I find it is easy to be unfocused and super distracted when
life moves so quickly. In my last blog, I talked about clearing the calendar a
bit. Guess what happens when I do
that? There is suddenly room to put MORE
stuff in the calendar. Sigh, I just have
to accept that I am happiest when my days are full of LIFE.
Nonetheless, I decided I still needed an attitude change. I was feeling awfully judgmental and
intolerant towards people in general.
Hmm…solution, solution, solution? Finger tap, tap, tap. How can I fix this?
Then I remembered a line from the optimist creed: Promise
yourself ~ To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no
time to criticize others.
Yes! Wait…how am I
going to remember to do that? Then I
spotted a hair tie with one simple purple bead on it. I put it on my wrist. It felt good.
It is now my reminder to focus on myself and what I can change to be a
better person.
I am stilling clearing and adding to my schedule.
I am still slowing down my actions and that still seems
to be slowing down time.
I am still focusing on keeping balanced.
I am still taking deep breaths.
I am realizing that when people don’t do the right thing,
or when they don’t keep commitments or they don’t honor friendships or they
drive like maniacs or they take up two parking spots it is absolutely NONE OF
MY BUSINESS.
I am busy working on myself right now.
And I am honoring the place within others of love, of
light, of truth, of peace; I am honoring the place within others, where, when they
are in that place in them, and I am in that place in me, there is only one of
us.
The place that is filled with joy, respect, understanding and growth.
