Great reading today, is one of my favourites and helps me detach. It talks about the slogan, live and let live. It tells us to live fully, happily with joy and at the same time allow others to live as they choose without criticism and judgement from us. If we live this way it stops us trying to control and stops resentment building. The reading also goes on to say that we should avoid construing other peoples actions as intentional injuries to us.
It becomes more simple when I insert the slogan (walking it) Let go and Let God...Of course that gets me out of the picture completely...how humbling. ((((hugs))))
I too loved the reading and I especially liked that the ODAT speaks about the slogans and suggests that if we were entirely able of putting them into practice wewould be pretty close to perfection as spiritual human being.
"Live and let Live.".is a slogan that is important and the reading indicates that the most important part of this for is that we are asked to live ourselves richly happily and to fulfill our destiny. Then we are asked to let others live . Allow them to follow their own destiny without an attempt to control their actions.
I know when I first looked at this I discovered the alarming fact that I could let others live, I just had not a clue how tolive for myself .. Using the tools, the steps, slogans, meetings, prayer I discovered, little by little how to do just that one day at a time. I love the quote for the day it states:
"When our thoughts are centered on learning to live, I will be less tempted to involve my mind thoughts of how others live."
Great topic Lc
