Just when I thought I GOT IT!!!!

So far this year I have had the following vocabulary words: COURAGE, PEACE, DISCIPLINE, ACCOUNTABILITY, OBEDIENCE, TRUST and recently DEXTERITY. If this isn’t minding my own business… I don’t know what is!!!!!! Now if I can pass this algebra class, I can add SELF-RESPECT to the list!

As I wrote in my previous post “Lessons in Allowing” I talked about the people I work with and how I choose to view the situation.. (most days). I talked to a very wise man about this today and he told me much of what I already knew but needed to hear AGAIN. He asked me why I am giving it so much energy and THOUGHT…my thoughts. He said… :there is peace when you live in the moment, not the past or the present just this NOW moment.” He said that I must see past what is in front of me and focus my thoughts on what I want.

Then he told me to ask myself “is it worth it?” Is it? Do I have to answer that? Then that means I shouldn’t have a need to write about it in my blog… TWICE!!! The lessons are endless!

Some days are easier than others. Today I was feeling kinda shitty so I called my sage..... My Mother. She said to me "no man is your enemy, no man is your friend but every man is your teacher." Enough said. She again confirmed that this is a great lesson in patience and that a "wise man holds his tongue...." Enough said...

It is "application time!"

So each workday I am given an opportunity to practice patience, peace, and forgiveness. I know I am given the chance to rise above the ego and not let anything outside of me dictate how I feel and react. This is an opportunity for mastery…

And even though I know, nothing can affect me unless I allow it….

Boy… oh boy…

I said it is necessary… NOT EASY!!!

I try to remember… Mind yours today…because tomorrow doesn’t exist!
