LOOK BEYOND

I choose to look beyond today, beyond appearances, beyond judgments, beyond temporary feelings.  I can get caught up in thinking ‘this is the end’ and forget there is so much I can’t yet understand or see.  I can easily fall into discrimination without questioning my assumptions.  I can decide life is unfair or project my own darkness onto others when I lose touch with my inner voice.

Today I will remain mindful of the critical voice within me and recognize it as a defense I no longer require.  Rather I will look beyond and know there is more going on than I can currently discern.  I trust in the goodness of others and the value of myself.  We are all more alike than we are different.  I will look beyond the mess I see so that I can set myself and others free.
