What is THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS? Follow the search for that answer here... (Book Excerpt #140…Note: This picks up where the last excerpt left off. For purposes of continuity, daily reading will prove very helpful.) Compassion is not always easy to give to oneself. Many people find they are not comfortable receiving this from themselves. It interrupts their “story” of “never doing it right” or “being at fault” or “falling short” or “not being good enough.” They feel that by being compassionate with themselves they are letting themselves “off the hook,” or giving themselves “a pass” regarding something they should continue to feel bad about. So to be tough on themselves, they decline to offer themselves Compassion. This allows many people who have felt bad about themselves for “not doing it right” since childhood to continue to do so. In this, they are their own hardest taskmaster. Or, as the late Walt Kelly famously said through the voice of his beloved comic strip character Pogo: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Finally, after treating themselves this way for years, the only way many people can ever feel comfortable using the tool of Compassion is to use it on others. Often it’s hard for them to even find the tool . . . it’s been so long since they’ve used it. Yet the miracle of Compassion is that if you even find the edge of it, if you even touch the tip of it, the iceberg melts. The effect is instant. The heart opens. And suddenly, when the heart opens, the Mind opens. It can hear things it could not hear before. Like the soft voice of the Soul, gently offering a larger view, a deeper understanding, a grander perspective—and quietly engaging a different agenda, a new priority, an altered purpose. Immediately, in the space of Compassion, what really matters becomes clear. Nobody who sits in the seat of Compassion finds themselves focused on irrelevant things. Compassion generates clarity. So use this gifting tool often. You will find that its effect is circular. As you give more to yourself, you will have more to give to others. As you give more to others, you will have more to give yourself. You can start at either place. It is, as all of Life . . . simply another form of Love. ================================= ================================== Visit this site: CWGConnect to find out more.

Neales dream is that everyone could read every word thats in this text. He is therefore posting the entire book, line-by-line, here on Facebook, in daily excerpts. He hopes that you will find the book as beneficial as he has.)
