"Live And Let Live" Are Not Just Words To Me Anymore !!
Permalink  

Our program tonight at my Tuesday night meeting was on "Live And Let Live". It's never been my favorite slogan. "Don't React" and "How Important Is It" hold down #1 and #2 for me. Tonight it came to me how this program is so intertwined. If I live my life with the principles of this program at the forefront of my mind, I have no choice but to let others  live their life without any interference form me, whether that be vocal or silently questioning their choices.  

I realized tonight by connecting the dots of this program that "Live And Let Live" is "Letting Go And Letting God", is "Not Reacting", is "Admitting I Am Powerless", is "Taking Care Of Myself First", is "Putting The Focus On Myself" all rolled into one. If I always "Live And Let Live" I can have serenity and peace of mind........ all I have to do is accept and practice the above. Only four words.........four simple and very powerful words.

HUGS,

RLC

RLC,

I just loved to read this first thing in the morning.   I am pretty tired this AM staying up late last night with severe weather in my area.  Thanks for posting it, you supercharged my batteries.

Perfect! I love how you put this.

You are so right. The serenity that I have since that all came together for me has made my whole life better. Took a while of course, but gradually over a year or so it just came natural. Still does.

I am so glad you posted this. Takes a huge bunch of weight off the shoulders to live like this.

hugs sir, debilyn

Aloha RLC...Thanks for the "Aha moment" share. I remember the times I've also had this one myself.  I think of it as "spider webbing" One point connected to another to another and to another and when I step back and look with gratitude the program appears like a intricate spider web glistening in sunlight.   You are absolutely right on how you describe it.   (((hugs))) smile
