We Cannot Change Others, But

God, Help Me Remember That When I Admit And Accept The Truth, I'll Be Given The Power And Guidance To Change.

It's Easy To See And Notice What We Like In Other People. Sometimes, It's Not As Easy To See The Attributes And Beauty In Ourselves. It's Good To See The Beauty In Others. But Sometimes, Take A Moment And Get Excited When You Notice What's Beautiful In Yourself, Too.

We Call It Keeping Up With The Joneses. They Buy A Boat And We Buy A Bigger One. They Get A New Tv And We Get A Big Screen. They Start A Business And We Start Planning Our Articles Of Incorporation And The First Stock Release. And While We're So Busy Keeping Up, We Ignore Our Soul, The Inner Voice, That's Telling Us That It Really Wants To Teach Children To Read. While It Helps To Identify With Each Other, We're Not The Same. So Why Compare Ourselves On The Basis Of Material Things? Are You Walking A Path With Heart In Your Own Life, Regardless Of What Others Have?

I Trust So Much In The Power Of The Heart And The Soul; I Know That The Answer To What We Need To Do Next Is In Our Own Hearts. All We Have To Do Is Listen, Then Take That One Step Further And Trust What We Hear. We Will Be Taught What We Need To Learn.

Gratitude Makes Sense Of Our Past, Brings Peace For Today, And Creates A Vision For Tomorrow.
