As we walk along in our lives most the time we are so busy worrying we do not take the time to find out about ourselves. Do you ever come to a place where within your thoughts you say, “I am not where I thought I was going to be?”
When one chooses to truly walk the path of Universal truth one would assume there are many things in our physical life that we would have to give up. That was my understanding as a small girl going to parochial school learning about all the stories in the old testament.
This is a question that not only have I asked myself, but many others have asked me as well. What seems to be happening, at least it did with me, was that I was trying to get myself to move out of an emotional scenario that was really doing harm to my soul.
Why is it so hard for us to admit the truth? Why can we not say, “I can not do that“. A very simple statement, right? Yet, when are are asked to participate in something that we know right away we do not desire to do, why can’t we simply say those words… “I just can not do this for you.”
Of course we had to come to this point where, if we are seeing the bully around us or those that bully us, it really does mean that we can lovingly see that we might… at one time or another… have been the bully as well. Or perhaps we are still the bully.
As we walked through the holidays, I saw how often the loved ones around us use this quiet but deadly way of killing any kind of relationship with people we are saying we love.
