Three reasons we’re doing it right:
- We all are impelled to see the good
- We all yearn to be Love
- We all deeply desire to improve the who we are
So how can we defend this amidst so much that points out what we are doing wrong?
A spontaneous poem my heart to yours:
Look at any headline
It seems the silent rule
“Write about what’s not working
What’s wrong
And why they’ve already failed.”
Perhaps the authors know
A little subtle thing
We are all striving to live convictions…
And exude confidence…
And sometimes doubt influences us (sigh but it’s true)
And, because thought is sensitive…
It needs a bit of a dad or mom
In that moment
To hault us from clicking the links
To read what we are doing wrong…
Noticing this trend
To write about what everyone’s doing wrong
I resolved many moons ago
That I would share what I do when that condemning happens to me…within
(To me the biggest need for everyone is to face down the critical opponent in thought).
Ask yourself if ever someone’s criticism motivated you…
Ask yourself if you were ever inspired to do better as a result of what was said by the one accusing you …
Ask yourself if maybe a more real way you grow
Is by thought by thought “I can do this” reassuring yourself as you go…
And knowing why you are I am the image and likeness of Love…
So the other day when I walked by this building (see above)
And noticed what seems like basic beginner landscaping
The pull was strong to listen to what was wrong with it in my thinking
But see I’ve learned how to edit my thoughts each day
And while I’m surely not always on top of it
I’m alert enought to know where I want thought to stay
I don’t want it to friend the whining crowd
Of what’s wrong or what’s not working
Or what’s already failed or shouldn’t have happened to begin with…
I want thought to friend what’s good
What’s doable
What’s possible
This moment
I want thought to then friend how to take proactive steps…
And I want thought to stay in the zone of absolutely what is mine to edit and fix (my own thinking)
I don’t wanna be this nosy nilly pointing out what someone else is doing wrong or even seeing a mess…
In fact when I’ve done this I realize it’s me who’s needing some kind of validation. (thankfully I don’t do it as much anymore always room to grow)
So back to this corner in the main street at the rotary in downtown Westborough…
That strip of land for years now has been completely vacant
No flowers
No green
No happy speck of living
It’s just been this staccato patch of land and it’s not ever inspired me to pause but rather go about my walk
So when I felt the pull to judge and size up all that could be better
I got into my thinking and edited it
Which is me refusing the pull to follow the mental suggestions or lures the ones that judge and Tate apart
The ones that condemn and accuse
What do I mean
Well I halted little miss wanna be perfect who thinks she knows how everything ought to look and work
And I refuted the pulls to friend disappointment or frustration
And I resisted the pulls to think what the heck were they thinking
And I stood back and got a different view
and I kid you not
ALL I SAW was the BEAUTY of this landscaping
So much so that I took a photo and had to share it here
See when the mental ugly is unfollowed and the pulls to judge refuted
We are able to see what’s beautiful
We are able to see what’s working
So for you for your now if you’re asking how can i stop following the pulls to judge or condemn (yourself of another or someone’s style or method or strategy or business or or or)
Notice when there’s a pull to condemn that’s says follow me
Notice when there’s a pull to rate apart and see what you think isn’t working
Notice when all you see is weakness
Notice all of these pulls and then choose not to follow them.
Expect to find the good.
Expect to see the good
It’s everywhere and happening now
We simply need to defend it and notice it.
And slowly you will begin to edit your tendency to follow what wants to criticize
And slowly you will begin to say no to the lures that want you to follow that see what’s wrong or expect the worst
And as thought I’d edited and you refuse to follow these pulls?
Thought will open and have more space to hear and notice and see the beauty.
“The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul.”
