In Everything There is Evolution....

What is evolution?  Not in the scientific sense but in the more abstract sense as it applies to our own personal development; how we see ourselves and the people around us.

I often wonder why we give everyone else a hard time when they make mistakes of falter. After all, we are constantly evolving and changing. As life progresses so do we. Sometimes we transgress and that is okay too.  Life is but a bunch of hills, sometimes we go up, sometimes we go down. There's always another level of terrain off in the distance to deal with too.

I wish that we would accept others as we accept ourselves. We are most critical of ourselves but we are also more accepting of ourselves when we make mistakes. We are quicker to forgive ourselves as well.  But why, do we hold on to resentment towards others so much more? One should really think about this as it pertains to them individually.

No one on this earth is exempt from falling. What we can do is understand the difference between ideals and reality.  The difference between good change and bad change.  The evolution of our lives does not end except in death. (we think!) So we never reach that ideal of perfection that we created in our minds. What we can do is find security in the fact that we are always in a stage of betterment and improvement. Our development is relative to our beliefs.  We believe, we become.

Truth be Told: We are no better than the people we criticize. We all evolve and change with the times, with the people in our lives and the experiences we encounter. It helps to realize that others are fighting the cycles too. It's the process of life. 

Quantifying Love

Love is not love until you give it away. Not true. Not exactly.  You can harbor love, you can let love live in your heart and grow like itty bitty seedling until you are ready to give it away.  But you must. It's always there, sometimes it's knocking to get out and other times it just kinda lays dormant until someone is on the outside waiting to get in. Don't ever miss your opportunity or be stingy with what you have inside of you.

People hold back their love for such a varied array of reasons. I can only know why I may have at times, and wonder about every one else. Most do it out of fear, a lot probably don't even know why they are so guarded but you have to ask yourself why. And then you have to ask yourself what you are waiting for.  It's not like it runs out. Love never runs out, time however, will. It's the one thing we have in life that that is always available in plenitude. It's funny how some never use what God has given them for free to pass on to others.
 No one says you have to give it all away to one person.. or even to a member of the opposite sex.. give your love to a neighbor, a child, a stranger.. in your own way. Pay it forward with love and it will come back to you. I can attest to that. Problem with people is, they only choose to see love as something that only comes to them in quantity massive. Love comes around all the time, in quiet ways; you just have to look for it and it will be there to find you.

Truth be Told: Love is the only thing that feels just as good giving it away as it does receiving it. Don't waste moments not putting it out into the world for others to enjoy.
