In days long past when I
was young, I took to the woods to find what no others could find. I searched
here and there for weeks and found not what I search for. “Why did you
continue I was asked”, my reply was "it was expected of me." A walk
in the woods always took me where I needed to go, the place where I had to be.
Was it important for me
to know where, maybe, but not always? You see our soul always knows what
is best for us. We only need to find out what that is because that is part of
what life is all about – the searching. The other part is to come to know
the God within.
We often search for what
others expect of us not knowing that we were really supposed to search for what
was best for us. Whether this is what we had in mind when we started, may
or may not be what was intended.
Like so many searchers,
we often go beyond are abilities. It doesn't matter what we're searching for,
and we are never told what was really expected of us, what mattered was, we not
knowing did what we should.
Going beyond all
expectations is something that we can do. We only need to get started.
The question is what is it that we expect of our selves? Do we stand up
to our own expectation? Or do we fall short? Who is it that we really
have to satisfy? Is it really you, or you, or you? Can’t I do what I want without criticism, or
make something totally unexpected? Like what you say? Good
question. You see it doesn't matter what it is. It is I who does
it. It is your place to simply watch and do nothing, even say nothing.
The big mistake people
always make has to do with others. We demand that others conform to our
expectations or else. Why? They don't think or act like us.
They don't even look like us. So why question another persons right
to be who they are? You and I are to live our lives in harmony with
others by letting them be who and what they are. Make no mistakes here, they
are who they are and cannot be anything else.
