It's very easy for you to be wholesome and virtuous and spiritual when things are going right. But as soon as a little bit of adversity arises, then the real test begins. That's the time when you can find out how well your practice has been proceeding... Changing the Weather... by RenTe Gaudette and Maggie McGuffin Gaudette. Why would you choose to change the weather? Isn't there love in a storm? The ego judges that a storm is bad, something not desirable. And as a result, it wants to change it. We would suggest this isn't about change as much as it is about acceptance and appreciation. Discovering Resiliency by Julia Cameron. Worry has an anxious and unfocused quality. It skitters subject to subject, fixating first on one thing, then on another. Like a noisy vacuum cleaner, its chief function is to distract us from what we really are afraid of. Worry is a kind of emotional anteater poking into all corners for trouble. Emotions in Motion by Barbara J.Semple. 'Energy in motion' can be used for good or bad, the same as a pencil can be used to draw a beautiful picture or to poke someone in the eye. I have noticed this especially about anger. I know that how I consciously direct my emotional energy is important... Dear Child by Shari Rathman. (See below) NEWSLETTER TIDBIT Inspirational Message.

Love comes from the "inside". Joy comes from the "inside". Be sure to feed your "insides" so that these emotions are nurtured and allowed to come out and be shared with others.                         All is well, Child of God.               ~ Shari Rathman ~        This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it          INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE      LIFE'S ECHO! A son and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?" Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!" He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?" The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!" Again the man screams: "You are a champion!" The voice answers: "You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: "People call this Echo, but really this is Life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it. -- author unknown (Thanks to Sherry R. for sending this to us.)    back to top of page    Your Paricipation at InnerSelf.com is appreciated * A Heartfelt Thank You to all our readers who are purchasing books and other items through InnerSelf.com.
