PEACE Challenge: Day 27

Welcome back to the Peace Challenge

I apologize for the time our server was down, almost a week now, and am so relieved to be back. You can still follow us on face book, coaching for life, and here too!

Thank you for joining this growing network of individuals working to create more peace in our world!

Day 27!!(we are working for 40 days to increase peace, ending on valentines day 2010)

Today:

Focus on your need for approval from others;

what do you say and do; how do you dress; speak; answer questions? Are you the 'yes' guy?

Is somebody else's approval of you more important to you, than your own, quiet approval of self?

********

If we could regain the time in life that we have spent anxiously worrying about what others think I dare say that many of us would live years longer. Instead of worrying about what the other parents think of me with my children(all children, biological, foster, adopted, friends) I would be emotionally attuned to the need of my child in that moment, maintaining relationship and having been true to myself as a parent, first. Instead of working myself to death and leaving my family too many hours in a day for a measily paycheck, I would find my passion in life, work in that and be rewarded many times over!

Your quiet, true approval of self will bring real peace, not a temporary peace, but real peace that is unshakable even in the face of others disapproval. Now that would be nice~

Consider today how you seek others approval; who do you sell yourself for daily at work and home? For whom do you put on a mask? In what ways do you compromise your integrity for the applause of others?

This existence of longing for others approval becomes a slow, toxic wasting of precious moments of life, this life, the only life you have.

Today you can choose, with integrity to be all that you can be in spirit, even in this world. Today, you can choose to earn your own, quiet approval~

Peace,

Juli
