For Thought
Do you ever find yourself
getting frustrated or angry with the actions of others?
Whatever you see when you evaluate other people, is a projection of
what is inside of you. When you find yourself thinking, "I wish she
could make a firm decision" it is an indication of your own
frustration at not being able to make a decision. In order to
recognize something in others, you must first have it within yourself.
Think about it. Is there something that makes you particularly angry?
Why? Look inside yourself for the source of this anger. Even if you
could change the behavior of others, it would not resolve your
feelings. You are the only one who can change the way you feel. Trying
to run away by blaming others, will only prolong the problem and make
it worse.
The really good news is, that this "mirror" has a positive side to it.
The inspiring, uplifting things you see in other people, are in you as
well. When you see in others such things as compassion, genius,
beauty, caring and affection, you're seeing a projection of yourself.
You see these things because they are a part of you.
The source of your thoughts and feelings about other people, about
things, about situations, is you. When you see darkness, it is your
darkness. When you see beauty, it is your own beauty. Grasp this
concept, and you can change your world.
Keep going. You've come all this way, invested irreplaceable time.
Don't stop now. Each moment brings you closer and closer to the
success you desire. Each action ensures that you will get there that
much sooner.
Have you ever wondered how many people give up when they are just a
week, or a month away from finally succeeding? What a shame! What a
waste!
Keep on going. Determination will prevail over any obstacle.
Consistent effort will win out over genius, luck and talent. When
things get difficult, it's probably because you're starting to make a
difference. Continue doing it. Keep up the effort. You'll soon be
there. |
