Mornin'! I hope this day holds great promise for all. I was thinking about something early this morning that I thought others could relate to. The concept of forgiveness to all those who "irk" us on a daily basis is crucial to our spiritual growth. You know, the person who you have not even spent time getting to know or someone who you "know well" but don't really know.
So often I judge others by either their past, present, or what I can conjure up in my head in the moment. None of these ways of assessing other is fair or spiritual. In fact, judging others is a convenient way for me, at least, to avoid looking at myself to see where I need to make the appropriate changes in my life so I can judge less and live a much happier existence. Sounds easy doesn't it? We all know that this is one of the greatest challenges we all face on a daily basis. There are plenty of others, some unique to the individual and others shared by all.
The important concept for all of us to grasp is that of being the very best we can in every facet of our lives. There is a block of time called "life" that we have been given for this very purpose. This process need not be filled with gloom and doom. Rather, it should definitely be filled with much joy, happiness, and laughter. Why would we do it if we did not have some fun along the way. It is in those moments when some people lose this mindset and check out.
Loneliness, fear, isolation, and depression are four ingredients with which forms of spiritual sickness are created. When it comes to manipulating and controlling these alone, nearly everybody fails. I, like probably everybody else, have had personal experience with these ills and the two common medications for my problems were people and the Great Spirit.
Enjoy your day and if nobody else tells you they love you today, I do.
