Spiritual Awakening:Seeking A Better Way!!!
Today I was asking GOD to help me find a better way of doing things so that those that perceive that I may have wronged them will let go and look at me for who I am today not the person I was years ago. He delivered this song which tells us to speak the truth. Speaking and walking in your truth is the best way. I often reach out to people I dealt with in the past to see if I can be of service and value to them now despite what may have occurred in the past. In doing so sometimes I find them to be very happy and in some cases they don’t want to speak to you as they haven’t let go of the past and haven’t looked at the role they played in the situation. The key to finding a better is to seek forgiveness for past transgressions and to forgive those that you perceive to have harmed you. I have come to grips that I have made some decisions that may not have seemed like the proper decision by others but in my heart I knew I did what GOD had directed me to do as GOD wants you to find the best way according to his plan.
When I heard the story behind this song I began to think the best way is to forgive and to let it go and to move on. I have been practicing not to judge and to understand that many people may not have the capacity yet to forgive. Such was the case with a contact that I made after several years who stated I had burnt a bridge and the bridge can not be rebuilt. This struck a chord with me and than I meditated on it for a while and realized that there are more people that think highly of me then those that do not. I realized some people have not evolved to look at who I have becoming and how I am growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. I can forgive them and realize that until they let go it will be them who are blocked from becoming a spiritually enlightened person free from blockages. I have learned it is not my job to try to correct the past it is my job to learn from it so that I can move forward. I have learned when you seek forgiveness it forces the other person to look at the role they played in the situation and if they aren’t ready to do that they will through up many defenses like the statement about burning a bridge. I have found a better way and that is to own up to the role you played and then make corrections accordingly. The strongest people are the ones who can forgive and move forward.
I met Diana McClintic on line via Facebook. She has some great insight into simply living life and going with the flow and allowing the universe to work for you. Here is here journey.
I have retired from nursing. I was an RN for 32 years. It actually became harder after a knee injury to be on my legs running around lugging a computer for 13 hours while taking care of people, and everything had to be perfect. No mistakes allowed and no time for breaks. There were days I would have 8 patients and discharge a couple of them meaning empty beds so I’d get more folks in from ER while taking care of the others. People were in for getting blood and sometimes you would have 2 of those patients at a time, so after a couple units then you discharge them and there you go another empty bed, another admission. People were in for serious medical problems and some may be sent to ICU and there you go, another admission. Tons of paperwork after the 12 hour shift ended. Nurses do so much that they do not get credit for doing. Now I am a retired nurse living on a small pension from a state job I had for 11 years. My children were doing fine so I finally for the first time in my life could do something for myself.
