To Your Patience


There's a Chinese proverb that reads:  "If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow."
 
I love this proverb and I know this is true.  Whatever might happen today that may push a button or cause us to feel reactive, let's practice bringing patience to that moment.  Let’s bring compassion to that moment.
 
At the very core of every heart, not only in our country but the world, is the idea that every one of us is created by one Power.  We are created with sovereignty and inalienable rights. 
From this new perspective, we know that we're receiving 100 days with a much more positive outlook.  If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow.  Let’s practice patience today and enjoy a new, expanded, positive experience. 
 
Let’s go down to our core values today.  Let’s go beyond all the diversity, aldivision, and all the different opinions and just bring forth an energy of appreciation. We bring appreciation for everyone who has stood up for the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We bring a new valuing of the sovereignty, the dignity, and the valuing of every person we encounter.
 
Within our lifetime, there really could be a shift.  If that shift were to occur in the world, it must occur in us.
