Installing love
A friend sent this to me. Be sure you know I didn't write this. I don't know to whom the credit goes.
Now, talk about fabulous customer service!
This all rings true except I do see one error:
***
Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
TechSupport: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, " Error - Program not running on internal components." What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.

Did you catch the one piece of advice attributed to God in this parable that is incorrect? Of course, this error was a mistake by a transcriber somewhere along the way. God Himself doesn't make errors.

I knew it! It's just a question of right procedure, suitable software, and customer support!
Hmmm, High Self-Esteem jumps out at me as Ego wearing a Groucho Marx mustache and glasses hoping to be unrecognized.
I think God wouldn't say Acknowledge your limitations. God would say: You are vast and limitless! Accept your vastness.
Gloria, I agree with Paula. God would not tell us to acknowledge our limitations.
Other than perhaps finding the lesson in what the self imposed limitation has given us.
This is a good one for sure.
God would say to value ourselves, and that is a little different from the connotation of self-esteem. Good point, Charles.
And, yes, God tells us that we have no limitations! That is so freeing.
Well, no computer program is perfect!
As long as there is a me, I can understand what is meant by "acknowledge your limitations". It makes sense that only when we see our limits, can we jump beyond them.
Yes, now, One, I look at "acknowledge your limitations" in a different light. Recognize them, and go beyond them.
