If you live long enough and are blessed to live with a conscious intention for life and living, you will have come to the recognition and realization that life flows in and through beginnings and endings. “The flow of life reminds us that endings are beginnings, and that every sunset is a also sunrise”. Clive deLaporte. The story that is your life contains many chapters, many experiences, always yours to decide how to be used to develop the story of your life, and determine its ultimate conclusion. Don’t let the first lines define and determine the conclusion and outcome of the last lines, of the story of your life. We have enough authority and determination to decide how we are going to use the endings in life to work constructively to serve as the stepping stones of new beginnings to what is now, next, better, and eventually best for us. That Was Then, and This is Now! Sometimes we have little or limited control over the endings and beginnings in life, and other times, we have absolute and total control. It’s okay to end something that you’ve decided and determined no longer serves what is best for you now, and denies you the prospect of what is next, better and best in your future. Take time to receive clarity, to then know, communicate, and demonstrate your truth. Do so with as much loving kindness as possible. It may be painfull for others to receive, and it may be difficult for you to communicate and demonstrate, but do it anyway. Without it you remain stuck, where you are, suspended in unfavorable circumstances of indecision, as the opportunity, potential, and possibility that is your life, moves on. Saturday, November 13, 2021: World Kindness Day! “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi. Be the kindness you want to see in your life, in the world, today, and every day. Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate, doing intentional, voluntary acts of kindness. Not only when it's easy to be kind, but when it's hard to be. Happy World Kindness Day! For more detailed info on the lesson content of this blog or any other Unity Magna Ministries services contact Rev. Clive deLaporte at: admin@umagnam.org
