Nothing I do is going to change anyone in my life. Oh, there might be a comforting word, but unless someone wants to change, it will not happen as a result of my prompting, prodding, or pushing. I’m just surprised to figure it out once again. Often I forget what it is that makes me happiest. I am happiest being me and free; allowing others the same life.
We are the way we are; we look to our innermost thoughts. We learn and grow when we recognize the goodness of the universe in our inner sanctum. When we have finalized our own joy, we can move and share with others. Until then, we are the way we are… until, we are the way we are again.
Thank you Dixie,AS I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES ,TO UNDERSTAND THAT OTHERS ,WILL DO AS THEY SHOULD,I CANNOT FORCE THEM TO FEEL ANYTHING.IT HAS TO BE ME , WHO MAKES THINGS CHANGE,ACCEPTING MYSELF,IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT STEP I NEED TO TAKE.THIS IS SO DIFFICULT ,RIGHT NOW,BUT I CANNOT GIVE UP ON MYSELF.IT FRUSTRATED ME ,THAT WHEN I NEEDED COMPASSION ,I GOT APATHY[OR MY PERCEPTION OF IT]PEOPLE ARE WHO THEY ARE [AS I AM ]I MUST ACCEPT THIS.THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT ,IN SUCH A KIND WAY.
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for visiting and commenting. You've found something that nurtures your path; great!
In my 'blog list' go to the very last blogspot. It shows a little square symbol. The name of the article is "Beyond Compassion." I think you will enjoy what this writer adds to our knowledge of passion/com-passion. (The blog name does not show, but it is called, 'buddhawithin'.
Thank you again Dave, and congratulations on the blog awards you've received.
Peace,
Dixie
