well. What you choose to do (and why you choose to do it) always has a HUGE impact on other people’s lives.
So please choose wisely …
Please choose Compassion.
Please choose Kindness.
Please choose Love.
