Self Acceptance is the Key to Inner Peace

Author Katherine T Owen says that the way to self acceptance is to practice forgiveness she should know because her personal story inspired this wonderful e-book which she wants to share with you entirely without charge.

She says….

“When I became ill in my twenties and did not have the help I needed, I felt fear and anger. I knew if I was to find the strength to stay alive, and hopefully recover, I needed to find inner peace.
And so, I developed and lived a practice of forgiveness and acceptance, both self acceptance and of others.
We can apply the forgiveness exercise – “the release” – to every difficulty in our life. The forgiveness it brings allows us to move ever forwards on the journey towards self acceptance and inner peace. We often can’t control our circumstances, but we can forgive our way out!”

Has The Law Of Attraction Stabbed You In The Back?

tonybee — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:56:31 +0000

The law of attraction is meant to bring you everything you want right?

Just stick it on your wallpaper or get a fridge magnet with the image of what you want, a Ferrari, a million pounds, the man or woman of your dreams, you name it you got it! Right? No! – It isn’t that simple

Backstabbed might sound like a very harsh word, but that exactly how many people feel when instead of what they want they attract unwanted experiences into their lives. And that is even when they they really believe in the power of the Law of Attraction!

The secret of the Law of attraction is…..

No secret at all! The Law of Attraction DOES work, whether we believe in it or not, it always works for everyone, with perfect precision every single time. It never stabs anyone in the back. EVER! In fact it only can bring you what you are emotionally attuned to.

If you are sending out greed and avarice or other negative emotional signals out into the universe, how can you expect something positive in return?

To manifest the life you want, you need to feel good, happy and joyous and you do this by….

Being aware of your feelings “in the moment”.

Should I Tell The Truth

tonybee — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 11:43:37 +0000

Ever asked yourself should I tell the truth?

The truth will set you free is a biblical quote from John 8:32 and, like me, when you hear that you probably nod in silent agreement but do you tell the truth and indeed should you? We are often strangely reluctant to tell or indeed receive the truth, why is that?

Perhaps the answer lies in this quote by Gloria Steinem, American Feminist, Journalist and Women’s Rights Activist “The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.”

What is a truth? The dictionary definition is ‘proven fact, actuality or standard’ but when we ‘tell the truth’ what we are doing is not usually just stating a fact but stating an opinion or belief which we have. We do this with sincerity because we believe it to be the truth and it is. It is – OUR truth.

The trouble with that is that OUR truth is sometimes based on incomplete or downright misleading ‘facts’ and often slewed by our interests the intent of the person or organisation who provided us with the proof.

Before asking ‘Should I tell the Truth’ ask yourself what is the truth anyway?

The fact is that many if not most ‘facts’ are presented by people or interest groups who have an interest in persuading us to their way of thinking and for many of us that’s fine as long as they support our existing beliefs or positions.

We are justified in being cautious about adopting new beliefs. A truth can only be as good as the quality of information we have right now. What is true now, in this moment, may not be true in the next second, hour, day, year from now. Truth has a way of changing over time.

What though if when a proven truth is stated, uncovered or revealed and it doesn’t support your current beliefs? That can be irritating can’t it? The process of discovering we could have been wrong is a real challenge and brings down our spirits. The natural tendency is to resist, be in denial, to defend our position and fight our corner.

This natural resistance is what makes it difficult to tell others the truth, most people don’t want to know something that changes their established view of the world, what they want is validation of their own beliefs. Why?

Ok. you know that your friend is taking the wrong path and ask yourself Should I tell the truth?

Will it do any good anyway? Enter our old friend the Ego. Ego driven people always think they’re right. It is for them to decide fact from fiction. Once they form a belief then it becomes a truth and therefor THE truth to which all others should subscribe. Others beliefs must pass through their firmly fixed filters before they can be considered facts and since their views define their image of themselves they are unshakable.

Insecurity is probably the commonest reason why people don’t want to face the truth. Their self-esteem and self-confidence are threatened by any suggestion that they may be wrong in an established belief.

When you tell what you believe to be the truth about what you think or feel to an insecure person you probably believe you are doing so to help them however they often view it as an attack on their beliefs or character. They only want to hear it so you ask ‘Should I tell the Truth?’ Is it worth the hassle?

Only you can judge that. Is your truth actually THE truth or are you that ego driven, insecure person intent of imposing your version of the truth on others? Is your truth THE truth? Difficult isn’t it.

The cost of avoiding truth is freedom. It does courage to accept the truth, or facts that do not support your current beliefs or opinions. It take an enlightened soul to realise that there are many truths and you may not have all the answers.

When first revealed, this truth may well piss you off; however, once you get over it, the joy of freedom of allowing others to offer alternatives to your beliefs and fostering the freedom to examine others will fill your heart with joy.

Instead of asking ‘Should I tell the truth?’ it may help to ask your self ‘How would it would it help to share my truth?’

Thats my opinion anyway, and that’s the truth!

An Opportunity to Love

tonybee — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:22:32 +0000

Today is a new opportunity to love.

Every day is a new opportunity to love and give kindness.

Whatever happened yesterday is now in the past. It’s just an echo and you can choose whether you keep that echo ringing in your ears today or let it fade away to its yesterday home.

Love is not martyrdom. Love is not doing everything for everyone else and getting upset that they don’t behave the way you want them to in return. That’s just neediness or anger or playing the victim, or manipulation.

Love gives without expectation of return. Love is its own reward. Love is kind because kindness is its own reward.

