I am discovering the whole concept of Accepting without Cost! This can be witnessed in so much in your life. How you are in traffic with your fellow drivers on the road? How do you treat your peers at work from what you say to them, behind their backs or what you really think and what you do when you deal with them! How do you speak to your team, those below the ranks to you! How do you really feel and what you share to make their job easier or clearer to them? From the boy that approaches you and you can see he is interested and what really goes through your mind in terms of checklist ticks before you decide he is worth your time. And this all happens in just seconds by the way!
And you can take this broader. What and who do you treat like idiots, with disgust or turn your nose up to? The list is endless but there is something to be said about what you feel about it and how it relates to your criteria for accepting that someone/something is of value!
I have had the greatest moment when I was in the depth of my frustration of why I am not feeling valued and loved with all this spiritual work that I am doing! But I have discovered the possibility of getting back what I give out! When I started looking at how I was valuing what was around me in how I treated various groups of people in my life, my family and even how I valued myself, it became clear!
There were current situations in my life draped with being accepted under a certain set of criteria. A cost I had to bear to get the reward of acceptance. And going deeper, I realized that there is certainly cost that others in my life have to bear to get my acceptance. From the driver on the road that I wish was not given a license, to the cashier at the supermarket that gets my intimidation because she cannot answer my questions, to how treat my team and the ones I love.
What COST must the world and others incur to get your ACCEPTANCE of their VALUE? It would be interesting to see how it relates to the cost you bear to get the Acceptance of your Value . . . . . . . .
Great post, acceptance of the self will return to you so much.
ReplyDeleteSeeing with new eyes in an old world can transform any situation, the path to return to the spiritual is not an easy one, yet it is the only path worth taking ♥
I just love this post!!
