I was looking at my girls the other day, and kind of wondering why their teachers had reported that they seemed to lack confidence in the classroom setting.  It occurred to me that a good remedy for their lack of confidence would be to give them more positive re-reinforcement through the words I speak to them at home.  When I actually thought about it, I realized I was probably correcting and reprimanding them a lot more than I was speaking encouragement and uplifting phrases to them.   I wonder how many others do that? I decided I would work at looking for the good and telling them at least three positive things about themselves each day.

A Course in Miracles, a well known text that espouses spiritual truths, speaks about the need for us to “defend the truth“, and to defend the innocence of our brothers and sisters,  since there is actually a subconscious tendency within ourselves and creation to do the opposite as a result of mankind’s fall from grace.”  The truth according to the Holy Scriptures is  that God is Love and His glory is everywhere present (The whole earth is full with His glory, Isaiah 6:3).  We simply need to acknowledge the light of God everywhere to become more aware of it; instead of blocking it by looking for the “bad” in others.   And the more we acknowledge the presence of good and Light, the more we experience and become aware of God.

It’s easy, and almost natural in this world because of it’s fallen state to be critical of someone and look for the worst.   But this way of looking at things actually blocks us from seeing the Light of God…and we do want to look for the Light of God in creation because it’s through our personal awareness of the presence of God that we will increase our peace, power, and true prosperity.

If you’re not already an expert at looking for the good and speaking Love and upliftment to others, why don’t you try this today!?  It will not only benefit the one you are speaking to, but it will benefit you as well!

Until next time…peace.
