Permission To Be Imperfect

Permission To Be Imperfect

     In “The Birth Order Book” by Dr. Kevin Leman, he used the phrases “Give yourself permission to be imperfect”, and “Give yourself permission to fail”.  If we wait for when we’re good enough to do somethings, then that thing may never get started.

     Begin now is a good time and place to let the happening get underway, so even though “imperfect” may be on the horizon, moving forward should still be our focus.  To fail is definitely a possibility, but “failure” doesn’t have to be accepted as a label.

     Just try, and choose the process that allows goodness to occur, making outcomes shine around us.  There is so much potential amidst our being, it fills us with hope to make the surroundings brighter.

     When we’re open to perspectives then inspirations can lead us toward a greater path, and the outcome may change ours as well as other’s futures.  If it is within our grasping and we hold onto that which is gifted to us, thence the valued and valuable parts of us are cherished and ready to bless others by pay-it-forward opportunities.

     The “imperfect” chances could be made perfect “presents” as times of awareness and being gifts to another.  The giving ourselves permission to ……, is the ultimate self-talk we may need to do ……!  Say yes, just do!

Kindness In The Race To Be Human

Kindness In The Race To Be Human

     Our action choices always border on the positive or negative, in which we can choose the level of caring, compassion and kindness to infuse.  To relate to another well speaks glowingly about our character.

     Someone once said, “If we don’t bring the gift with us, we won’t find it there.”  The same is likely about kindness, if we don’t bring it, finding it may be difficult to locate.

     Being human is easier when we act humane, and treat others with love and respect.  We have many opportunities to flourish in environments, to bless those with whom we connect.

     The speed in our gait is an impressive outcome resulting in tremendous perspectives plus putting us in places that open possibilities.  The love we have for others has amazing in propelling us toward greater dimensions.

     When reaching to get close to someone it’s easier to realize so much in their build-up and their background.  The way we respond to that person’s needs or hurts can be the healing making the difference.  Be kinder!

My Lord and my God

Cursillo #310 (October 2024)

These words are when the Presence of Jesus is recognized.

And His peace is given as a blessing and a welcoming.

He is there for us, showing the way to the Father & Spirit.

He reveals Himself that we can know we are not alone.

     Seeing my Lord and my God, we know He’s close!

 

Realizing Jesus is present, we receive then we can share.

We’re sent on mission and God brings ones to our path.

Living Tabernacles we’ve become to contain the Blessed Lord.

Ministering to others, bringing healing to all, we go forth.

     Sharing Jesus is our calling and challenge!

 

Grace & Power:  Enough

Cursillo #311 (October 2024)

The Grace and Power of God fills us; to the Enough level.

It can also overflow and spill onto others brought to our path.

We are here to receive the gifts God is offering to each of us.

What God shares with us is tremendous and quite filling.

     The gifts of grace and power are enough.

 

As we’ve received, now is our turn to pass on to another.

Reflecting God is the mission ahead of us, our calling.

Jesus sends us out, but not alone, but with companions.

Solo we’re not, but linked in community, united with family members

      We are more, because of God’s ENOUGH!

 

Palanca

         This term was introduced to me as a Spanish word meaning “lever” to lift another toward God with prayer and sacrifice.  Then a note of support and encouragement can be added to communicate the feelings to one or more people.

An Oxygen Mask Item

An Oxygen Mask Item

  On a plane when an oxygen mask falls there are some things wrong; but put yours on first, then help someone else.  When presented with such an item, we could enter the chaos or calmly proceed.

First responders are most effective because of their attitude, but not so with first reactors.  If we are not rational in acting then are we able to handle the situation that needs clear thinking.

For clarity in approaching a situation, we need to be able to reach out in ways so putting our best selves in the place to allow a thriving character to have great results.  Faced with something like an oxygen mask dropping in our presence shows us that issues are looming and we must address the problematic things.

When a traumatic occurrence is in our midst then fear may become overwhelming to deal with.  The oxygen mask may be real or symbolic of a helper to get us beyond the challenge we face.

To be filled with hope we can take steps toward positivity so progress is within our grasp.  Having that thing to get us to the next level brightens a perspective so we can see clearly.  Receive the helper to be a helper.

You’re A Jewel

You’re A Jewel

A jewel has many facets, similar to each of us, and how we interact with others in our environments.  The ways we shine blesses many of those connected to us.

Precious is the resulting Support Groups we’re part of, and also any that help us on our way.   Valued and valuable are traits giving us amazing insights that lift our self-esteem.

Seeing ourselves in such ways improves the perspective reflecting in the picturesque masterpieces we portray.  A gem appearing in a setting we reside in can affect those with close contact to us.

We are bright spots in many lives to edify people immensely, and be inspirational and energizing to accomplish magnificent deeds.  To bring an infinite goodness for others illuminates such tremendous levels.

The facets that we add our environments maybe beyond any we may imagine possible.  Just being where we are could be the needed presence to do great things.  Be the gem, be the gift.

Broken Things Fixer

Broken Things Fixer

Someone described his vocation this way, similar to what I’ve seen my role as working wherever I am, to do good.  Missionary work doesn’t have to be in a far off place, but a missionary mindset can accomplish a task that is close at hand.

As I look back at my life I’ve had many opportunities to do just that, to fix things in some ways were broken.  Mending various items was satisfying immensely, bringing joy and smiles to many.

Plus having a hand in the repairs taught me lessons to cherish great and memorable experiences.  Being open to receive messages has given me incredible boosts toward chances for phenomenal rewards.

When we are in environments that help others, what gets returned to us reflects magnificently.  As we’re able to be available to others there is so much positivity that’s revealed for and those we contact.

When we fix what is possible that which gets done shines brightly in ways beyond anything we’d imagined.  The glue we use and are makes a tremendous difference to all affected.  Something fixed can be shared in stories!
