Lesson 34

Snapshot_004

I read this a day ago and I knew exactly how it applied in my real life.  Specifically, referring to this past year with choices I made that were really not conducive to keeping the integrity this lesson speaks about and now seeing the outcome basically staring me in the face.

Don’t you hate when life plays that kind of joke on you?

Lesson 34: Integrity

Integrity is the foundation of a successful life. When our behaviors, actions, and choices are consistent with our deepest values, we gain the courage to be ourselves, and the confidence to ask for what we need. To the extent that we haven’t cleaned up the unfinished business from our past, we will unconsciously punish ourselves by withholding the love, success, and abundance we desire.

Resolving our integrity issues makes us feel worthy enough to manifest our dreams.

Your Self-Love Assignment

This week, take some time to look back over the past two years of your life. Make a list of the relationships or situations where you haven’t acted with complete integrity. On a piece of paper, write the person’s name, with a brief description of what you did or didn’t do that left you feeling bad about yourself.

Next, close your eyes; take a couple of slow, deep breathes; and ask yourself, “What could I do to bring this situation back into balance and restore my own sense of integrity?” Could you write a letter, deliver an apology, or contribute in some way to someone in need? This action could involve the person directly, but it doesn’t have to.

Design a plan of action to restore your integrity.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 100 points for every integrity issue you resolve this week.

Reading the news…


Snapshot_021

Anymore reading the news is so discouraging and yet it’s good to stay informed about what is happening around the word as well as your individual locality.   Though it’s always best to remember that news is often reported with a heightened sense to evoke the greatest emotion that sells.   I have respect for the written word, but dealing with the news media in my professional career has definitely given me a new perspective on how news is reported.

Reading an actual newspaper would be somewhat of a novelty for me now since I read most of my news via the computer or my favorite gadget my trusty handy tool the iPad.   Even in Second Life, it’s great that we have magazines that keep us informed.   I love perusing blogs, though most only report credits and to keep up with what’s new in the fashion world, those blogs do well.   Though I also love to read what inspires creations and the motivation behind a lot of what happens in this virtual world.  A friend just sent me a link to Fierce magazine, which you can check out here.    Happy reading!
