Day 43 ~

For some of us, anger seems to be a part of life, even if we know better. Sometimes I'm horrified at myself for stooping lower than the person I allow to "flip my switch" by allowing a situation to get the better of who I need to be. We attract these situations, like it or not. They're to teach us.

The more we try to have patience with ourselves, the easier it's going to become to avoid the next SLAP from life. A slap from life ruffles our feathers, so to speak (as well as the people around us). If we can avoid "reacting", but rather respond with wisdom, things unfold the way they're meant to.

We find our wisdom in moments of Silence with ourselves, with Love for ourselves, Acceptance of ourselves, and Patience with ourselves. I look at the situations in the past as slaps in my face to wake-up!! I found a way to see with Silence, Love, Acceptance and Patience. I put 'em together.

As I was eliminating unnecessary words and such from Ravin Ravine, I was glad it was originally written "back then", because it became obvious how obsessed I was with ONLY my-outside-self. I can't believe how obvious it is, but felt none of that then. We'll only be aware of ourselves when we allow it.

But isn't that the most challenging aspect of our lives? Doesn't it make sense this is what our childhood should have taught? Don't we humans have a brain to process life in a much deeper sense than other animals? We were taught how to think, but not how to deeply communicate our feelings in my humble opinion. So isn't that why we need psychologists and psychiatrists?

But what else is still missing? The understanding of why it's essential? Do you believe it could possibly relate to the fact all of life is energetically connected in an unfathomable sense? Has mankind continued to view life as if people are separate from the whole of life? Why?

Because thousands of years ago great minds couldn't speak the truth without making people afraid of their own responsibility to see within themselves? Look at how mankind has evolved. We can't put blame anywhere. It is what it is, but it's never too late to begin to change.

Awareness is curative.
