There comes a time in our lives that we have to just say...Okay. Then just let it go. The need to fix the world or the world of the people we love and care for has to be met with their willingness to see our perspective. However when you assert and push our perspective, is it really what is best for them or is it what you think is best for you? The line can become blurred with what we think is best and what is truly best for the another person. The great thing for anyone to do is gather tools, give options, and then let it be. If they don’t use the tools or only use part of the tools that is okay; if they turn their backs on it all…well that’s okay as well. Our time on this earth is not to force what we think, feel or believe onto others. We are here to share and give our experience. We can lay out the tools that we use, but that does not mean that others will use them. If they do wonderful, if they don’t that is wonderful as well. Everyone is not going to drink from the same side of the stream. We may all have the same ending but we all come to that end via different paths. No one path is perfectly right for everyone. We spend far too much time trying to teach others how to walk, talk, and think on the same path we walk on. I was once told by an old farmer that not every tool in the shed gets used, and the one tool that gets used the most doesn’t always get use in the way it was intended to be used. The best example is how many of us have used a butter knife as a screwdriver, lid hammer, mini pry bar, or scraper? Well it was never intended for all of that extra work, but it was a source within reach that was able to complete the job at the time. I don’t pretend to have all the answers to all of life’s problems. I also don’t know what is best for anyone at any given time. All I have is a bag full of tools that have helped me in one way or another in this life. I share my tools and I am ok when they are not used the same way I would use them. Nothing in this world is final except the physical death of the body. So while you are out today or tomorrow remember that no one has all the answers…not even you. Offer the tools of your experience and your compassion to others and if they find use for them wonderful, if not wonderful. Just say okay, and let it go. In the end love and compassion are always the best...and a dash of humility helps the ego from getting hurt ;) Many blessings to all!
