Taking the High Road??

Have you ever heard of Neal Donald Walsh? He has written a series of books called Conversations with God.

When I first read these books I thought they were very enlightening. Years later I somehow signed up for the newsletter or whatnot and lately I have been getting these little "I Believe God Wants You To Know" bits in my e-mail and some of them have struck me this past week or so.

I Believe God Wants You To Know #49

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...that the best argument you can make is no argument at all. Do not argue with life, or with anyone in life. Life presents itself perfectly in every moment, and every person believe his or her point of view to be valid and "right".

Arguing with any of this is pointless, and a terrific waste of energy. Simply create what you choose next.

This was a big one for me, which is why I saved it and I am talking about it here. You don't have to believe in God to be a good person and have good morals and values in your life. When I was first starting this blog I had someone offer to help me get started and that was nice. Until I decided that I didn't really want any help and she accused me of "mirroring" her in this blog and in my private journal located on Live Journal.

To me, these accusations were ludicrous. I don't strive to be like anyone but myself. I have had my Live Journal since August of 2002 and from the beginning I have talked about the same things time and again. I talk about my life and my family and the things I like and dislike. For the longest time I had this "Rocket" theme since I am an Aerospace Engineer but I recently changed it to one that is pink with a letter and hearts and flowers coming out of it and sprawling across the top. But none of that is here or there. I got to wondering if maybe she thought I was copying her layout but they are not the same and have never been the same so I can't figure it out and I decided I don't care. I just live with the fact that the things I do have nothing to do with the things she does.

I Believe God Wants You To Know #50

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...that you've just had a really good idea! Don't deny it! Don't cast it aside, or "put if off 'til tomorrow," or in some other way give it short shrift.

Ideas are gifts from heaven. Don't dishonor them. Jump right on it. Make it happen . That what ideas are for!

And that is why I started this blog. I hope you like it and find it informative. I would love to hear you ideas and comments!!

I Believe God Wants You To Know #55

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...that love is sometimes shown in the things you don't say, don't keep track of, and don't notice.

The greatest kindness is often shown in letting things go. None of us is perfect, but we can all be perfect friends and perfect parters by allowing those that we love to be imperfect.

Give those around you the "break" that you hope the world will give you on your own "bad day" and you'll never, ever regret it.

And so I sit here, reading these little suggestions over and over and trying to make them happen in my head and in my heart. But, it's a long journey to forgiveness for you to actually mean it.
