Today's Inspiration
by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
The focus for today's inspiration is:
We are all connected.
Listen to audio/mp3 version here:
Rather than thinking "negative thoughts" about someone who is a challenge in your life, think of them in the way you'd like them to be... supportive, loving, joyful, etc. See it as a "self-fulfilling" prophecy, or I suppose more appropriately, an "other-fulfilling" prophecy.
Since we are all connected, our thoughts, our positive energy, will "feed" that energy, that message, that reality to the other person. Anytime you find yourself falling back on the "negative thoughts" about this person, just say Cancel, and return to thinking of the person in the way you'd like them to be... loving and supportive, which is their true self.
Just as children, when constantly told they are stupid, ugly, clumsy, etc., start to fulfill that expectation, the person that you, mentally and spiritually, are thinking of in a more positive way, will get the message which they can then accept into their being.
