Greetings Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that it was filled with happiness and joy for you and your family. I had a wonderful time with My Daughter and her family and their wonderful neighbors. It is so nice when people come together to have fun and enjoy each others company. I am grateful for the enjoyable time we had.

An Understanding Heart

What does it mean to have an Understanding Heart? Think about this for a moment. Does it mean you have to agree with everything that happens through out your day? No! In fact by having an understanding heart you are acknowledging something or someone or their thoughts about something without judgment. Wow! Can you imagine a world without judgment a world in which we do not have any judgment of what is happening around us. Where we live in total love and kindness towards other people and show them love even if we do not agree with them or their philosophy in life. I wonder if this is possible, I can imagine it, but is it really possible to have such an understand heart that we can overcome all judgment of all the people around us. To do this would mean we have reached total perfection we would be like God! I imagine that we all have the capability to do this, but we have to be open to releasing the judgment we carry within our hearts and minds. Now I realize that you and I cannot accomplish this in one day or even a month, it may take years to let go of the judgment we have held in our hearts for so long. We can start today by asking God or the Universe for the wisdom and guidance to have an Understanding Heart. We can ask that each time we think a thought in judgment we may be reminded to release this thought in favor of a more powerful one of love. At this time of year during the holidays everyone seems to open their heart a little more than the rest of the year. We are willing to give and show more love to our family and friends but still we fall into judgment of others. I know we all are at fault for this at one time or another. I guess you could say, but I am only human, or it is just part of reality. But I think we can change this and I believe that there is so much more we are here for than to judge the person next to us. We are here to make a choice to learn and grow from our experiences and not here to judge what some one else is doing. I am asking you today to start asking for more in your life. By asking God or the Universe each morning before you start your day that you may have an Understanding Heart in all that you experience this day. I am sure that by the end of the day you will feel so much better and that you will have achieved a major breakthrough in your life by realizing that you can make little changes within your self that bring in wonderful benefits to all people you come in contact with. As I said we may not be able to achieve this overnight but as with everything practice makes perfect.

It is kind of like we are all computers and we have been programmed for judgment. Now it is time to change the programming that is within us into a better stronger more compatible format. By recognizing what is judgment thought and deleting it immediately. It is like imagining a small Delete Button and pushing in at the first judgment thought that comes in. Then focusing on a more positive thought, it will become easier to do this as you allow yourself to be more aware of your thoughts during the day. Please believe in yourselves enough to know you are a very special being and that you are here for a special purpose this purpose is to bring more love into this world and to raise your level of consciousness so that we can heal the wounds that judgment has brought to our earth and its people.

Honesty I had no clue that I would know what to write this day as I started this newsletter. I am surprised to reread what I have written and I believe that there must be a reason I am writing it. I always ask for Divine guidance when I am writing so that I will get the right message out to those of you who need it at the time. I know that I will challenge my self each day to have an Understanding Heart and to let go of any judgment that may come into my mind. I hope that you will do the same.

Here are some exercises you may practice each day to have a more understanding heart.

When someone says something you do not agree with do not argue just say “I understand”.

When you have an unkind thought pop up in your mind visualize the delete button and push it. Then think of a more positive thought. This thought can be something totally different from your previous one. Like a beautiful field of flowers. Or of something that makes you smile like a hug from someone you love.

I would love to hear what you do each day to have an understanding heart and to keep your thoughts positive. Please email me at Julie@ticklesandsaprkles.com with your comments.

Each month I receive many wonderful emails from my readers and I am so very thankful I have such wonderful people in my life. I thank you for taking the time to read “Staying on Track by Staying Positive”.

If you have an idea that you think may be helpful to write about in this newsletter please contact me at Julie@ticklesandsparkles.com I look forward to hearing from you.
