Seeing More Clearly

When we criticize, we see with limited sight. When we blame or resent, we see in the dark. When we hate or see revenge, we cannot see. Only with true forgiveness can we really see.

Every time we close the lens on our inner eye, we cannot really see. Negativity sees only the negative. Hurt sees only the attack. Fear sees only the need to avoid.

We cannot really see what is, when we are lost in our own limited perception. What can we do to see more clearly? What can we see if we look through a clouded lens? What can we see if we are seeing what is not there?

When we are hurting. we look through our tears. When we look backwards at the past, we cannot see the present. When we are filled with frustration and anger, we are stuck in our rightness. When we are willing to let go and look again, we begin to see things differently.

To see clearly, we must clear our own vision. To see clearly, we need to erase the past pictures. To see clearly, we must delete old messages. To be willing to see rightly, we must have love in our hearts.

To return to love and clear vision requires that we let go, delete, undo and forgive. Wash the windows of worry and the memories of discontent and unhappiness. To be willing to see things as they are, we need to give up assumptions and undo prejudices. To be open to seeing what is, we can allow ourselves to release the past and return to the present.

What do you have inside you? Are you holding resentment, fear, pain and hatred? Are you allowing yourself to be stuck in someone else’s sick thoughts and hurting feelings? Can you consider setting your self free of old problems and pain to live fully again?

We can see what is gone only lingers on because we hold it inside. We begin to know it is ours to heal and clear and wash away. We understand that our peace will come when we stop trying to understand. We are able to see craziness, sickness, cruelty and insanity come from those who need forgiveness.

The world offers innumerable opportunities to clear our own minds of others’ ignorance. Life shows us when we hold on to the old stories, they simply are repeated again and again. We learn that where there is guilt, there is continued blame and withheld Love. We are here to learn only Love is the answer and forgiveness is the key to happiness.

And so it is we begin to awaken, to see clearly the sun shines and we are free to choose.

It is time to let go and let our Love show. We can change the world with forgiveness and clearing our sight. No need to be right about the wrongs we all do. It is time to be in love with theTrue Me and Real You.

Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight. Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
