INNER GROWTH … And Carrying the Weight of trying to control others … learning to appreciate our own capacities … skills … and virtues …
Human life can become very complex if one does not keep it simple. There are enough reasons to make one’s life complex, but there are enough reasons, also, for us to be more humble, to be simple.
If I look at myself as one who is in charge of everything, then I will have to face myself and the situations also with regret, with a self of guilt, for I do not control all the situations.
What control can you have in changing people? It is impossible.
Each one has some agenda for everybody else. One does not really pause and think that: “If i have an agenda for everybody in my life will they not have an agenda for me?” They are bound to have. If you analyze others’ agenda, then you will have new problems to deal wth. You will feel that nobody understands you…
That is exactly what others also think; that you do not understand them. So, problems become more and more complex when you do not understand that you cannot change people and you do not call all the shots.
Life is a percentage game, to make any headway, one has to be at the right time at the right place, and that is not always possible, for that is not under one’s full control, therefore one just remains humble…
This does not mean subservience, but an enlightened humbleness, that comes out of appreciation of our own capacities, skills, virtues, and at the same time our own limitations…Feels great to be posting again … thank you friends for being patient with me …Maritza
