Today's
Meditation:
"My
own truer and better world from within." How I
love that line--how much it says to me about the potential
that I have to make my world a better place using the
resources and abilities that already are inside of me,
instead of waiting for someone or something else to come
along and make my world better from the outside. I
know from experience that that simply won't happen--nice
things most definitely can come from the outside, but true
change for the better is an inside-out process.
Every
day I'm shaping my future with my decisions and my
actions. My thoughts and my deeds shape my
tomorrows, and only I can shape my future "through my
own better conduct." It's comforting to know
that the life that I'm creating is the result of the
spirit inside of me, that eternal part of who I am, that
part that is concerned solely with becoming better by
helping, by giving, by sharing, by showing compassion and
love to my fellow spirits who share this beautiful planet
with me.
No
one can live my life for me, so there's no need for me to
try to let anyone do so. No one can create my
tomorrows for me, no one can make decisions for me, no one
can build a truer and better world for me, as that comes
from within. My life is my life, and while I can
trust life and trust my God to be there for me at all
times, I know that I was given my life to live in the best
way I know how to live it. And my hope is that I
continue to build my tomorrows by improving my own conduct
so that each day I give more love, share more compassion,
and encourage more people.
