So Today was having a conversation with a Facebook buddy of mine and we always have these deep conversations. He was talking about his family and I talked about daily happenings. In that conversation we came across the topic "food for thought"! I would like to ask my fellow readers and followers what does that signify for you? As time progressed I thought about how many times I have tried to show someone the way or tried to give someone a second shot. All to realize it wasn't my place to show them the way. That each and everyone of us has a fair shot to make things happen or change for the better. Now with that being said; everyone you come across you would think that they want to change their lives but how many of them have the tenacity to do so? Furthermore, You can tell someone all day long how much they need to change or what their flaws are. By the way it is very easy to see the flaws in others before we identify them in ourselves! I'm not saying that ANY OF MY READERS HAVE FLAWS!!! Oh No!!!
Im actually stating what seems to have been true for me on many occasions as well as a mirror reflection of people I've come into contact with at times. I don't discount anyone I can actually learn a thing or two so I always stay open minded there may be something I missed over in myself that I may need to tweak! We can all learn from each other if we are willing to be open!
When it comes to people we love and care about we want them to see the best in themselves; When the time is right they will or won't see. I am learning it is not always our jobs to show up for people. You can feed them the necessary knowledge and give them bread and food for spirit but it is up to them to except what is given! So when there is a need to guide someone never stop guiding; however being to forceful will only push them away. When the person is ready the pathway will open up or as a great philospher Buddha once said " When the Student is Ready; The Teacher will appear".
