6 June 2019 —OUR OWN PERSON OR LIVING UP TO OTHERS’ EXPECTATIONS OF US?

Whether we are being our own person and acting from our hearts or simply living up to others’ expectations of us is something I believe we can never be sure about. This is because certain ways of behaviour imposed upon us by others have now become second nature to us — THIS BEHAVIOUR HAS BECOME WHOM WE SEE OUR ‘SELF’ AS BEING.

Sometime, even our dreams our not our own but have been taken on board because then we feel we will gain kudos from others, or feel good about ourselves merely because we are living up to expectations by aiming in a certain direction.

It is NOT always an easy job deciding what our heart truly desires as opposed to what our minds keep telling us we want through our thoughts.

LOVING OURSELVES WARTS AND ALL is the answer — ACCEPTING WHO WE ARE IN ANY ONE MOMENT. When we are able to do this we can at least be tolerant of others and in time learn to love and accept their behaviour too with the knowledge that their actions towards us are indicative of how they feel about themselves and really has very little to do with us.
