Most Valuable Lessons

[JustBe]

Prime-no, I find what you wrote above oddly comforting. I've felt like whatever my potential might have been was lost long ago. You gave me hope. Thank you.

I can manage my own temper. I do not need to engage in silly not going anywhere, dead end conversations. I can walk away gracefully. I do not need crazymaking or high drama in my life anymore.

People can still have the power to hurt me, but I can take proactive steps to provide self care for myself. Life is full of impossible situations that call for choices. I choose the way of peace. Peace of mind is more important that trying to get a person who cannot see or hear me to listen to me without the drama. Just walk away and keep my dignity.

My Dad once told me: "You can count your real friends on one hand".

When he told me this, I didn't believe him. Ironically, it wasn't until after his death, that I learnt how very true his words were.

Stop wishing the past was different. It's never going to be different.

But our futures can be changed, by us.

I will sweep my own side of the street. And let the rest go the best I can.

Some people think they have reached some limits and they can stop learning. :laugh: this is the point of illusion. Learning never stops. That's a universe's mystery until you get fully dissolved in big love.

Most valuable lesson is never to stop learning. Learning can help you in many ways. But though learning to love is all above. Another mystery handed us by god. :)

No matter how it feels, it will not always be this way.

From my Grandpa, understanding, patience, and acceptance.

For one thing he was always patient with me, listened to me throughout my childhood. That was important because I definitely wasn't getting that at home. Then he taught me understanding and acceptance by never having a bad thing to say about my father, despite the fact he divorced his daughter and he most certainly could have put my dad down, and allowed me to complain about my mom without making excuses for her or acting like it was wrong of me to be angry. Showing me nothing but support and humor when I ended up in an institution. I never felt bad with him. I felt important and loved.

 

[Traumagirl]

Wow, Brit. I would've loved a relative like that. I'm so glad you had him.

 

[Tanishq]

Britt, that's very healthy relationship you had. You're very lucky to have grandpa like him. My grandpa did kind acts as he could and still I remember those memories from my childhood. I understood, it isn't important how much you earn, it is very important what you are giving and how you are giving it away.

Giving money to someone with some expectation never works. But if you give away money to make them happy, like my grandpa gave me some money to buy some firecrackers to celebrate some festival. I was very happy. I don't know it was little money, but I got lot of joy from it.
