This morning I came across a section in a book I'm reading that really made me think:
"There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all of the time. The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is not choice. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you."
At first I thought, "what are the two thought systems"? Then, I realized it's pretty clear:
Good/Bad
Light/Dark
Happy/Sad
Joy/Pain
Positive/Negative
Love/Fear
Love/Hate
I'm going to be a lot more careful today and try my best to demonstrate/teach what I believe.
PS: For those of you that are worried I'm going to try and hit the motivational speaker circuit here any day now, don't. I may get myself a bus like the one in this photo and start doing yoga, but hopefully these changes are more about me and less about changing other people. The fact that I blog about these things may call all of that into question, but honestly, I blog because it's a record for the grandkids AND it helps me stay centered on what my life is and isn't about.
