I’ve learned a few important things about myself in the past couple of days. I am an optimist in many ways and I always try to look for the benefit in things but at the same time, internally, I can be very negative which harms my own well being and my relationships. This is part of the big reason why I love blogging, because as I write about important positive things it helps me keep them clear in my mind as well. Needless to say I am really trying to improve!
Anyways, I was somewhat analyzing myself yesterday and I realized that I am very impatient and that I also have a hard time with trust. When I feel threatened in any way I immediately put my guard up and get very defensive. In perspective this comes out as very mean and bitter. I also always want to be in control and I have a hard time with faith.
Realizing our mistakes is the first step in the right direction, and now that I recognize it I am definitely willing to change it.
Since I am working on a changing my life for my own benefit, I have decided that I will work a lot more on my patience and faith. When I work on a piece of art, I completely let myself go, I take my time, and I just let it happen. The reason why I love that is because I feel so at peace and just one with my experience. However in any other situation I am constantly inside myself and it gets a lot harder to open up and just let whatever happens, happen.
“We need to learn to relax our anticipatory and reactive minds so we can learn to make the connections we are seeking”
If we just have faith in life and in the exact place where we are at, we become a lot calmer and a lot happier for that very reason. We need to be able to trust ourselves and trust others in order to experience things to their fullest. We need to just give ourselves to life and take whatever comes our way. It can be anything, as long as we completely give ourselves to it, it will be worthwhile.
