So throughout the month I have been writing down different thoughts that come to me while I'm sitting at my desk starring at my computer screen. Not sure which ones came first. :)
1.I'm not always thinking about how my words are effecting other people, or even how it makes them think. I comment about $, not having a lot, or something that insinuates the lack there of and then I'm not ready for the response. Stopping to consider the outcomes of my words before I say them would be better than what I am doing at that moment. I am just end up babbling because I just want to talk. I don't seem to care what I say or how it effects another person's thoughts.
It is so hard for me to just be patient. I don't understand why I think that I am so important and that what I have to say can't wait another minute to hear another person's thoughts. I feel so selfish lately. I came here to be love; to practice humility. I feel like I am failing at it. If I learn nothing else, I need to understand that humility is the highest degree of wisdom. I was reading in "The future of Peace" today and i read something very powerful. "If your mind doesn't stay with your body in the present, all sorts fo evil things--all sorts of distractions--will come flowing in to overwhelm it, making it fall away from its inner worth..."
I too often find myself making up my own stories in my head trying to make sense of everything or imagine scenarios of how things will go in the future. A lot of times that alone makes up my mood. If I just concentrated on living in the present, I would be a lot happier.
