The Alpha and The Omega

The start and the end. Both embued with magic. Both worth more than a passing thought.

To obtain an Alpha there must be an Omega. How a person handles each speaks to their character or lack thereof.

I have set myself some standards. A modus operandi. One I can live with while still having to view myself in mirrors. I don't intend to deviate as this deviation would cause me more pain than one who chooses to behave differently toward me. Because wherever I go I take myself with me. So my traveling companion must be one I can view in mirrors, holding my head up, with clear, bright eyes and firm resolve.

My intuition tells me that those who believe this about me will make worthier traveling companions than those who are deceived into believing other things by omission or commission.
The worthier travel companions give me great gifts. Faith, love, laughter and the occasional needed embrace. To them I give my love along with kind, careful and gentle regard. They deserve it. And so do I.

Sure as Hell

#ZodiacFacts #Capricorn Weaknesses:
Know-it-all,
Unforgiving,

Condescending, 

Expecting the worst.

I ran across this in my Twitter stream a few days ago. I see so much of myself in other aspects of this sign of the zodiac so I decided I must consider whether these weaknesses are also mine. 

Know-it-all: I would not have thought so.  I've read, though, that we are entitled to ask any question and expect to receive an answer. But the answer may not be what is expected. Therapist would say all things are in front of us it is just a matter of believing that to be true. So with these things in mind maybe I am a know-it-all!

Unforgiving: I think it is more I have problems forgiving easily. A work in progress. I know that forgiveness is an empowering act. That has been my experience. Pride is my downfall in this.

Condescending: When I was younger I believe I was guilty of this. As I've gotten older I am way less judgmental. Still I would also count this a work in progress. I said to one of my tweeps that modesty is a hallmark of mastery. She did not agree seeing modesty to be the same as false modesty. But that isn't what I mean by modesty. Modesty to me is the acknowledgment that what works for me may not work for others. That my path is my own. The allowing of all others to walk their own unique paths. In acknowledging this I believe I am making progress in this area.

Expecting the worst: I have to admit this is definitely me. As a student of Abraham and believer in The Law of Attraction I do know better. I know that worry is imagining what I do not want. I think most Capricorns tend towards Eeyore. Knowing better isn't always enough.

I like this quote from Marilyn Monroe:

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
