Herro lovers! It has been a stress filled month so far but, I'm hanging in there. I chalk it up to patience which I feel goes hand in hand with compassion. Things don't go as planned. Babies slam phones down like a football and shatter screens sometimes. Easy solutions don't get executed very smoothly sometimes. Sometimes, I gotta check myself. That regardless of my plans, fate is not solely in my hands, ya feel me? I havw to step back and breathe out all that stress from things not going the way I imagined they should have.
This is where compassion plays an essential role in maintaining my patience and faith that things are going to be okay, because they will be. I have to have compassion towards myself and compassion towards others in delicate situations. For example, my son was suppose to be starting school this month. Unfortunately, things just have not been as smooth as i imagined. This is fine, he's still going to start school, his father is dealing with so much grief from another failed marriage and having to work triple time, I know he did his best to help in our son's transferring of schools. Some things are just out of our control. All we can ever do is our very best. And that looks different for everyone. We all are fighting the unseen battle. Utilize compassion and have patience. Everything in due time.
Let me know your thoughts on patience and compassion. Do these things come easy for you? I find the more I practice these states of mind, the easier it becomes to tap into. Namaste.