Love is not judgement and criticism given freely in an attempt to improve someone or improve their situation. Love is helpful and kind. Love helps improve another’s situation so that they improve in their own way and in their own time. Love supports and brings joy and builds an atmosphere of confidence for those who want improve themselves.

Acceptance

Love accepts others as they are; faults and all. Love says “You are who you are – I am who I am; I love you”.

Love accepts that we all have faults; that we are human and have our frailties; that it is up to each one of us to be the best we can be and improve ourselves and our situations when and if we are willing.

Love chooses to make each day a joy. Love chooses to be kind. Love treats each day as a gift; each breath as a gift; this life as a gift; each challenge or problem as a gift and an opportunity to learn. Love rejoices in it all.

Honesty

Love can be tough too. Love is honest and honesty can be hard to hear. Love is tough with itself so that improvements can be made in order to become more loving. Love tells it like it is with generosity and truth. Without agenda.

Love is able to let go of those relationships or situations which are not nurturing and sustaining and to move on. Moving on; moving away from an impossible situation; doesn’t mean a lack of love. It is an act of love for the self but it is not selfish. Moving away from and letting go can sometimes be the kindest and most loving thing to do for all concerned.

Love can be sent back into the situation without being present. When love decides it is harmful emotionally or physically to stay in a damaging environment; it will move on in peace. Love can be tough.

Love does not deal out recriminations. What is done is done.

Your opportunity to love

Live every day as a new opportunity to love yourself, your life, your environment, your circumstances and those around you with kindness and gratitude. Love your challenges and problems with gratitude as you allow them to help you to grow stronger and even more loving.

Love, learn, grow every day. Love is its own reward.

World Peace | The Lion Shall Lie Down with the Lamb

tonybee — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:58:19 +0000

World peace somehow doesn’t seem so impossible does it when we see how well these bosom buddies get on.

The phrase “the lion shall lie down with the lamb” is a much quoted phrase from the Christian Bible, but look for yourself – its not there! It is misquoted!

In the King James version ”it’s the wolf that dwells with the lamb” in other versions it’s a leopard that lies down with a kid, and “the calf and the young lion and the fatling together.” (Isaiah 11:6). But what about the Lion, the Bear and the Tiger – how would they get along?

Just fine apparently, and if there is hope for them then there certainly is for the rest of us!

Setting an Example for World Peace?

This unlikely trio, Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger have established an unusually strong bond.

You might think that they would be mortal enemies and indeed if they ever were to meet in the wild I dare say they would be so it is stunning to see their unique and genuine friendship in these intimate pictures.

Rescued eight years ago during a police drugs raid in Atlanta, Georgia , the three friends were only cubs at the time and barely two months old.

They had been kept as status symbol pets by the drug barons.

When they were delivered to the Noah’s Ark Animal Rescue Centre in Locust Grove, Georgia , the decision was made to keep the youngsters together, because of their budding rapport.

‘We could have separated them, but since they came as a kind of family, the zoo decided to keep them together,’ said Diane Smith, assistant director of Noah’s Ark.

‘To our knowledge, this is the only place where you’ll find this combination of animals together.’

The Lion could well lie down with the Lamb and this proves it!

Living with the zoo’s founders for the past eight years, Shere Khan, Baloo and Leo have now moved to a purpose-built habitat where the US public can now witness first hand their touching relationships.

‘We didn’t have the money to move them at first,’ said Diane.

‘Now their habitat is sorted and they have been moved away from the children’s zoo areas where the public couldn’t really get a good look.

’It is possible to see Baloo, who is a 1000lb bear, Shere Khan, a 350lb tiger and Leo, who is also 350lbs, messing around like brothers.

‘They are totally oblivious to the fact that in any other circumstance they would not be friends.’

Handled by Charles and Jama Hedgecoth, the zoo’s owners and founders, the three friendly giants appear to have no comprehension of their animal differences.

Baloo and Shere Khan are Very Close

‘That is because they rise early, and as Leo is a lion, he likes to spend most of the day sleeping.

‘It is wonderful and magical to see a giant American Black Bear put his arm around a Bengal and then to see the tiger nuzzle up to the bear like a domestic cat.

‘When Leo wakes up the three of them mess around for most of the day before they settle down to some food.’

Surprisingly for three apex predators with the power to kill with a single bite or swipe of their paw, they are very relaxed around each other.

‘They eat, sleep and play together,’ said Jama.

‘As they treat each other as siblings they will lie on top of each other for heat and simply for affection.

‘At the moment they are getting used to their new habitat.

‘Shere Khan is being quite reticent about the move, but Baloo, the bear, is very good at leading him on and making him feel comfortable and safe.’

Explaining that the three ‘brothers’ have always seemed to share a unique bond, Charles said: ‘Noah’s Ark is their home and they could not possibly be separated from each other.

‘You just have to remember who you’re dealing with when you are with them, though.

‘It’s when you forget that these fellows are wild animals that you get yourself in trouble.’

The trio’s new habitat had to be constructed carefully, in order to accommodate its occupants.

Jama said: ‘The clubhouse had to be very sturdy for the guys, because they all sleep in it together,’

She added: ‘We had to include a creek, because the tiger and the bear both like to be in water.’

So what are the lessons for World Peace?

We hear so much about how or even if we should deal with or negotiate with terrorists or dictators.

Here are the lessons for negotiating world peace…

‘You just have to remember who you’re dealing with when you are with them.’
‘It’s when you forget that who these fellows are that you get yourself in trouble.’
Their new habitat has to be constructed carefully, in order to accommodate all its occupants.

Then the lion shall lie down with the lamb/tiger/bear or even you and me!
