Your WISDOM Note for the week of: May 6th, 2012

       "Honouring Self" 

Sometimes we may think that we are doing a good job honouring ourself. 

Most of us have been conditioned with rules around how to "not be selfish" or "self-focused".  This has been one of the greatest tragedies of the human race: that it is somehow wrong or bad to honour, devote time to, place importance on  knowing and building SELF.

Consider what you are teaching your children, your family, your employees...by sacrificing yourself; by not being kind or self-loving.  Are you teaching them that you are unimportant? ...last priority? ....less than?
  
We look outside of ourselves constantly for knowledge, wisdom, love, and validation. 

Instead, look WITHIN.  The only way you truly begin to develop inner confidence, self-knowledge, and self-worth is by embracing the relationship you have with yourself.  If it is a relationship that lacks attention; then begin with that.  Spend moments in quiet contemplation and observe. 

Observe yourself at all times, listen to your inner dialogue, feel the emotions that you experience and explore what they mean. 

Discover the infinite existence of your SELF....and then continue to explore and honour your 'SELF' throughout this lifetime.
  
 
 Re-learn the blessing of honouring self!  Namaste!
