Currie's Gratitude 2 January 2013



We never really know who [or what] sees us BEing
When our thoughts are small
Mean
Judging others
Comparing ourselves
Outsides and insides all jumbled-up
Together.

Of course I know that BEliefs are strong in some of us. They run deep, to our very core.

And yet…

I think of how sometimes I have acted and plotted and made elaborate plans to set someone straight, get back at someone who hurt me, and wanted to write an entire script full of intricately detailed stage directions to right some wrong in this crazy World I call Home.

It doesn’t work, all that plotting and scheming. Largely BEcause it lacks INTEGRITY. And a person acting without INTEGRITY is like a sailboat without a rudder. Spinning round at the mercy of the winds making no discernable progress toward only away from.

Integrity gives simple directions. They are easy to follow. They are the sort of directions that work in all manner of situation and circumstance…

Praise More. Expect The Best. Ask Just Once. Let Go. Never Give Up. Feel Fearlessly. Make More Mistakes. See The Person BEhind The Attitude. Lead. Laugh. Love Yourself. Love The Unlovable. Love The Frustration. Laugh Even MORE. Add A Challenge. Take A Flying Leap. Think Less. Trust The Process. Live Into The Confusion.

ACT. With Integrity.

I love you, Currie

It isn't often I find someone writing about integrity but surely it's something I can relate to whole-heartedly and I believe only those who possess that inner compass can truly understand what you've shared here. Wonderful musings, thanks!
Best~
