TEST THE POWER OF THANK YOU

We can always recognize a dishonest person...s/he's the one seeing dishonesty in everyone else. Beware of him for she will become you in a heartbeat.

Here's the discipline...learn (by doing) to expect the best. Expect the best of our own self...not only of our ability but of our willingness to give, to give over. Expect the best in others...in their response to us and to life itself.

We are responsible for how we choose to interpret what we hear. If we choose to interpret as holy water the mud slung in our face, we're allowed...and why not? Water, holy or not, leaves no stain behind...mud's a whole n'other story.

An unfortunate fact is the ego-victory mindset is geared to the belief that mud can only be got rid of by slinging it back. That has never got anybody free, yet sling we will.

This is the test of the power of "thank you." When (not if) we get mud slung in our face, think "thank you" even as it hits. There. That's our invitation to know it as holy water...our "thank you" is the great transmuter.

Thank you.
