Eyes Open

Bless,

Keep your eyes open. I was quiet today, and i watched. I was able to see clearly the flaws, the missteps, the neglected aspects, of a business.

It helped me to gain more insight into my own flaws, missteps, and neglected tasks. I tried a different perspective. Rather than seeing what they were doing wrong, I was able to see what I need to do right. Sometimes it is easier to see the grass on the other side of the street. Dont waste time criticizing, but take a closer look at your grass, and see where it needs improvement. Are you making the same mistakes they are? Is that why the mistakes are so easy to identify?

Step up your game, and stay focused. Not as easy as it sounds.
Bless.

Be Still

Blessed Greetings,
Interesting revelation yesterday. If you are still, they will reveal themself.

I was surprised to see that maybe people do or say things that they know will disrupt your peace.
Stealing my joy. However, I have chosen to take a different perspective on the matter.
Why do the things they do bother me? Is it because they are my employer and I need to work to support my family? Or is it because I see that their inexperience in certain things makes me a threat to thier position?
I have taken to take a different perspective, and realize that I cannot allow the things they do affect my joy. Why should I give them so much power? Very often in life whether it is client - contractor, employer - employee, or even lovers to lovers, we have to do things that we may not want to, but we have to in order to maintain something, could be peace, a job, or a paycheck, whatever it is, success depends on some level of flexibility. Nothing in life is guaranteed, we always have to navigate the path as it is revealed.
Loosen up, bend sometimes, just dont bend over. Everything has its limits. If you feel like someone is asking you to bend too much, be mature and respectful, but address the situation with tact, and facts. There are occasions where a level of mutual understanding cannot be reached, and the relationship must be dissolved.
God puts people in our life for a reason, I believe. Try to evaluate your situation, and learn from your experiences. Life is beautiful if you embrace it with peace, love, and understanding.
Bless.
B.

Patience

Patience is definitely a trait that I need to improve on. I realize that I am not perfect, and that there is always room for improvement. I try to be understanding when things dont happen fast enough or end results are other than expected. I often have to seek a meditation to take my own inventory( assess what my role is in the situation).

It took me a while to overcome the fear of really looking at myself. It is not as easy as it sounds for me. I wouldn't expect everyone to understand this.

Rather than getting upset about the slowpoke in front of me on the drive home, I realize that I can not make the person drive faster, and that I have to just take life as it comes, and give thanks that I have life.

Not all of our friends see things from the same perspective. I do not always see the same perspective as my friends. The ability to be alright with this, is probably why we are friends.

Blessed Love. More Love, More Life.
