Do Things Daily That Are Difficult For You To D

This is great advise...to often I think we think within ...in fear...Ohh I cant say that!!!
LET'S PRACTICE SPEAKING THE TRUTH WITHIN US TO THOSE AROUND US.
Each and every day, say or do at least one thing that you find difficult to say or do.

Every time you say something that is difficult for you to say, you build up your self-image: "I am a person who can speak up and say things even thought I find them difficult to say."

Every time you do something difficult, you build up your self-image: "I am a person who can do things even though they are difficult for me to do."

This is a highly empowering self-image booster. This way you will keep saying and doing things that you need to say and do, and you won't be stopped by the thoughts of, "I find it difficult to say or do, so I won't say or do it."
(From Rabbi Zelig Pliskin's book: "Building Your Self-image and the Self-image of Others" (Artscroll) Chapter 63)

The rough and smooth places

Everyone has them.....

Places in the soul where you are rough, jagged, pointy, uneven and piercing.

We also have smooth, soft, even and gentle places.

Ever hear that saying " IF I AM MYSELF, WHAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE ME!!"

Did you know that it is the spaces where you breath and allow yourself to shine through that makes you attractive to other people? And while there may be people who don't care for you or your personality type ...it tells you something about them...it speaks of their ability to handle differences, be real with you and be a supporter of your best self.

Most people can smell "fake" a mile away...you may only fudge a little but it is all the same.

Be willing to step out and see if people can handle you. And you will find those who can! They are the ones you want around anyway...right!!??? :0)

Rest...

Give yourself a break...

Be who you are !! ...in all your rough ( angry, bossy, pushy, touchy, intolerant, negative )  and smooth ( calm, humble, obliging, agreeable, tolerant, positive ) places.

PS: if you didn't notice -- on both sides of Rough vs. Smooth --you need both sides!!

Anything taken to extreme can be harmful!!

Truth

Truth always wins. Doing right is never wrong. Being honest and trustworthy is the way to live. Perhaps a slight twist of the facts might bring a short term gain. A little misrepresentation might bring some short term satisfaction. But in the end truth always wins, so live like a winner.

MONDAY MOTTO: Your Problem

Your problem is NOT that someone said some stuff that made you mad.
Your problem is that you got mad at some stuff someone said.
