The Golden Rule….

Posted on by Debra Taitel

From the Holy bible to Confucius, Babylon to China the “Golden Rule” ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’  is a cornerstone for how we live our lives. It has been stated and restated by religious leaders and philosophers for centuries and it truly is a good  rule to apply to our lives

We would all like to be treated fairly, with love & understanding, and each of us try to live gracefully treating others as we wish to be treated.  We all want and  deserve to be treated with respect and hopefully make it a priority to respect others.

We  apply the Golden Rule to our lives and treat others as we wish to be treated but many times feel as if we are not treated in the way we would like. Why do you suppose this happens? I will answer the question with another question and I know you’ll see where I’m headed; do you apply the Golden Rule when it comes to how you treat YOU? How others treat you is in direct response to what you believe about AND how you treat yourself!

Do you beat yourself up from time to time? Have you ever lied to yourself about something or someone? Do you judge yourself in any way? Are you gentle with your body and treat it with respect by eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep? Do you love yourself?

Do you value YOU and all that you are? Do you care for and pamper yourself as you do for others? Have you cheated or stolen from yourself precious moments because you were too busy to really take time to cherish them?

If you have ever wondered why certain things don’t manifest in your life these are some interesting questions to meditate on. It is those deep-seated beliefs you hold that are not only outwardly felt by others but keep you stuck wondering why.

On  the opposite end of the spectrum as a point/counter point if you  wonder why people don’t do for you that which you seek or you feel as if life is a bit unfair that’s what you’ve put out there and that’s what you’ll get back! Have a look at what and how you do unto others.  It works both ways and ALL begins with YOU! 🙂

You wouldn’t lie, cheat or steal from someone so why would you do it to yourself? Respect yourself as much as you respect others. Value yourself for the loving human being that you are! Love yourself for all that you are! Care for and respect your body; it’s the only one you’ll have this lifetime!

Be kind and gentle with yourself. If you make a mistake let it go, move on! Treat yourself with the love you wish have in your life. Apply and embody the Golden Rule: Do unto YOURSELF as you wish to do for others as well as Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

Make the Golden Rule a part of your life and live it for YOU! Release your old beliefs, treat yourself how you wish to be treated, treat others as YOU wish to be treated and watch your life transform! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

The Benefits of ‘Home’ Ownership

 To own your own home is a wonderful thing. After all, you OWN it! It is your space. You can decorate to your heart’s content. Re-decorate at any time and if you are so inclined, you can completely demolish and reconfigure the whole thing!

There are many benefits to owning your home but of course, there is the responsibility for the upkeep as well. Things get old and need replacing. It has to be cleaned, vacuumed and at times, you must remove unwanted “guests” such as spiders or other nasty little free loaders.

Those of you who often read my blog can probably already guess where I’m going with this. If you are a new reader, welcome to “Daily Muse” and please read on. 🙂

Whether or not you own the ‘place’ where you live, you already have your own home. Home really IS where the heart is!Your home is your BODY and there are amazing benefits to owning it and being HOME.

Your home is your sanctuary. A place to rest and be yourself. Your home holds your answers. When you own your home which includes the space within & around it, there is ease. It is a comfortable place for your spirit to live.

When was the last time you checked in with yourself to see what is inside? When you look there do you find it decorated to someone else’s tastes? Is it a comfortable place? Does it feel safe to be there? Do you mindlessly pick up the mail (other energy) and leave it any old place? Do you take your home for granted?

Just like owning the place you live, there are benefits AND the responsibility of caring for it. How often do you tend to your own needs and what your body wants? Are you getting enough rest? Taking time to de-stress? Do you have so much of your attention outside of you that you forget to come home?

I’ve always foumd it interesting when someone says to me that they don’t have time for themselves. Here’s a newsflash…YOU need to MAKE time for you to come home! No one else can do this for you. If you’re saying ‘I’ll be home for Christmas’ why not come home NOW?

Your spiritual essence is very smart! If ‘home’ needs redecorating, there are guests that are still there from the party last week, or dare I say unwanted guests that came to the party and never left, your spirit is going to hang around until you clear out a space for it to come home to!

One way to describe ‘hanging around’ is that spaced out feeling, as if you are watching yourself in a dream. When you bring yourself back home you find clarity, you are alert, have more energy and awareness increases.

All you have to do is take a few moments each day to clean out, update and take notice of what is really YOU in there! Cleaning is good for the soul and you have the ABILITY & RIGHT to clear out anything you want to! Your body is YOURS so OWN it! Your body..Your space…Your HOME.~Shine Your Light Debbie
