“It is not our differences
— Audre Lorde
that divide us.
It is our inability to recognize,
accept, and celebrate
those differences.”
“The first step in solving a problem
— Zig Ziglar
is to recognize that it does exist.”
“The essential lesson
— Wayne Dyer
I’ve learned in life
is to just be yourself.
Treasure the magnificent being
that you are and
recognize first and foremost
you’re not here as a human being only.
You’re a spiritual being
having a human experience.”
This month’s MotM is aligned with the Astrology sign of Capricorn, an earth sign. It encourages us to recognize our potential and go after it. From Astrology42.com they describe Capricorn as being “all about hard work and professional life. Those born under this sign are more than happy to put in a full day at the office, realizing that it will likely take a lot of those days to get to the top. That’s no problem since the Capricorn personality are both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one big project for these folks, and they adapt to this by adopting a practical approach to most everything they do.” Essentially, the energy of Capricorn recognizes what needs to be done, and does what it needs to do to make it happen.
We are being encouraged to embrace the idea of recognizing what in our lives is working and what could use some improving…and then follow through with doing the work to make it happen. Another area to look into, and probably more importantly, is to recognize our gifts, our talents, and our abilities; to recognize in what way we can improve the lives of others with our abilities.
“If we are to achieve a richer culture,
— Margaret Mead
rich in contrasting values,
we must recognize the whole gamut
of human potentialities,
and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric,
one in which each diverse human gift
will find a fitting place.”
