Looking Back at What I’ve Learned
I‘ve learned that we arrive at love not by seeing or embracing a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. I know it is hard, but it is worth giving it a chance. I am working on it, and I love it. What about you?
I’ve learned that arguing with a fool proves there are two fools! I always choose a smile instead. Can you learn to smile when someone treats you foolishly?
I’ve learned that what we perceive depends mainly on what we are looking for. I always choose to see the best in everyone. Try it, and you will be amazed at the good that will appear in your life.
I’ve learned that you and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are. It is always a reflection of who we are. Our attitude is the lens through which we look. What are you seeing in your life?
I’ve learned that how we do one thing is how we do everything. I do the best I can in everything, with everything, and for everything. It is my unique formula. Try it. Explore your inner self and see where you can do your best.
I’ve learned that your problems cannot be resolved from the level on which they first manifested. So I stop looking at what happened yesterday – which was the level where I created the problem. I bring it to the present moment, and think about it. It’s a relief to know that today, I can create something new because I am not yesterday’s “me.” So can you.
I’ve learned that love is like a lost article. Love will show up when and where you least expect it because love is one of our underlying substances. To find it though, you should expect it to show up. Is there love in your expectations?
I’ve learned to make everything as simple as possible. Complicated, detail dense or intense doesn’t serve me well. Tiny steps always get the job done. Do you take continuous, small steps? Every step is stately.
I’ve learned that there isn’t anything as useless as doing efficiently something which should not be done at all. What a waste of time and energy. What do you need to stop doing?
I’ve learned that stress is an alarm clock that rings to let you know you’ve attached to something not good or true for you. I stop and question myself: “What is not good or true here? I am feeling stressed.” Do you?
I’ve learned that we say to other people the words that we most need to hear ourselves, so I always try to choose good words. Are you listening to your words?
