happy monday morning everyone!
i have been doing a lot of contemplating and thinking this last week or so & the main thing i have been thinking about is this talk that was give by president monson titled “charity never faileth”. i am sure many of you have heard it or have read it by now as well, but if you haven’t, i highly recommend it. i believe no matter who you are, what you believe, or what you don’t believe – it is a great read for any human being on the planet about love and charity.
i have been doing a lot of contemplating and thinking this last week or so & the main thing i have been thinking about is this talk that was give by president monson titled “charity never faileth”. i am sure many of you have heard it or have read it by now as well, but if you haven’t, i highly recommend it. i believe no matter who you are, what you believe, or what you don’t believe – it is a great read for any human being on the planet about love and charity.
the following is a story mentioned in the talk, as well as some words from president monson:
“A young couple, Lisa and John, moved into a new neighborhood. One morning while they were eating breakfast, Lisa looked out the window and watched her next-door neighbor hanging out her wash.
“That laundry’s not clean!” Lisa exclaimed. “Our neighbor doesn’t know how to get clothes clean!”
John looked on but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, Lisa would make the same comments.
A few weeks later Lisa was surprised to glance out her window and see a nice, clean wash hanging in her neighbor’s yard. She said to her husband, “Look, John—she’s finally learned how to wash correctly! I wonder how she did it.”
John replied, “Well, dear, I have the answer for you. You’ll be interested to know that I got up early this morning and washed our windows!”
Tonight I’d like to share with you a few thoughts concerning how we view each other. Are we looking through a window which needs cleaning? Are we making judgments when we don’t have all the facts? What do we see when we look at others? What judgments do we make about them?”
can i just say i love this story! love it love it love it! it is such a perfect example of something that happens all to frequently, especially among women. we judge and criticize and feel justified in doing it, most of the time rarely stopping to think that the problem probably lies in our own dirty windows or filters that we are viewing life through. i know i’ve done it before because it’s been something i’ve really been working on changing the past couple years. i am constantly trying to assess what filters i am viewing my life through and if they are filters of love, or filters of pride and judgement. it’s something i have to remind myself of sometimes daily, if i’m being completely honest. i am in no way perfect at this yet, there are times it is still a struggle, believe me.
two other parts that really stood out to me in the talk were:
In a hundred small ways, all of you wear the mantle of charity. Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life. May we recognize that each one is doing her best to deal with the challenges which come her way, and may we strive to do our best to help out.
Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun who worked among the poor in India most of her life, spoke this profound truth: “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
it’s with these thoughts in mind that i came up with the project…
here at live to be inspired, i want to foster an environment of love, understanding, positivity & inspiration not just on the blog but in the lives of those who read this blog. i want to start an epidemic of positivity among women & that can’t exist among women how are constantly judging and gossiping about each other, yet think about how many times you get together with friends and invariably it turns into a gossip fest or a “did you hear about…” insert negative/bad story here.
to resolve this, i want to give women something to talk about other than each other’s flaws or mistakes. other than who did or didn’t do what this week. or who did or didn’t have homemade cupcakes at their 1 year old’s birthday party. i mean, seriously? we are all smart & talented women, yet we all have been guilty of conversations like this at one point or another. conversations that have no point other than judging others in order to make ourselves look better. often times we spend way more tim tearing each other down than we do building each other up.
so how do i want to do this? by involving all of you my readers! next monday i will be starting the
something to talk about link party
and it’s a party anyone can join no matter who you are, where you live, or even how crafty you think you may or may not be.
what will you be linking up you ask?
well, i am encouraging each of you who read this blog to spend the next week cultivating an attitude of gratitude. an attitude of love. an attitude of positive thinking where you eliminate the negative from your life and don’t even think about messing with mister in-between. an attitude that builds other’s up instead of tearing them down. then i want you to blog about it, and then i want you to come here monday morning and link up to the party.
