Humans are the only creature on earth that can actively choose, determine, and think. It is our own thinking that determines the quality of our own life. Circumstances may play a role in the choices we make. We can choose to let circumstances determine how we live or we can choose what we do with those circumstance to live the life we want.

People. Appreciate the people that are around you. Every person has a skill and talent. Sometimes it may not be obvious because they hide behind hurt and anger that stems from their own personal past events, but tend to project it onto their present environment. Don’t be that person, but try to be compassionate to those who do. You don’t need to know all the details of the “why,” but accepting of who they are. It may be finding a way to appreciate someone and not knowing what is deeper in that person to appreciate.

We are all connected. The fact that certain individuals are in your life are opportunities to learn about yourself, or to learn more about a quality such as compassion, tolerance, patience, understanding, temperance, grace, love.

Judgements. We live in a world where people judge on first impressions. Try to get past the initial impressions and dig a little deeper. We all want acceptance and appreciation. It’s not about changing people to how we would like for them to be as we all have our own unique path and process of evolution.

Circumstances. Our particular environment can either drive us further into a life we really don’t want, or it can give us the passion and determination to find a way toward a path that is more consistent with who we are and what we desire.

To get away from the sometimes craziness that can seem the norm when doing “the job” or when out participating in the world, my home is my sanctuary. My home reflects me and comforts my soul. I’m surrounded by music that that feeds my soul in whatever mood I’m in at the moment. I’m surround by a variety of books displayed in beautiful bookcases that always encourage me to read about things that motivate me, inspire me, and teach me.

Like water, soil, and sun to a plant, I make every effort to create an environment in my home that nurtures me, that is a haven of warmth and graciousness. Hopefully the qualities that I choose to live in spills over to the person I am at work, with friends, when I get my coffee in the morning, how I interact with the people I know and don’t know. It is here that I have control over what I see, hear, and feel. I choose things that make me smile, that expand my personality and unique style.

The more you reach out for the things to incorporate into your life is more of what you will start to find naturally gravitating toward you. For example, have you ever bought a car and then the day you drive off the lot you seem to see your car EVERYWHERE. Life seems to work that way. You start seeing more of what it is that you are bringing into your own life.

This is your challenge: Send out more of what you want to see coming into your life. Here is where you get to use your power of “choice.” Be accepting those things that are more you and want in your life, and choose to decline those things, people, and circumstances that aren’t. By discovering and appreciating what is uniquely you, you are able to appreciate and allow others to process their own path without judgment. It’s not a perfect world, but it is YOUR world. Create the world you choose to live in. It may not be perfect, but it is continually evolving, as it should be. Be confident in the person you are and what you have to offer the world. You make a difference just by showing up and being a part of it. You may inspire others because you have the courage to dance to your own music.

It’s not an overnight process. It does take time. Patience takes time, kindness and tolerance to less-than-tolerant people takes patience, and living in a state of grace takes a lot of kindness and tolerance.

In conclusion, I wish upon you an abundance of grace.

With great affection,
