Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. May you be blessed to be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart, and strong enough to live the life you've always imagined. You are not alone in your daring. God is with you, in you, and all around you.

Following a minor car accident, the Japanese typically get out of their cars and bow, each claiming responsibility. In contrast, Americans are instructed by their insurance companies to avoid admitting fault. When an American living in Japan did just that – even though he knew he was to blame – the Japanese driver was so incensed by the Americans failure to show contrition that he took the highly unusual step of suing him.

Part of maturity in spirituality is to admit when you are wrong, and be willing to change. It's easy to become so willful in ego that you may refuse to admit fault even when deep inside yourself you know you are wrong. Your ego works to convince you by defending your wrong actions and developing a strategy for rationalizing them.

As you grow in spirituality you also must grow in character. Taking responsibility means telling the truth and deciding to make a commitment to never lie again even though you think at the time it would be easier.

i noticed the other day another person did a 40 day prayer forgiveness for others; i decided i needed to do the same..but i am doing a one time do.

To Jack & Ernie/orig/NY; for shady $$$ dealings w/an old car/parts.
To Jackie/Tucson; taunting & intimidating myself & others.
To Lois & Cheryl in Ky; making our working shifts together difficult & may times very unpleasant.
To Kyle in Ky; your lack of work ethics & want of $$ were astonishing...God said time to forgive...all of you..
