How we see others tells us more about who we are, and this game will hinder our growth.
It enforces a belief that says to us that there is a them and an us, we are just fine, and that
the problem lies with the them.
We can obviously choose to see things differently, we can choose the opportunity to look
elsewhere.
We have the answer to overcome the obstacles in our lives.
All we need to do is examine our options more closely, then we can find the way to reach
out to others, rather than push them further away by finding fault in them.
Seeking flaws in others and avoiding the contact with them is only keeping us away from
cultivating the skills we all posess in our hearts to bring about unity and moving forward
hand in hand.
THE FAILURE GAME
We are what we tell ourselves we are.
No one is a failure, we are all learning through trial and error.
It is entirely up to us how quickly we move on from repeating the errors of our ways.
We do not have to fix anyone (including ourselves), we are here to grow.
Comparing and measuring the standards of our growth can cause us to focus on the failures
of others or our own, and will not nurture us.
We are not mechanical or plastic people, we are human beings, learning to swim the river
of life.
We must put an end to the games we play if we are to move on.
What are the motives of our actions?
Good intentions or selfish manipulations?
Strategies discreetly used to get others to be what we want them to be?
Can we look within and dare to confront the player of these games?
Who or what may be lurking there?
Is the water murky or clear as crystal, what are our motives?
USE ME
Many times we ask to be used and yet we may fail to recognise how or when we are
challenged to do so.
Without realising it, we re-act to situations as we did as children, a time that perhaps we
were not equipped to deal with our surroundings or even shown how to by those we loved
and trusted.
We were sometimes afraid, confused and maybe even betrayed, but this does not have to
apply today, GOD IS WITH US.
It is so important that we understand that we are no longer those children, we are now
adults who are capable to mature in our ways, more than able to see a positive where there
is a negative.
We must not rely on the old emotions when faced with similar situations (familiar
scenarios) of our youth.
How can we learn to not fear, unless we face seemingly fearful situations, they come to
teach us that there is really nothing to fear, we are only reverting to our old feelings of
being powerless if we do.
