Happy Monday all you high minded Souls, Awhile back I was having coffee with a friend who was struggling with the idea of acceptance of another persons behavior and their acting out and arragance and ideas and how they did not conform with his own. As I listened I certainly recalled my own struggles with different personalities in my life over the years that at times I percieved the other person so wrong and was prepared to say any thing to prove him so. Today I think of the energy I would waste despising the other person, and allowing them to live rent free in my head, assuring myself and those about me how ill informed and certainly stupid they had to be. Gratitude I discovered is the best antidote for those nurturing resentments and Get Even attitudes which btw I used to waller in. Gratitude has a special something that lifts one up and away from these toxic attitudes that the Ego designs (or so it appears) to disrupt us. Having been in the realm of this type of emotional labyrinth, I can report how really , really good it feels to be free of it. The burden of resentment and anger is just that, its a burden I certainly do not want, and refuse to entertain. I refuse to compromise what I have today because Im powerless over another persons attitude, or actions. (I worked too hard to get here baby) Friend told me once back in St. Louis at the week of the start of the new year, (no, dont remember what year) to make a list of any flaws I may have or negative thoughts I may be entertaining, place them in a bowl and burn them on the eve of the new year. Kick it off with a clean slate, clear thinking, with positive resolutions (you already know what mine are) Keep your Gratitude banner high and never forget how awesome you are cause this is gonna be your year. Love ya all NAMASTE :-)
