Spiritual nature (1)

Wise people seek solutions.
The ignorant only cast blame.
-Tao Te Ching, 79

Defensiveness is a natural response to attack.

But part of being spiritual is becoming
conscious
of habitual behaviors and changing them
if they are counter-productive.

So I deliberately choose my actions.

I am a natural problem-solver. I work
with others who want to work with me.

I create harmony. I work for balance.

No matter who is right or wrong,
what can *I* do to make a difference?

How can I take this negative thing,
and make something *positive* of it?
-from Susan Page's work on Spiritual Partnership
