Authority

“an expert on a subject”

We are encouraged with today’s MotD to become experts on ourselves…to be on a quest to “know thyself”…all of it…especially the deeply hidden parts of ourselves. Why? Because in order to be mindful, consciously choosing how we “respond” to any given circumstance at any give time, we need to understand those parts of ourselves that tend to take over in those moments…making us “react” in knee-jerk fashion…thus leaving us wondering afterwards…”what the hell just happened?” … ”why did I do/say that?” … “why do I keep doing that?”

On this quest to becoming an authority on ourselves, we are encouraged to recognize these reactionary parts, to get to know them, and their wants and needs. Chances are they came on the scene during our younger years as protectors in their own way. They served us well then…now it’s time to thank them and release them of their duties…or…transform their duties such that now they are truly serving us in more responsible ways.

How about you? Is being an authority a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
