It’s not good to get tangled up with other people -individually or the world at large. Now you notice I said tangled not involved. We have to get involved with people in order to establish relationships and in order for them to progress and deepen. And I’m talking about setting boundaries because it’s much more than that. It’s something strategic, something meaningful on both sides of the line. Much if not all of the problems with the world stem from people getting tangled up with one another.
I have found having things doesn’t make you happy, doing things does.
Our attitude which is often predicated upredicated upon what we focus on and how we perceive what we focus on determines whether there is even a battle to be fought within us. Many people who are commendated for their attitude under duress [presumably] are sometimes actually… disconnected. Still others have already won the supposed battle [in their minds] because of where they tend or choose to focus, and or how they perceive. Many people make the battle harder than it has to be while other people make it less than what it actually is. I’m not sure who in either case deserves a commendation or admiration. I suppose seeing things for what they are and and then assessing whether or not there is an actual battle to be fought, determines whether or not a commendation is in order, admiration is warranted. Truly admirable people see things for what they are; and in the instances where a significant battle truly exists, or a significant amount of courage is required, and they rise to the occasion; that is to be admired. Also one must take into account that… And this adds a bit of a twist if not an apparent conflict to the aforementioned, our abilities along with our mental and emotional makeup must be taken into account in individual cases. What is heroic for one is not heroic at all for another by definition [One man struggle… 🤷♂️]. And of course, depending on your definition.
Sometimes people find each other and assumingly Monday in atmosphere or happenstance. What’s most extraordinary is what blooms from it. With other people though, finding each other in itself is extraordinary.
As we become less and less reliant on something doomed to fail us over and over again, our attitude towards that thing will also likely change for the better. 🤷♂️
If you got a goiter at 60 your attitude would likely be much different than if you guided at 20.
It’s not good for a person to think too much of themselves no matter how far in life they’ve gone [or come]. The Virgin Mary was the closest thing to perfect that ever was on this planet as a mortal human being and yet she thought little of herself. It’s a strange contradiction. But whether we are somebody or not somebody we should always think little of ourselves. Because there’s beauty and peace and safety in that.
I am a part of the world by design whether people themselves accept me or not and the same is true of you. We are all an intricate part of the makeup of the world whether others agree or like it or not.
