Time and Perspective – My Friends…
I am a seeker of answers but find sometimes that nothing really works but time. Time and perspective seem to go hand in hand with respect to challenging situations. There is a process we go through emotionally when we are faced with struggles and each moment we can feel a million different ways about thus situation. It is always helpful that if another person is involved to communicate, not ad nauseum, but allow yourself and the other person to be heard to ultimately conclude in peace. The fact is, we all have our own experience regardless of what other’s perceive is a fact. If we all saw things the way others did, there would never be a misunderstanding. Through misunderstandings we can all grow, if we communicate. There are some situations that may disappear as a result, but most conditions and people will remain steady, if you give them a chance. I don’t believe anything cannot be resolved peacefully. If we go deep into ourselves, the only authentic place that feels right, natural and real is acceptance and love. When we get away from that and find ourselves blaming, pointing and angry, know that the place from where that comes is fear and is not real. It is a perceived threat or situation that we have created in our minds. It is very likely that another person will intentionally harm, but realize that that intention isn’t coming from the truest place of the person or situation. If we all have faith and operate from a noble place, it won’t be a boring world. There can remain mystery and excitement, but it will be on a deeper more respectful level. Not everything requires a talking out if you are operating from a neutral and respectful core, giving your truest most authentic self possible. Have respect for others, and listen to them, if they need to be heard. Not everything is about you, mostly it isn’t. It is about how they are perceiving the situation. Just trust in life, if you come from that place, it doesn’t matter if the other is telling the “truth.” The truth is simple, it is what you already know, if you operate as such. Don’t feel gullible if someone has deceived you, because all you can do is trust that you didn’t deceive them. Be confident and stride through life desiring to assist people and to bring out the best in everyone you come into contact with. It is so much lovelier to help than to knock down. In general, if you see someone in need of assistance, or you feel you might be able to be an asset, just do it because it feels good. Giving is far more rewarding than receiving. Life is short, appreciate every day you are above ground. Walk with confidence. Have a great day!
