Don’t judge others or yourself -Chances are you’re not that good at it from a spiritual perspective anyways. It’s a lot of work to judge other people. And usually when we judge people calmer we have a tendency to look at their flaws rather than their assets -And that goes for ourselves [unless you happen to be in love with yourself]. GOD is the only one truly fit to judge anyways. So why not just let him do the job hes good at? π€·ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈπ€·πΎββοΈπ€·π½ββοΈ Besides, judging others, and ourselves is very stressful, and very taxing.
THE QUIET MAN- I know a man who’s not very good at solving problems in his marriage, hes not very good at making waves either.
I know a man who’s not very good at making waves [causing problems] in his marriage – He’s not very good at solving problems either. But I guess one out of 2 aint bad. I’ve spent most of my time trying to solve problems in my relationships relationships by only creating more. Well he’s not 2 steps ahead of me, I guess hes one step ahead of me at least. If you can’t solve the problem you’ll just have to accept.
CATCH-A-WAVE
Alcoholics are great at making waves. We’re not to be considered the most emotionally stable people on the planet. Going off of my own personal history, and what AA has taught me -I realize I’m not here on this planet to run somebody else’s life. I’m not here on this planet to tell other people how to behave. And something I never cared much for in the rooms of AA [you spotted you got it], “I’ve got enough on my plate dealing with my own shit, little on trying to run somebody else’s life”. And, “I can’t even run my own life how the hell am I gonna run somebody else’s successfully?” Both true statements. Lastly, my job is to try and get along with every human being to the best of my ability, to try and make things work in whatever situation I happen to get myself into!
So judging people, trying to control people, trying to make waves: here’s a piece of advice – first and foremost it’s a lot easier on ourselves if we don’t! Just let the majority of people, and situations be what they’re gonna be. I know, you’re always gonna be tempted to do otherwise. It’s good practice if this is an issue with you -to spend a year not getting involved in situations [as much as common dictates], just listen and observe mostly [this is a rule of thumb you will carry with you throughout the remainder of your life]. Lay low, and practice acceptance over and over and over again. Give God the steering wheel for a year -completely.
