I do not like to live in the past,
But, allow my past to live within me.
Looking back at my life,
I’ve crossed paths
with so many people
who no longer
permeate my days.
I’ve blamed so many …
held
grudges against
-those who betrayed
-those who
tortured
-those who
hated
--those
who loved, even trusted me!
But today,
I perceive things differently…
We meet every person for a reason
-it’s not a chance encounter.
.. perhaps to test
us,
to teach
us,
or to
help us develop our own selves.
It is very easy to
live life
blind to the
signs and messages around us.
Once we begin
living in a
state of awareness,
a whole new, beautiful world is revealed.
So, I thank everyone!
"You have power over your mind - not outside events.
Realize this, and you will find strength.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
