June 14 … SELF-Identification

Note the “top 5 faults” of others in your life (whether they are all exhibited by one person or 5 separate people makes no difference).  Next note the “top 5 Virtues” you see in others as well.  Write all ten (10) of these traits down on a piece of paper, starting with the words “You are…” before them.  Then go in front of a mirror and read each of these sentences aloud to yourself; looking yourself in the eye after each one is read.  Have the Courage to honestly assess how the “faults” relate to your own past or present behaviors, and how the “virtues” embody the foundation of your True Self – who you always have Been and who you always will Be … Now go forth and re-Appreciate the people who were the original inspirations behind these sentences – Seeing them without seeing their “faults”; Seeing your own Goodness in their own.
