Thursday Thought: Be Whole

There are many parts to each of us. While we feel
compelled to find and establish internal consistency
among our various parts, truthfully our lives are full of
contrasts and inconsistencies. It is important for us
to see and acknowledge the different parts that
comprise us. Our "wholeness" depends upon these
differences. I know of no human being who is just
one thing. Those people who live whole and full
lives are those who entertain the differences within
themselves.

Many of the quick answer self-help books on
the market fail to teach us that each person's
life is many things, and that is perfectly alright.
Savor your different parts, learn to use them to
advance your spiritual growth, learn to see the
differences in other's lives. This seems to be a
far more realistic way to find happiness, richness,
and "wholeness" in our lives.
