THE BEGINNING OF PEACE... |
The beginning of peace...
... is the end of expectations.
Understand that no one... owes you... anything, and this will be the beginning of your revival.
No one.
Owes.
Anything.
So simple…
Release the mirage of how important and significant you are in the eyes of those you come across.
Nobody has to love you, to give you gifts, and nobody has to be friends with you and act honestly and unselfishly.
No one has to be faithful to you because you are faithful to someone or something.
Nobody is obliged to stand up for you or to give you their shoulder at difficult times.
No one has to commiserate with you or comfort you.
To lend you money.
To listen to your stories or laugh at your jokes.
Nobody is obliged to fill your emptiness and inability to live without constant references to someone's company.
No one has to keep you at work because you're a good worker.
No one has to take care of you and certainly no one is obliged to arrange a happy and comfortable life for you.
No one has to answer you with reciprocity.
With good for good. With gratitude.
Doesn't have to behave the same way you did towards him.
Do you understand?
No one. Owes. You. Anything.
Never and nowhere.
Does that make you cold-hearted or unsympathetic?
Disappointed?
No. No. No.
Take a good look at this...
This is the weightlessness of forgiveness.
This is the light streaming through the jungle of your unhappiness, inscribed by blood of others' obligations, into the IOU book of the soul ...
"... And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive our debtors .."
Do you remember?
Let go of what is out of your hands.
Stop pretending ...
And liberation from the constant commenting of people and events will be the beginning of your transformation ...
And you so wanted to change your life ...
You are no longer expecting or hoping for something.
Whatever happens - happens, gushing a huge flow of gratitude through you...
A wave of understanding and warmth carries you ...
Now, you learn to appreciate the little things that you missed before ...
A kind word.
Offer of help.
A smile…
It turns out that the whole problem was in you ...
See how much kindness is in the world when you're not deafening everything around with the dynamite of your "want" and "owe"?
All people are good. Let them just be, without your expectations and assessments - and everything will wind up in its place.
This is very important in relationships.
"If you love something, set it free ..."
Here it is…
This is a necessary freedom, the space where love takes place.
Respect the choice of another.
Do not try to anticipate and control it. If you do not like it - go away, but don't you dare touch the life of another.
No one owes you anything.
This is the first step.
And there are no more expectations. No more constant attempts to secretly rejoice against the background of other people's problems.
You no longer exist at all.
You're not at war and not in a fight. Injustice has disappeared and what has remained is gratitude to that which is so infinitely much and so indescribably beautiful ...
Ease.
And simplicity.
You have thrown so much off.
All that has kept you down to the ground with constant miscalculation of things which have not happened and of the past.
Now you are free.
Free to listen and to be calm and quiet.
Free to just be.
No one owes you anything.
And you do not need anything from anyone.
Live.
