Just for today I will do my work honestly

It is a new year, a new beginning. For most of us, it is the time to return to work or to start a new venture, perhaps a new job.

One of the five Reiki principles we are taught is “Just for today I will do my work honestly”

– how can we live this principle? How can we use this valuable learning to improve our self?

A very important part of living a harmonious life is honesty in dealing with one self – to be honest with oneself is to face the truth in all things… Sometimes we choose to perceive our reality to be different or deny the truth about the reality of a situation… because of fear or rejection or guilt… yet, when we are then ultimately faced with the truth, we become disjointed, hurt or angered.

Sometimes the truth hurts us, or others and it is hard to deal with in our world – but we have the courage and strength within us, to look at our own truth deeply, examine our behaviour and then we can see the purpose(s) others and/or situations had (or still have) in our lives.

If we face our life honestly, we can more clearly see the lessons that we are here to learn… see the learning’s, understand the purpose or at least understand that there is a Divine Purpose for everything that happens to us.

Once we see and come to understand Purpose – it is then that we develop compassion for others. To then live in truth is to be aligned with your Higher Self’s purpose.

Living in truth is simple, the least complex way to live. Truth brings clarity. If you are honest with yourself, you can then project honesty onto others – it becomes easier to then “do unto others as you would have others do unto you”

Let’s do our work honestly, let’s walk our journeys honestly, let’s speak our truth, with love and mindfulness – so that we are being truthful to our Higher Self and our purpose. This truth is reinforced by love, love for yourself and others which in turn will create harmony in your life.

So, just for day, live in truth, visualised by love, and do your work honestly,

Much love and blessings for 2010,
