Yep, here we go!
“You’re selfish.”
“You’ve changed.”
“You don’t listen to me.”
Knowing what I know of people, whenever someone calls you selfish – it means they are. Psychologist types call it projection, don’t you know.
It means you aren’t agreeing with them 100% of the time.
It means you aren’t doing the things they want to do 100% of the time.
On the positive side – it means you are doing things your way.
Most people don’t like you doing things your way, it means they can’t control you like they used to (like you allowed them to.)
I have tried desperately hard to make things work even when it’s been destructive and I have taken on the responsibility of other people.
STOP! Look! Listen!
Why are you not walking your own path?
Who are you protecting?
What are you avoiding?
Where are you in your own life?
Why are you denying yourself the things you want?
Take a solid lesson learnt, from me. Stop taking responsibility and making excuses for other people. That’s their job. And it’s really fucking difficult to do when you can see ‘potential’ in them. That’s their job too, to realise it or not.
The Path of One means this – understand what you CAN and CAN’T change and what makes your life better and more wholesome.
If you’re avoiding/procrastinating over the wonderful dreams you have, that does no one any good – most of all you. It means you feel you don’t deserve things and it means you will drift through your entire life and waste it.
I will repeat – the greatest lesson I learnt from my mentor – the greatest concentration of genius is in graveyards – DEAD! I learnt many lessons of morbidity and despair from my ex and in parting as he left my life for the last time – I reminded him that everything he focused on was gone but that I was LIVING.
If you’re reading this, you have the chance of your life…..
To make your life better.
To focus on joy and living.
To realise your true power and true worth.
If someone calls you selfish for that? Well! Those are the people to relegate solely to your past, to wish well and move on for good.
