I UNDERSTAND

2012-02-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

I feel someone right now needs to remember that the best mentors are those that can empathize with your struggle.., not just express sympathy from a lofty pedestal.., or pulpit.

BEattitude: “How can I BE disappointed by your behavior, when all that’s in you, is also in me?
To speak against your darkness, effectively, only means I recognize the patterns and the behavior and their familiarity is troubling and seeing you at your worst unsettles me.
So my instinct is to criticize…
but my obligation is to say, “I Understand”…
so that you might Know and Believe there’s LIGHT, as reflected in me, at the end of your tunnel, too.”

TIME

2012-02-15T09:13:00.000-07:00

BEattitude: "We all try, even when we appear not to, to see our way clearly.
If only we had time to allow the mud to settle, the water to clear BEFORE we engage others, have children, accept that promotion.., commit the precious time away that's needed to see our way clear. In the business of Living Life, especially Full Lives, we forget to spend time with the One that's at the center of everything we desire to achieve.
No, not God.., OURselves.
Being Designed to BE an Instrument of Peace, Love and Compassion to the World, we fail miserably in doing so when we forget that We are the first recipient of our own Peace, Love and Compassion. It's True, you can't Give Away what you don't possess or value internally. In lieu of those qualities we wish to impart, we pass along doubt, despondency, listlessness and a host of other undesirable qualities.
If only we gave ourselves Time.., for the mud in our lives to settle.., and the water to BEcome clear."

Oh WHITNEY

Goodbye Whitney.

THOUGHTS

2012-02-05T16:59:00.001-07:00

BEattitude: "Do you own scholarship on your sacred traditions. BE sure that what you BELIEVE to BE Truth and Fact, is borne out of the Truth, not a distortion for political, economic or religious gain. Too much of our History is tainted, tarnished and transmuted and we build on those fallacies ideologies that are destined to fail us when we need them most.
IS THAT YOUR THOUGHT YOU'RE THINKING?"

GOOD REPORT

2012-01-25T20:17:00.003-07:00

BEattitude: "How often do we give a Good Report?...
Now, reflect on the last question you were asked and your immediate response.
All too often we answer unconsciously and automatically and those responses don't portray our true Heart or our Intention.., or do those answers betray the image we've created of ourselves?
Pause for a moment and consider that if your immediate response isn't a Good Report.., delay that answer, till you're certain you can give one.
We create that which we speak, dispense and repeat the most often.
BEing Truthful, at the cost of our Peace or the Creation of Our Well Being, seems like a hollow victory. Sometimes 'keeping it real' keeps us stuck in the quagmire of our dysfunction.
Resist the urge with me to speak or perform unconsciously and practice a week of Good Reports and let's just see what happens."

The CUE

2012-01-21T19:21:00.004-07:00

BEattitude: "My first thought this morning of was of a 'tight' space.., a narrow passage. I saw in this impasse, a log jam of souls straining to reach through to the other side, where the expanse there held answers and relief.
Yet behind them was a wide field of misinformation and misguided revelry. If only the souls could turn a deaf ear to their beckoning whispers to pass through that narrow space they might have found the same blissful ignorance and danced also in the field with reckless abandon.
But instead they're cued, waiting to be welcomed on the other side.
If you ever awake, feeling a like pressure and nothing you've seen or done has satisfied..,
Welcome to the Cue..."

CLOSED DOOR

2012-01-15T18:10:00.001-07:00

BEattitude: "The hardest decision you will ever make is to 'Knock' or 'Not to Knock'.
Just know, some doors are closed for a reason and attempting to discover what's behind those closed doors deters Living Fully NOW on this side of the closed door.

GONE

2012-01-15T17:50:00.004-07:00

BEattitude: "When one chooses to end their own life.., there's a string of events that are altered, a series of missed opportunities and fortuitous meetings that never come to fruition.., creative, spiritual and social inventions that die untimely as well and are diverted back into The Source of all Life.
There's a sadness in the wake of those that leave us too soon.., especially if by their own misguided willful spirits. Counsel those who are considering this path, carefully. And, if in reading this, you see yourself.., consider those that you will leave behind and the journey you'll set into motion for them if you give in to your despair.
Endure the Pain of Life, but Choose Life all the same."

