Morning Meds; 6 22 19
In attempting to balance my competitive tendencies, I often find myself dangling from the tight rope.
Often, I’ve dropped the pole and felt as if I was hanging by my fingers over a cauldron of anger.
We are taught that it’s our competitive nature that drives us to be the best we can be, yet the best that we can be is usually a comparison of ourselves against another.
We can’t judge ourselves without passing judgment on someone or something else.
I personally don’t know how to navigate my way through this yet, but anything we seek we can always find answers.
The more I lament on what appears to be my weaker skills, the less opportunities I have to experience the skills I have.
We are all like plants in an ecosystem, I would say a garden, but a garden is a man-made judgment call.
The plants in a garden are always chosen and planted because of their contribution, the unwanted and misunderstood are weeded out.
If it were a human garden, we would refer to this as war.
We humans are not a garden, we are more of an ecosystem, we all contribute even if our contributions are unclear to ourselves or others.
Today I intend to be the plant I am and be content with my fragrance or lack of, my smoothness or my thorns, independence or clinginess, my beauty or plainness and not belittle others or myself because I am yet to see the whole pictures.
