We talk so much of kindness but
we never focus on being kind to ourselves. We are so knotted within us but we
preach kindness. We push ourselves, deny our blocks and try to prove ourselves
to the world while our personal foundation is so challenged!
Generally, people feel good when
they are spoken of well and praised even. Human tendency is naturally to
gravitate towards where you feel good or where people make you feel good.
Getting involved in a busy
schedule often does not give you an opportunity to self-analyze, to dig out the
toxins buried deep within. Maybe, from childhood, may be later in life. But,
not worth neglecting!
Ultimately, every one of us has
the responsibility to review and correct impressions and perspectives so as to
give more opportunities to life. Moving along, wanting to be in the light and
yet, holding onto the dark spots where light does not enter, is like moving one
step forward and one step back. How does it help?
As I always say, it is so easy to select a few and dole out your goodness, no holds barred! Almost like dog lovers who cannot love humans the same way as they do their dogs.
But so difficult to offload the
baggage you have built up with people based often on simple misunderstandings
or unrealistic expectations, not to forget ego driven attitudes!
Either you have the wisdom to
understand the journey of those around you or you just keep being myopic
without giving even a benefit of doubt.
And you know what? I have seen
that with such attitudes, we miss out on some great relationships! But, sadly,
what you don’t even know, how will you miss?
