What An Order

Most people

have a

God,

of their

understanding,

that they

worship

on a

regular basis.

The rituals of most who worship a Higher Power include a

request to be forgiven for any wrongdoings.

Wrongdoings are usually evil thoughts and evil actions

which are not of service to self, others or your Higher Power.

Lying, cheating, stealing, character assassination, greed, and

the list goes on, are some of the more common moral errors.

The penalty for not living a moral life or not admitting when you

have made a mistake is to live a life filled with guilt and shame.

A life filled with remorse can never be happy, joyous and free.

"There is no person so severely punished,
as those who subject themselves
to the whip of their own remorse."            ~Seneca

You must have faith that a Higher Power will forgive you

of your past moral lapses, if you can forgive yourself.

To forgive yourself you must clean house and let go and let God.

Admit to yourself, to God, and another human being, the

exact nature of your wrongs.

Priest, preacher, teacher, friend, mentor, stranger or anyone

who speaks the same language as you will be a satisfactory

choice to listen to your story. (Notice: No Family)

Pets, the Chinese laundry man, or the Armenian taxi cab driver,

do not qualify unless you speak their language.

To look at ones self and take a honest moral inventory

may seem impossible, what an order.

I can't go through with it, should become,

I must do it.

"It's not what you look at that matters,
it's what you see."                                        ~Henry David Thoreau

You can do it.

Millions of people do it as a daily,

if not as an every Friday, Saturday or Sunday routine.

If you want your religion to be different, pick a different day.

Most people take their moral inventories and make them a part of their prayers.

"Repentance is accepted remorse."                    ~ Anne Sophie Swetchine

Clean up the wreckage of the past and learn to live in today.

Could have done, would have done and should have done,

are not islands that need to be visited if you want a happy vacation.

Ask your Higher Power or a friend and they will gladly

provide you with a boat to get you off those deserted islands.

Staying close to the will and the course of your Higher Power

is the best advice to avoid being lost at sea.

Today, may your ship be blessed so that you will not

run aground on any hidden immoral reefs and sand bars.

Today, may your course be a smooth sail towards your happy destiny.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
