Knowing Thyself

One of the things we often we hear, is how important it is to know thyself. We can learn more about ourselves by meditating and reflecting upon who we are. But what happens when our spirit becomes stronger as we work towards living a life with true intentions? How does our life change as our insight into human nature becomes clearer? As our journey continues, we will need to be aware when we are being intolerant and judgemental towards others. We are no different from anyone else. We are here to be true to ourselves, so that we can help others. We are all evolving, so we can only see others for who they were yesterday and what they choose to be today. There are reasons that people are in our lives, not always for the good. But it is one of our lessons to learn to acknowledge these people with respect, then send them on their way. Today, be wise when choosing your words, for words are energy and will be part of the universal flow. Remember when you hurt others intentionally, it comes back to you in many other ways. Take a deep breath and ask your spirit to guide you towards living a life of true compassion.
I wish life was as simple as a flowing stream,
at least I would know the direction I was going...
