The manner that I see life is neither doom nor gloom. I find that a variety of people do have something to say. I am not much into the areas of things that are other than something that is of interest to me.
Earlier I had so many problems with women that wished for a relationship and I could not see the point in it but those are days gone by. And most of all this is where I do keep my messenger for the most part closed.
I enjoy things that are of substance. Something that is of interest and does not bare the areas that people want to be something more than what they are. This is where I refer to authentic and co creating. It's not a group term, it's just a writing term from which people have a variety of vantages in which they enjoy to share.
Do I have goals in all that I have written about - yes. I do, but I don't wish to be anything more than what I can be. To do the best in life for your fellow person while doing good for yourself is one of the things in which I feel that life is about.
There are a variety of blogs out there and finding those whom have commonalities and as well as a understanding that the world does not work around them in there way only is really what makes this world go around.
Ah ha!
ReplyDeleteTry telling a teen-aged daughter that life doesn't revolve around her...
But you are right. There are places in life where I am the least important, when others needs come to the forefront. Then, there are times when we need to be our own greatest fan. Sometimes I need to remind myself of just how vital to my mental and spiritual health it is for me to be the most important individual with whom I have to do. Afterall, I can only be so good a friend as I have a healthy appreciation for myself:
"Love thy neighbor as thyself" and "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you" - Jesus
High regard for you requires first of all a high regard for myself. Not conceit, mind you, but the realization that I can only treat you in accord with the values I hold dear to myself. My treatment or regard for you is a mirror of my self worth.
So I value your freedom to be who you are without constraints on your thoughts or style. It's what I enjoy for myself, and what I demand in any lasting relationship.
And it's a matter of trust.
l liked this blog.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy blogging because we do get to see all sorts and manner of blogs about all kinds of topics and read others opinions about things we have in common.
ReplyDeleteReally I tend to enjoy the bloggers who have few things in common with me, too. Makes for interesting reading and I often learn new things because they do write about things I rarely take an active interest in.
You are right, yet, it challenges me to read through extended writings on matters that outside my usual interests. I do try, and making the effort, the rewards are sometimes surprising.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you come across the perfect thing posted on a blog ... something which rings so true and will not let your mind rest because it demands consideration.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good place to be in life to be able to say "I don't wish to be anything more than what I can be." Content with oneself and one's achievements, content with the path you have taken. I do not see how anyone could disagree with your thoughts re: "To do the best in life for your fellow person while doing good for yourself is one of the things ... that life is about."
And what does this have to do with the write?
ReplyDeleteThank you it's a blog and I don't think it's one that is different than any other. And I am sure that it's something that we all have the write as well as the times in which things have happened but what life is. Is what one does make it.
ReplyDeleteThe morning sun rises and you look at all the different things that are on the horizon....while sipping a morning coffee.
I made a mistake as I don't wish for a narration of a write.
ReplyDeleteBut, I am content with life....as you mentioned I don't wish to be anything more that whom I am. That is life. And we continually grow. This is what I think or see it.
It's good to meet someone who is happy with themselves and learned to know enough about themselves to live in their own skin in comfort. I try not to be vain or selfish or totally focused on only me. I think that is a shallow and lonely way to live. People are so challenging ... so interesting and it would be a shame to only believe in the desires of only me. I have met a lot of people who are so wrapped up in themselves and what they want, so driven to fullfill their own needs that it has hurt my heart. I am married to a man that has become a little like that. I think he may be experiencing a hard time growing old so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, but patience runs short with those kind of people.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog interesting and thought provoking! Good write ...
Very well said, Jack. I agree; no one has the right to ask of a person any more than that, plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteI am human and there really is not anything more to it...there is good things and the not so good that happen but it's life. We live and we learn....
ReplyDeleteI have been to yours often and I may say that your a great writer Sylvie.
Yeah we all have that right to what and how much we wish to write about. We are different yet there is something that is very interesting within the exchanges Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteVery well put. You can be anything you want; just do what you can do, though.
