I was just reading my journal and can clearly see from the distance of time how I place standards of perfection on myself that are not humanly possible. I think this poor child needs to love herself as God does and see herself as being in perfection as she is. I must always be on guard. If I can't love myself in that unconditional way, then I am not loving others as I should be. There goes that judgment again! Yes.

Meditate on courage, the opposite of fear, for half an hour. Think of the advantages of courage and the disadvantages of fear. Practice the virtue during the day. Feel that you actually possess courage to an enormous degree. Manifest it in your daily life. In a short time feel it being replaced by courage. Repeat the formula mentally, daily several times. May you attain triumph over fear by cultivating courage through the method of thinking on the opposite! Sit with closed eyes in the early morning.

I am one of those practical people who always want a safety net in life, and this prevents me from moving forward often, but maybe also from making too many mistakes??? The Servant Leadership School is making a big difference in my life already, and I am starting to challenge this tendency to always play it safe. Gotta admit, though, I have a lot of work to do before I can truly follow my heart! This woman’s plight seems familiar to me–the restless part, anyway.

Perfectly timed. I've been trying to create huge changes in family and work dynamics in mere weeks -- this idea feels much more manageable and realistic. I love this, thanks. Perfectly timed.
