If I Am Wise

by Unity

If I Am Wise ...


As I speak words to help another, if I am wise,


I will listen very closely to what I have to say..


for I am saying what I, myself, need to hear.


As I tell another what to do, if I am wise,


I will listen very closely to the action I tell them


to take ... for it is the action I, myself, need to take.


As I spend my time trying to get others to hear


what to do for their own good and explain


what they need to do to feel good,


if I am wise, I will notice I,myself, have


not done what I have recommended.


As I am speaking ... I do not do. I tell others


to watch themselves and I stop watching


myself in the process. I am working on them,


instead of practicing the wisdom myself


shared from my very own mouth and heart.


People come into my life so I can explain


what I most need to hear. If I miss that,


if I think it is only them with the problem ...


I keep preaching and never go beyond


to hearing my own message.


When I am wise, less and less people will


show up mirroring to me


what I most need to see - for I will have


fixed the biggest problem of all,


myself.
