“Any time someone’s thoughts, words or actions become of offense to you, you are being self-absorbed- in that you think it’s all about you. Freedom comes when you know that there is nothing personal is anyone’s agenda.” — Penna

Most people make assumptions. A lot of people make assumptions based on past experiences. It has nothing to do with you personally. Most people are caught up in stereo-types and do not know how to separate you from…

How often do we lose ourselves in the thoughts and opinions of others? We have so much to offer to the world, and to ourselves, but we forget that. We become so consumed by judgments, criticism, cruelty, hatred, negativity, low self-esteem and full of disdain for life.

When will we ever try to be there for someone else? I notice that the only time someone will try to help you is when they want something from you.…

We are not designed to be critical of others or ourselves. We think ill of others only out of fear.

To release words that hurt others contaminates both that person and ourselves, and our physical body holds us responsible for this form of destruction.

We should never intentionally judge another person or ourselves negatively.  For, negative judgments create negative consequences, both in the body and in the external environment.

Today, beware of being critical.
