"If I destroy you, I destroy myself. If I honor you, I honor myself."
--Hunbatz Men, MAYAN
It is said, when we need love the most is when we deserve it the least. Whenever I have secret thoughts about someone else, it will put bad feelings inside myself. I will hurt myself. If I secretly hold a grudge or resentment against my brother or sister, I will be a slave to that person until I let them go. Let me remember to look at my brother in a sacred manner. Today, let me think like a Warrior. Let my thoughts toward my brothers and sisters be good thoughts. Let me remember that You are in charge. If I get upset at another person today, let me remember that the most important thing I can do is to first talk to You because when I am right with You, it is impossible to be out of harmony with my brothers and sisters.

My Creator, take my hand and guide me through today.

Great Spirit
After insight given me by one of your earth daughters
it was then that I realized to harbour anger would destroy me.
In an instant last evening my eyes were opened to a beautiful new
path and upon that path, there is no place for that last bit of
resentment I held onto.
Today I say thank you to your daughter and you, Today I forgive
the forked tongue of judgement of another. For I now know that
in harbouring anger I will only draw on that pain, when others
open doors to me.
There is a reason, a season and a lifetime those enter our lives
and now I can say I learned my lessons, not only from the past but from
yesterday. Thank you Great Spirit and Thank you earth daughter,
for an insightful lesson on life.
