CHALLENGE: Describe in One Sentence or Less

[markpierre]

Hey the ego doesn't just vacate and give us some time to ourSelves, so that we can author nice mission statements and contemplate silence. We have to continually remember and consider where those statements are coming from.
And that's only day one, in the first five minutes.. Two and most of three days to go.

[aranuk]

there are two types of people, those who think they can and those who think they can't, and they are both right.

Occam's Razzor, states that: The simplest answer is usually the best answer.
I lke simple.
Many words, tend to complicate.
Those who know, do not speak in many words, but those who do not know, will write a book.

Unconditional Love and Peace, uncomplicates... everything.

love and peace

I've tried no less than five times, included rebooting my computer to leave a response. Grrr. And now I see you've out done the first: Unconditional Love and Peace, uncomplicates... everything.

I wanted to send love and peace right back to you, sirdipswitch!

Upgraded Response: Sending Unconditional Love and Peace, uncomplicates... everything.

You are what you think, but not what you think you are.

Hello PurpleLama,

Your words alway seem to flow with silent content behind the written message, and that's what this sentence says to me, as well. One steps out of the equation, whence understood.

With heart,

Dear John XXX,
I posted a provocative statement (positive only) that makes me feel too vulnerable at this time. So I've deleted it.
Respectfully,

Seeing the love in others, puts my ego to pasture. How do I do this for myself: raise above the rabble and babble of my knocked about, self inflicted lower dimensional selves to breathe as myself, who I really am? With less noise, my quest is to love who I am in my heart - that´s who I want to be.

Thanks for asking WhiteCrowBlackDeer

Wow, Zebra,

Nothing, no thing, not one more thing...need be added. Only that I've copied this part as a reminder for myself: "With less noise, my quest is to love who I am in my heart - that´s who I want to be. "

Respectfully,
Paula

Great topic. This is what I would like to add:

Learning to be unjudgemental is very difficult and is my mission because being unjudgemental is being willing to not judge someone for being judgemental, now THAT is the challenge, but it is a goal that could heal the world.

Oh, How much I resonate with that one.

Can I borrow from someone else?

“All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.”

Tennessee Williams quotes (American playwright. 1911-1983)

Hello Limor,

That's the glitch for me, "...because being unjudgemental is being willing to not judge someone for being judgmental.." When I get that part cleared up, I've been promised a free, one way ticket to that healed world you are working on. So, I'm thinking that I should split the ticket with you.

There are no limits, just beliefs.

(an example of this is, 'I see what I believe'.)

Wow, Realeyes,

I'm hoping that your friends, family, and those who pass by appreciate your Light. Hardly any form left to you ...

Peace, my Family-Friend,

Now you are being too modest. You are part firecracker and part chocolate pudding.
Toodles,

Hello Paula,

Come on in, there is enough room under this umbrella, I 'm afraid ;)

I am having a real challenge with this one.. I doubt if I judge people, it is more about behaviours and I can't get my head around it. Help!

[M6*]

Anything "new and exciting" that I could possibly Think, Say, or Do...has,
in all probability, already been done by somebody....somewhere;-). M6*

[M6*]

Very Good Stan! :-) M6*

It's easier to say that you love someone than to actually love someone.

Hello Paula,

Please past the umbrella, I'll hold it for a while. I don't know how much help I can give. Yes, thanks for the clarification/reminder. Behaviors.

For awhile, I tried short sprints of visiting time; that’s avoidance and not a solution. I tried seeing the good; not too successful there. The biggest breakthrough came when I realized that we (in this case my sister) were one another's teachers. Boink! I understood it intellectually but it hit another level. She was just doing her job. And so I changed my job description. Extremely freeing! The compassion barometer is slowly moving upward. And I’m a work in progress, too.

simply, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I appreciate your offer Paula, And you have probably helped more than you thought you will, because what you wrote is a wonderfull reminder that we are 'work in progress' when it comes to us, everyone else are responsible for their own growth and help with being our mirrors in some ways. I feel that ten years in Tibet might bring this realization to be usefull in my real life, for now, I will keep paying attention to things that could have been done differently..
A short explanation - My birth sign is Virgo. some say I am doomed just for that. what is your excuse?
