On a practical level it seems to include taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. We might also say it means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings, etc. It also seems to include acknowledging them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting their individuality and idiosyncrasies.Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .Grace is accepting life's victories with ease- and showing the same style when things get a little bit harder. Grace is making the extra effort but making it look effortless. It's a runner's legs moving through space and a strangers unexpected act of kindness. Grace is discipline and generosity, strength and trust. It is the art of living in the moment...Becasue true grace comes when you listen- and act- with your heart....................................................... ............................................................ ............ When a human is born, the emotional mind , the emotional body is healthy. Maybe around 3 or 4 years of age, the first wounds in the emotional body start to appear and get infected with emotional poison. But if you observe children who are 2 or 3, if you see how they behave, they are playing all the time. You see how they behave, they laughing all the time. Their imagination is so powerful, and the way they dream is an adventure of exploration. When something is wrong, they react and defend themselves, but then they just go and turn their attention to the moment again, to play again, to explore and have fun again. They are living in the moment. They are not ashamed of the past, they are not worried about the future. Little children express what they feel, and they are not afraid to love. The happiest moments in our lives are when we are playing just like chldren, when we are singing and dancing, when we are explorinhg and creating just for fun. It is wonderful when we behave like a child because this is the normal human mind, thre normal human tendency. As children, we are innocent and it is natural for us to express love. But what happened to us? What happened to the whole world?...................................................... ............................................................ ................................. Selfishness, control and fear will break almost any relationship. Generosity, freedom, and love will create the most beautiful relationship: an ongoing romance! ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .......................................................... If we want to know God's will for us, all we have to do is look to our gifts and talents-that's where we will find it!-------- TIMING IS DISCIPLINE!!!!.............................................. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............ Setbacks and disappointments are something we all experience at one time or another. But if you refuse to believe in failure, you'll be able to find a way to open up all those doors that at one time you thought were closed to you forever. If you mark something down as a failure, then that's what it will be. But if you make up your mind to get the better of the situation, an experience that you once labeled as a failure can become another steppingstone towards happiness. So the next time something doesnt turn out exactly as you'd hoped, turn it around, be a fighter. Remember: it's the people who can turn a negative into a positive and bounce back who really get ahead in life. --Mary Lou Retton---................................................... ............................................................ ............. ............................................................
