"Focus on what's beautiful in your life, inlc;uding your own beauty."

“It takes  discipline  to conquer the nagging voices of our minds, the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of poverty, the fear of a broken heart.  It takes discipline to keep trying when that nagging voice within us brings up the possibility of failure.”  ~ Jim Rohn
I tell my children not to worry about what others think of them; that “what the others think of you is none of your business.”  

And, I tell them that it pays to be gracious, loving, present well, dress well and behave with grace.  

But don't  these two bits of advice seem to contradict each other? 

Actually, they say the same thing.

To clarify:

It is due to fear that we worry what people think of us.  (Mostly the others are thinking more of themselves than of you, and their judgements come from their fears too.)

​ Your true self, your divine part is exactly as God created. It is important not to live your fears.  


So, because you are a loving and beloved, precious soul, as you are gracious, presenting to others as grace, beauty, compassion and loving, you allow the other people to know you as you are.

How do we “not live our fears?”

“It takes  discipline  to conquer the nagging voices of our minds, the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of poverty, the fear of a broken heart.  It takes discipline to keep trying when that nagging voice within us brings up the possibility of failure.”  ~ Jim Rohn

Focus on what’s beautiful in your life, including your beauty.  Live your dreams, instead of your fears.  Hang with happy people.  Why not?  

Remember, that "what the others think about you is none of your business," so do not dress for them, behave for them, or act in any certain way for them. Rather, live up to YOUR OWN level of excellence. 

Live in your beauty, your love, your courage, your divine part. This week, keep those parts front and center. Love will keep you ‘together,’ as the song says.

Love,
