I am grateful for this opportunity of living, breathing and being.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I practise loving-kindness, forgiveness, and compassion to all people, even those that are my opposites, or adversaries. I recognise all as the divine face of God.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I welcome new ideas, innovations, insights, and opinions. I am open to other points of view. I respect all viewpoints as valid. I respect other voices and cultivate the skill of listening.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I seek liberty and justice for all of planet Earth. I pray for a world that serves and rewards all.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I am here to love and take care of myself. Even my shadow and imperfections do not need to be hidden or repressed. I release all that I have rejected about myself, and endeavour to cultivate a deep respect for my body, mind and soul.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In the words of St. Francis of Assisi, <em>&#8220;Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Attribution: With gratitude to Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat; I have used some reference points from their \u201cSpiritually Literate New Year\u2019s Resolutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"fbPhotoSnowliftLegacyTagList\" class=\"pts fbPhotoLegacyTagList\">\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>PS.
