My Crohnstipated Life

A friend of mine was talking about taking the high road when it came to certain matters of the heart. Until today I always thought when someone used that phrase it just meant to ignore it but to those who have love and peace in their hearts it means something else. She began to talk about taking the high road and doing whatever it took to restore the peace and the love in the relationship whether it was personal or business. She then gave me the book by Ilanla Vanzant and I’m absolutely in love with her writing! So, I thought I would share this with you today.

The high road is any action taken or any word spoken with the intention of restoring peach, invoking healing or advancing love. It can be difficult to keep your eye on the road when you feel you are being dishonored or harmed in any way. Fear can also make you lose sight of the road-the fear of being abandoned, rejected or discovered. How you respond when you are faced with one of these fears is understandable. Unfortunately, in the universe, it may not be excusable.

When you are stressed, pressured or simply afraid, it is easy to be lured into being dishonest. If you are angry, it is understandable that you would want to strike out. Let’s face it, in those situations when it seems that telling a lie will save you, chances are you will consider telling the lie. Don’t do it! There is always a better way. When you deliberately trespass the boundaries of what it s good, honest, loving and harmonious, there will be hell to pay. Don’t be the one who has to pay it.

Until today, you may have allowed pressures and stress of your life to make you sink down or act low down. Just for today, look for the high road. Refuse to say anything or do anything that will not create or support peace, healing or love.
