Unity Project: July - Being ONE with Ourselves

Summer is finally here! Let's celebrate the vacation season and the easier way of living during this beautiful season!

I take advantage of this pause to think over the fact that if we want to become ONE with all and the entire universe, first we must start by being ONE with ourselves. Debbie Ford, in her book The Dark Side of the Light Chasers tells us that each part of ourselves that we do not like and reject, keeps us from being complete and apart from others. How can we attain ONENESS with the whole universe if we are not ONE with ourselves first?

I suggest, for this month, that we greet one side of ourselves that we do not like. It could be my lack of patience. Let's try to unfold the hidden side of this fault. It's been useful sometimes! Because of my impatience, I have made things move ahead on a particular event by pushing my colleagues whom I believed to be too slow. It could be my lack of tolerance towards people speaking on and on to say nothing. I should not forget that it happened to me often to try to have a conversation with people that I did not know too well or who made me feel uncomfortable, so I would shoot the breeze.

Take a moment to think about yourself and try to accept one side of yourself that you keep hidden because you do not like it. Be at peace with this part of yourself by recognizing the good side of it.

I wish you a wonderful Summer!
