Elders Meditation September 26

Elder's Meditation of the Day September 26
"No one likes to be criticized, but criticism can be something like the desert wind that, in whipping the tender stalks, forces them to strike their roots down deeper for security."
--Polingaysi Qoyawayma, HOPI

You move toward and become that which you think about. Creating a vision is what guides our lives. If we get off track with our vision, then we experience conflict. Conflict is nature's way of telling us we are not in harmony. Criticism can be a way for one human being to help another. Often our Elders will give us criticism. This feedback is intended to be helpful. Criticism from our Elders helps us grow strong.

Great Spirit, today, if I need it, please provide me positive criticism.

Positive criticism, now there's a term.
It comes from the people that we love and respect.
And it comes from their respect for us.
When they see us acting in inappropriate ways, it is their love for us that causes them to speak out about that.
If we are not too caught up in our need to be right...
those voices will set us back on our best path.
