Why is less more?
Well maybe because...
Less time together = more quality time
Less talk = more heart connection
Less serious = more fun
Less doing = more being
Less judgment = more openness
Less material = more spiritual
Less living together = more enjoying together
Less trapped = more space
Less to do = more peace
Less tomorrow = more today
Less you should = more I could
My friend Helle sent me this yesterday... sweet.
Everyone Can't Be in Your Front Row.
Life is a theatre - invite your audience carefully.
Not everyone is spiritually healthy and mature enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships/fellowships!
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to:
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?
When you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people you are around!
You have a free choice! Use it wisely.
Strive for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.
Watching my grandson little Adam has made me realize that babies and little kids are naturally assertive. We don't have to teach them how to stand up for themselves - they just do it! They cry when they're hungry and they want what they want. No doubts about that! You can't tell a baby it's not ok to want what he wants! He just does...
So it makes me think that that being non-assertive and not standing up for ourselves is really something we learn. We are taught to keep quiet and not stand up for ourselves. We are taught not to want what we want... And of course much of what we are taught is to make it possible for us human beings to get along with each other... but maybe for many, the training we got in childhood went a bit too far, and we're left not knowing how to stand up for ourselves in a good and clear cut way. So then when we grow up, we have to go back to assertiveness training again - and find out that it's ok to want what we want! Interesting isn't it...
