Not me, but you...
~ Bhagavad-Gita
Spiritual Book of Hinduism
Dear Hearts,
Wouldn’t it be interesting if we were to wear a meter throughout our day that registered each time we said, “I” “me” and “mine”? At the end of our day we might be shocked at the results!
When our words revolve around “I” “me” and “mine”, it’s often because we’re living a small, egocentric life. But our whole life’s purpose is to break out of the ego driven chains of “I”, “me” and “mine”.
The more evolved spiritually we become, the more we’ll find ourselves using the words “you” and “yours” instead of “I” and “mine”. When we begin to shift our words to “you” and “yours”, it brings us into a whole different consciousness. Instead of a narrow focus on ourselves and our needs and wants, we begin an expansive focus on others and what their needs and wants might be. When we shift our words from “me” to “you”….our thinking paradigm changes.
We’re here to live big lives that express the glory of God through our words, actions and service to others. We’re here to make a difference on this planet, so our thinking cannot stop with “I” “me” and “mine” and what "I" need and what "I" want. Our thinking and actions are to reach out to “you” and “yours” and what “your” needs are. Let’s join with all the great souls that are working to make this world a better place…by focusing on “you” and “yours”.
Today...may our motto be, "What can I do for you?"
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
