Telling

It’s funny how good we are at telling others what to do, say, think, how to behave, what to eat, how to speak, what to wear, what job to do, and so on. We never run out of an opinion.

Yet when we are on the receiving end of others telling us we do not like it. We feel restricted, we feel coerced, we fell controlled. Strange that we then do that internally to ourselves too, the voice of authority that the mind uses.

If we live free from forming opinions of others and ourselves, we live free and we allow others the same.

Don’t tell just be.

Will you be first?

Will you let it go when someone is rude to you?

Will you be the person to not get angry?

Will you give the other person the benefit of the doubt?

Will you be the person who does not judge others before reacting?

Will you accept others might be right?

Will you be the person to say sorry first?

Will you be the one who decides out of love?

Will you be the first to change?

Why are we always waiting for the other person to do something before we do?
