Appreciation~

appreciate people even who totured you માટે છબી પરિણામ


 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!

  2. Yes, awareness is the difference between a life of depression and one of gratefulness. Thanks for capturing this important difference: " I do not like to live in the past,
    But, allow my past to live within me."

    living in a state of awareness,

  5. How true your poem is as it is not only our eyes but our minds that must be open and receptive the world all around us.

  8. True growth is indeed being able to acknowledge and say those things - not sure I'm there yet!

  9. I really REALLY like the idea of not living in the past but allowing the past to live in you! Brilliant idea really. I also like the mentality of not blaming. Easier said than done, but I really think this is a wise way to live.
