"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
LOVE IS THE GOLDEN RULE
​
"Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned not given" -Hussein Rishna
​
The Golden Rule of Life is a moral and ethical obligation that is guided by Love. Do as you would like to be done by. Your actions affect other people and most importantly yourself. What you put out will come back to you. When you feel wrongly done, you can seek justice appropriately and know that it is better to forgive and bless in order to move on to release yourself from the perceived burden.
Dwelling in Love is our highest expression of ourselves. Practice the Ingredients of Love: Patience, kindness, humility, courtesy, generosity, unselfishness, good temper, guiless, and sincerity.

BE PRESENT
Do you find yourself reliving the past and thinking more about the future? If so, you are not present in your life. Being present is treasuring each moment and fully engaging in life. When we are present we are attentive to ourselves and others. We pay attention to how we are treating ourselves and whether negative self-talk overrides opportunities to love and care for yourself. When we learn to be present with ourselves, we can be present with others and create better relationships. Do not miss your life by not being present. Live here now! Here are some points for self-reflection to consider:
-What valuable lessons have you learned from the past and move on?
-Do you pay attention to sensations of scent, sight, hearing, taste, and touch?
-Do you multitask without focusing fully on one task?
- Can you accept things as they are and not how you wish they would have been?
-Do you entertain stories in your head that keep you mired in the past?
Excerpt taken from "Journey to Wholeness: Reflections for Transforming Your Life", by Dr. Jean Marie Farish. Available on Amazon and Xlibris.
Set your intentions to be present. Be in the flow of life and become more productive. When you find yourself focused on the past, feeling worrisome and burdened, do not engage with the thoughts see them as clouds passing by and reflect on why this is showing up for you. It is time to let go and feel the freedom of being present in your life. After all, we are creating our lives each moment. Journal on the above and ... See where it takes you.

ACCEPTANCE
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they life" -Lao Tzu
Do you try to control the outcome of life circumstances? Do you go against the flow of life? Do you find yourself disappointed as a result of expectations? We cannot fix what has already happened. It takes a heart of Love to let go and surrender, flow of life, and trust that your are just where you need to be to learn and grow. When we are struck we are not present with life.
Accepting ourselves and life events may seem to be passive, but it is not resignation but an active step on your path forward to create something new. Accept yourself with love and self-compassion and you will free yourself and open the space to create something new: Reflect on the following:
-How do you feel when you resist accepting something in which you have no control?
-How does expectations increase suffering?
-How can acceptance help you experience life more deeply?
-Do you focus more on what people think about you?

CULTIVATING A LOVING SPIRIT WITH GOOD TEMPER
"Love is a universal energy and divine capacity. As we ativate the love within, the expression of the energy of love creates an atmosphere in which another person's growth process may be reactivated and love released" -Eric Butterworth

As stated by Henry Drummond, we are inclined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weakness. We speak of it as a mere infirmity of nature, a matter of temperament, not a things to take into very serious account in estimating a man's character. And yet here, right in the heart of the analysis of love, it finds a place... Condemn it as one of the most destructive elements of nature".
Good Temper is truly caring for ourselves in a loving way. The energy of anger lingers in our energy feel and is hard to shake. Be the highest expression of LOVE with GOOD TEMPER. Take the time to be with yourself in a loving way. It will impact your presence in the outer world.
