BodyMindSoul Centre: Fault

Limitations

Adamant and rigid to a fault! Rigid and adamant to a fault! Have you come across people like that? If you caution them about anything, they will simply shut you up. If you suggest something that will help them for sure, they will stubbornly clam up. They don’t want to hear anything new. Wow! How does it help though?

These people are in your life to teach you big lessons in patience and also in recognizing your own limitations. It can be very frustrating. But evidently, their road map is different from yours and there is nothing you can do about it. And if you persist, you will reach a stage where no one will be willing to listen to you, however right you may be.

So, wisdom lies in picking your battles, or you will be the only one likely to get wounded.

Tit for Tat

I just read somewhere that people try their best to expose what is wrong with you because they can't handle what is right with you. I find this to be a little unnecessary. Fault finding is an aberration of the mind which tells you that you are not good enough. From your perspective, you might feel good but believe me, it is temporary and the aftermath of feeling guilty and not so good is uncomfortable.

In society, it is normal to speak behind the back of a person because you don't want people to know that you are capable of slander. But slander it is, however much you might try to cloak it. It is your negativity that gets aired and people are quick to sense this as well, although they may not say it to your face.

Many people say that they are just giving tit for tat. But that doesn't stop you from also being in the wrong.

Life is meant to move from strength to strength, to become better and better, more and more compassionate and generous. Instead of pointing out the wrong because you can't handle the right, you can appreciate the right of another and correct the wrong within you. And this applies to all of us.
