THE INFINITE IOTA OF GOD

[The following is a partial piece of my post of March 17, 2017. Slightly reworked, it fits me today.]

In these my later years, I have let go of a great deal of my self-imposed standards...I found all they did was keep my sense of inferior superiority alive and kicking my butt daily. I do, however, hold close two sentences that ensure my peace:

1. Most important was the discovery that spiritual principles could solve all of my problems.
2. Just try not to be as nasty as you want to be.

I'm convinced I'm my authentic self when I consciously rely on those two sentences. The majority of the time (sometimes 51%, sometimes a tish more) I put the welfare of another before my concern for my own self...which is surprisingly calming.

I can believe I am being my authentic self, that infinite iota of God within me, because even with my rag-a-muffin self nattering with a better idea, I rely on spiritual principles. They can and do help me not be as nasty as I want to be.

Thank you.
