What we give

Posted on by philipdodson

What we want from others can only be as much as we are prepared to give and we have to be prepared to be that person first without any condition or attaching anything to our actions.

If we want more love we have to be love

If we want more kindness we have to be kindness.

If we want more empathy we have to be empathetic.

We have these expectations of others which we could choose to have none and then there can not be disappointment.

What we give out will come back. We have to be the light and example not simply expect it from others.

Caring about everything

Posted on by philipdodson

Letting go brings us the most peace in life yet is one of the most challenging things to do. We are attached to so much from people, places, possessions, opinions and much more. The attachment makes it an extension of our own ego and therefore the mind must react to protect and preserve.

We are conditioned to care about everything and be always right no matter what. Really, it doesn’t matter.

Pause, breathe and let go. The instant reaction is always from the ego. Acceptance of ‘what is’ leads to inner peace and if we act, as we may choose not to, it’s from that place of peace and calm, free of attachment and free of suffering.

Letting go is the route to consciousness, peace and joy.
