Caution: Tripping Hazard

Do you react to things you experience and that is your action, or do you take action and create the life you want?

Reacting

I got up this morning and as soon as I stepped out of bed I stumped my toe, and fell into the nightstand bruising my leg. It hurt so bad. Everything spiraled from there as I prepared to go to the job I hate just so I can sit and listen to all of the problems of the delinquent occupying the cubicle next to me. He always looks at me like my fly is open. Every time I see him, I want to scream, "Brush your teeth!" He is such a loser.

Creating

I woke this morning from a great night's sleep. As I got out of bed I stumped my toe and then I fell into the nightstand and really whacked my leg. If I didn't know better, I would swear someone moved that thing while I slept... lol. I couldn't wait to get to work so I quickly ignored the pounding in my toe, and just like that I forgot all about the event. I was in a particular hurry to get to work today. You see, there's this new kid in the cubicle next to me. He has had a rough time of it lately, but I really listen to him and we seem to be connecting. Every time he talks about his life I want to hug him, and reassure him that all is well. He's such a great kid.

Which Type Am I?

Can I accept that, in choosing, I determine whether I am creating along with God, or just reacting to life? Both choices contribute to my perception of my life; good or bad. And there is no one to blame when things seem to be going poorly for me. In fact, as soon as I change the way I see me (I am a good person!), I change the way I describe myself. When I improve my belief about myself, things turn around. Additionally, when I choose to see others the way God sees all his children, I realize everyone deserves my love; including me. It is always up to me to choose to offer love (to myself as well as others), or to choose to withold it.

Rearranging the Letters

Reacting. Creating. When I rearrange the letters, I illustrate how I can make a change, and see myself as either one. If life seems unfair, change the way you see yourself. If you hate others, change the way you see them. They pose no threat to you really.

Realize The Truth

To quote a portion of the introduction to A Course in Miracles: "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."

When we stand up for love, we take on the character of Christ as he prayed for our unity and Oneness, with God and with each other. We are One. We are created in the image of God to be about his business, and joining in with what he is doing. And what is God doing? He is waking his children from their slumber -- as we are willing -- and He is showing us who we really are, so we can better serve from a place of humility and authenticity. God is working with us (even while we are breaking our toe), and he loves us deeply.

There is one hope, peace; one world, now; one Love, forever.

When you get it, express it, share it. The peace of God is for all people. It is meant to be expressed. In the expressing it is shared, and in our sharing we are creating peace on earth.
