that it takes time...
to find ourselves...truly
and that once we do things "shift"
i suppose it's most important to notice how you're feeling
if you're someone who's used to giving alot it might take some time
to understand if in fact you're feeling "good" about this
and if you're getting enough "feel good" in return
that is, how do we know when what we're doing is in fact
really contributing to the betterment of our lives...
to a feeling that by continuing on this path it will give us a feeling
of being "filled-up", appreciated, contented
loved and in a position to in-turn help other people feel the same?
i've come to realize it's not always possible to be selfless...in times of depletion
it's times to look to what you need to "fill your tank"
and if what you're doing does not do that...then how are you going to change that?
for instance if your ego has been bruised or worse crushed by some incident then
what can you do to improve that?
first, i'd suggest removing yourself from the situation and once you've had appropriate time to step back and assess determine the best course of action
to move forward in a more fulfilling way
determining the cause of our defeated feelings is not always easy however
there may be subtle forces at work that aren't so apparent
and don't allow anyone to convince you that they have all the answers or that you're somehow a failure for not "getting it right"...right off
we're all different, with different goals, aspirations, desires, needs and wants
to have a laissez faire attitude towards others is, in my opinion paramount to allowing each to follow his own road to bliss
(with the caveat and understanding that each is prescribing to a social order..the basic Golden Rule will do)
enough said for now,
just my thoughts...
i'm coming out of a bit of a muddle myself
so once again...be kind to yourself and others as we struggle through
on our path to self-enlightenment
we cannot be a light for others until we have found the way ourselves
Most of our happiness depends on our disposition not on circumstances.
