Today I want to teach you something important. Actually, I dont know where to begin, there's just so many things thats going through my mind so I'll just say whatever comes first.
So let's begin with INTEGRITY. Integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody's looking. Its so easy to do what's right...when you're being watched, when someone's guiding you but when you are on your own, its a totally different story. There will always be two voices inside your head, so which are you going to choose?
They say that there are no good or bad, right or wrong. There's just ACTION and there's just CONSEQUENCE equal to that action. But if you want to live a life of peace and happiness, a life filled with love and joy choose "good" actions that will bring "good" consequences.
Choose what's right even when it hurts...even when its difficult. Choose what's good even if the reward of the "bad" outweighs the good. Why? Because there is a law in the Universe..."In every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Some will tell you that its the law of Physics, some will say that its the Law of Karma but whatever it is, the truth is, there is a Force that balances everything.
In simple words, whatever you give out will come back to you. Whatever you sow, you shall reap. So sow goodness and compassion. Sow love and understanding. Sow kindness and tolerance. Sow honesty and fairness. In this way, you will cushion yourself from all the "badness" and the "wrongness" of the world.
I'm not saying that you won't feel any difficulties if you're good, I won't say that you won't be betrayed or rejected coz you probably would but rest assured that when it happens, Angels will come your way to help you and heal you. Know that, believe that coz its true.
Sometimes you're going to make mistakes. You're going to to choose what is "wrong" because sometimes, its not always clear which is wrong and which is right. Its not always black and white. There are other shades of gray too. But sooner or later you will know if you're on the right track. Asking yourself these questions might help, Are you at peace? Are you happy? Are the people you love happy? Is your conscience clear? When you face God right now, can you honestly tell Him that you've been a faithful child? If you answered "NO" to these things please back off, analyze what you've been doing and make the necessary corrections. Say sorry, pray for the people you've hurt, change your ways, learn and move on.
It's ok to make mistakes, for as long as you learn from it, for as long as you don't deliberately do it. My father once told me, "When you know what is right, there's no excuse in choosing what is wrong." When he told me that, he was teaching me to be responsible over my own actions. There's no sense in knowing something and not practicing what you know. Wisdom is a great responsibility because you have to prove it in your actions. But yes, believe me I know that its easier said than done especially when emotions are involved. So, pray, that God enlightens you, that God guides you.
At the end of the day, we all want to be happy. And yes, you have all the right to pursue whatever brings you your bliss...just make sure that you're not hurting other people in the process. If you could help others to be happy, well and good, but if you can't, just try NOT to be the cause of their unhappiness. Because sooner or later the consequences of your actions will come back to haunt you or help you. The difference will depend on your actions.
Choose wisely.
I love you so much.
Love,
Mommy
