Confession #2: I have learned that even on the spiritual path, things are not always going to be rosy. There have been numerous difficult situations and people, bad days, and hard times ALL along the way. I have moments, days, sometimes weeks when I doubt myself. Intentional or not, I have hurt family, friends, lovers, and coworkers and I have been hurt by family, friends, lovers, and coworkers. I KNOW from my lifes experiences that forgiving myself, forgiving those who hurt me and asking for forgiveness from those whom Ive hurt, whether they forgive me or not, that I have had growth. However I know these things are all part of the process for spiritual growth and life change. When things are difficult, I smile by FAITH. I try (and slip sometimes) to remain obedient during difficult times when I don’t understand or it doesnt make sense. I still try and do what I know is right regardless of another’s action(s) or lack of. Its especially hard to be obedient and turn the other cheek or be nice, cordial, supportive, and understanding to those who dont make it a priority to do it unto you. I constantly, on a daily basis, tell myself not to wait until I feel better to behave better. I know that even when I feel alone, Im not. People may not always be able to look at you and see, agree with, or even understand who you are, what youve been through, what youre trying to say, or where youre going. InSpiteOf these small barriers, when you are able to look in the mirror and truly love the person that is looking back at you, flaws and all, it doesnt matter what PEOPLE see or think they know. All that matters is what you KNOW God knows about you. :) TGIF SN: Your life will begin to look up when you do. ChangingYourThoughts...ChangesYourWorld
