UNDERSTANDING TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Good Morning.  Another work week is almost done.  Do you ever stop to think just how much you pack into a week?  If you went day by day, you would look at yourself in amazement at how you got it all done.  Please say something nice about yourself today and every day!

Being human is something we all have in common.  We have a range of emotions on any given day.  One of my least favorite is anger.  We all have it.  We've all been there but what do we do with it?

Today's quote, "We are sophisticated enough to understand what causes anger - be enlightened enough to let it go."  We know ourselves.  We know what bothers us.  What irritates us.  We know the things that make us angry but do we know how to let go of that anger.

I'm not saying we should negate our feelings.  I'm not saying that we should never get angry.  What I am saying is that we shouldn't hold onto it.  Holding onto something so negative seeps into the core of our being and you become anger itself.

Look at what happened to make you feel that way.  Acknowledge your feeling and the source from which it came but don't become that feeling.  As in meditation, let it come in and let it go out.  Enlightenment is a faraway place but it doesn't mean we can't try to get there.

Every day you get closer, for we are all a work in progress!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy
