Ghandi had a famous philosophy that said, “My life is my message.” And I think he absolutely exemplified that philosophy of life. When I think of him, the phrase that comes to mind is, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” That is exactly what his life represented and demonstrated in thought, word and deed.
So this quote started me thinking about what I want my life to say if it is speaking for me!
The challenge for this week is to ask the following questions:
If your life is your message, what is it saying?
This is not the flowery, idealistic version! We’ll get to that but for now, let’s get a reality check. Take a long, hard look at your life. Now what is it saying?
I think most days my life message is – I am really a very kind person, but only if you are nice to me, agree with me and I have had my coffee!
Sample thoughts: I have the best of intentions, but can’t seem to follow through. It isn’t really wrong if no one gets hurt. It’s really not my fault. I just can’t help it.What would you like your life to say?
This is where we can be idealistic. What do you really want your life to be about?
I want my life to say – Live kindly, love fully, do your best and let it go.
Samples thoughts: You can do anything if you try hard enough. All that really matter is love. Do unto others…..What changes do you need to make?
For me this means:
- Think, speak and act from a place of kindness, not judgment. - Consider what I can give in my relationships, instead of what I can get. - Do everything as if it really matters and release expectations for the outcome; if it doesn’t matter don’t waste my time. Sample thoughts: Focus my attention on my priority of the moment. Be present in my life and enjoy the experiences. Spend more time listening to my heart than my head. When in doubt, speak from a place of love.
