Stand Up and Make a Difference

We all stand for something. What do you stand for? Do you stand for love? Do you stand for authenticity? Do you stand for joy? Do you stand for freedom? Do you stand for abundance? Do you "live out loud" or do you settle for the status quo and take up residence in the comfort zone? How are you making a difference? How are you loving yourself?

My commitment this year is to help us remember theTruth of who we are on a daily basis, and that means we are God in form; totally lovable and worthwhile in every way. And yet, we don't necessarily identify ourselves with that idea. Instead, we tend to focus on our mistakes, our flaws, what we did wrong, what we failed to do, how we mis-spoke, or how someone hurt our feelings. 

So, if we want to stand for something and make a difference, we need to put down ideas that tell us we don't matter or that our mistakes have the power to keep us small.  Who we are makes a difference. We don't need to go in search of something greater; the greater is already who we are. We only need to be courageous enough to be ourselves. 

Loving yourself no matter what is the cornerstone to loving God and a really good foundation of making a difference.

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

But it is only as you let go of the lesser that you can take hold of the greater, only as you drop confusion that you can entertain peace, only as you transcend doubt and fear that you can be lifted up to the hill tops of the inner Life.
