Contemplation: Mirror
Mirror
Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only their best
and finest qualities.
Self-Respect
To have self-respect is to be able to
recognize and express one's own
specialties. The one who does this also uses every situation as an
opportunity to use others' specialties too. Such a person is not
caught up with the negative aspects in others, but is able to encourage
and inspire them to use their specialties. When I have self-respect I
have naturally respect for others too. I am able to understand others
and their behavior and act accordingly. I provide an environment for
others' growth. I have no complaints, as I know I can fill in within
them what is missing. To have self-respect is to be powerful and make
others powerful too.

The
Causes Of Fear (Part 2)
Yesterday we had discussed some of the causes of fear. Some more are:
• The desire to be recognized, appreciated and valued.
• Experiences of the past that have produced disappointment, insecurity, worry or emotional or mental exhaustion.
• Attachments and dependencies generate fear.
• The habit of seeing situations and people in a negative way.
• Dishonesty - When you have done things that you know are not right, you know there will be negative after effects, and this provokes fear within.
• The ego being afraid to 'die'. It justifies itself and resists. We wear masks that cover our true identity. We become selfish.