WATER

2012-01-13T18:39:00.002-07:00

BEGIN NOW

2012-01-11T19:02:00.000-07:00

BEattitude:" Your path has led you to THIS day, THIS moment..,
when you call your True Name into existence,
everything 'restarts' for you and you will now LIVE more fully than ever.
BEGIN Now, with your New Definition.
BEGIN Now, with your New Name.
BEGIN Now, with your NEW Purpose.
Understand your First Steps will BE in Darkness..,
but there's LIGHT on the Horizon. Just keep Moving Forward.
BEGIN NOW."

BE CAREFUL

2012-01-10T18:26:00.001-07:00

BEattitude: "BE CAREFUL...
Be Careful of how you spend your time..,
Be Sure that the majority of the time you spend reflect who you are,
not who someone else needs you to be.
Be Careful of the love you lavish upon another... Be Sure that they're reciprocating as much as they're receiving.
Be Careful of the things that draw your focus..,
Be Sure that what you're viewing is building you up, not destroying your mind or soul.
Be Careful of the news you digest and take to heart..,
Be Sure that you have been called to solve those problems that you're most passionate about.
Be Careful as you interact with the world around you..,
Be Sure that you're inspired more often than you're intimidated by those in your community and in your work.
Walk circumspectly.
BE CAREFUL with your LIFE."

BE CLEAR

2012-01-10T18:16:00.000-07:00

BEattitude: "Don't go your entire life BEing misunderstood.
If there's any confusion about WHO you are, perhaps it's BEcause you've never fully defined yourself to yourself and conversely others are following your lead.
BE Clear about WHO you are. Clarity BEgins and ends with you."

CHANGE

2012-01-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

BEattitude: “We all wish for Better Lives.
It’s been my experience, however, that only Better Attitudes about the Life we Have creates the Pathway to the Better Life we Seek.
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE, CHANGE YOUR LIFE.”

SERVICE

2012-01-06T23:32:00.001-07:00

BEattitude: "I AM RESPONSIBLE for the GIFTS and TALENTS I POSSESS.
They are NOT Mine to Hoard. They are Only On Loan.
They BELONG in SERVICE, NOT on DISPLAY."

HEAL DAILY

2012-01-05T10:10:00.001-07:00

BEattitude: "There's no doubt that we each wish to BE HEALED, immediately.
As much as we Pray and Believe for this Miracle, the Truth is we continue to HEAL DAILY.
Pain, Heartbreak and Heartache, Hopelessness, Fear, Distrust.., all slowly ebb away over time.
YOU Will BE HEALED.., in Time.
Just allow yourself to HEAL DAILY."

GRACE

DECISIONS 2012

2012-01-01T16:49:00.000-07:00

BEattitude: "I Desire to BE part of the Dialogue concerning the Changes happening in our World. That is My Intention.
I know This is Who I Am. My articulation is to Always Do What I Can, especially when those decisions are unpopular.., or even unwise.
What's the point of playing it safe if in doing so, we die a little each day?
Make the Decisions that are Necessary, not Convenient."

ARTICULATION

2012-01-01T09:43:00.003-07:00

BEattitude: "Once you Awaken, it's necessary to find the Words to Express that Awakening. ARTICULATION is Paramount. SPEAK into Existence the thing that lives only in your Soul. No time for Timidity or Intimidation. No Longer BE Bound by Fear of Change or Challenge. THIS IS YOUR TIME to BE BOLD.
ARTICULATION is the Key to Your Success in 2012."

AWAKEN

LEAVE BEHIND in 2011."

the ANSWER

2011-12-28T20:28:00.003-07:00

BEattitude: "Too many times we rush to defend.., to answer.., to explain,
when the only answer is the same one that has stood the test of time.
In the face of every doubter, every critique, every disparaging comment intended to shame or defame..,
Remember this Answer...,
and BE Confident as you step out and into your Destiny."

JUDGE NOT

2011-12-27T15:39:00.004-07:00

BEattitude: "Too many opportunities in any given day are presented to pass judgment on another who moves through life differently than we might. It's actually harder not to have an opinion or feel obligated to share it, whether asked or not.
When we cease to care about or refuse to share in the opinions of others (especially those that represent the majority or status quo), we can seem unloving at times.
But I ask you to consider the intentions behind those judgments so freely shared.
Are we truly our brother's keepers.., or their accusers? And...
Can any man know what's going on in the heart of another?
It would appear wisest to Judge Not lest we BE Judged, especially as our time becomes increasingly more precious in this uncertain world and equally uncertain times..,
just in case there's a truly serious judgment day on the horizon."
