we don't ever change another, but who we are can plant seeds, and something much greater than ourselves, who gave us the seed to share, will water it, nurture it and change will come

I will have to mull this over
I've heard this "we can't control the other person but we can control our reaction to the other person" stuff before... I know it is true..  just hard to give up on the idea of changing someone else.

anger
it has been a hard lesson for me, this anger business. most of my life has been spent in resentment and anger. learning to understand it has been a life-long study. good luck on your journey, isa.

all it takes is a little willingness. it takes humility to say, 'i don't know what i'm doing. please help me.' asking this from the heart to God can work miracles.

you are probably right about it...

i don't wanna be hurt...but i guess "fake" and "cheap" bloggers will always piss me off...maybe i should avoid thinking about them...i will have to find a way...i know there is sth wrong in my attitude...may God help me to correct this...

i think it takes more courage to let go than it does to react and defend a position.

i've been tempted to attack as well, but i know that the only person i would hurt is myself. i believe you are someone to be reckoned with!

yes, it is sad to look back onto the state of the world when the illusion is seen as such. thanks for commenting.

forgiving what never was

...boy ain't that true! Peace comes...when we are done wrestling with illusions doesn't it?

Avant -

Isn't it sad that peace only occurs when we must forgive that which never was in order for us to heal? How powerful is the grasp of those we give our power to.

seeing consequences clearly will help in the making of a choice, even when it is impulsive.

Yes.. We have to be the keepers of our own soul and allow ourselves the ' Freedom To Be.'  Thank you for visiting and commenting on my post..

I agree with this philosophy very much. All too often we hand over power to others

great and insightful post...

i really have to work on that point...this is really where most of my mistakes lie...i am often angered by some behaviors around me and on the net...maybe i shouldn't give a fuck about this either and it would certainly help me to feel better. I don't want others to own me...

The way you explain this is so clear, i will have to make some efforts to apply to this.

 

Thanks for this article:)
