Recently, I have had a prolonged visit in my meditation garden. It’s a place of solitude and a place to connect to concepts of understanding. Everyone needs a place that can offer them such
peace, because once you acquire a ‘purpose-driven life’, you will find that people whom you call
friends will began to fall off your radar.
This is because of changes that are going on in your life, and they don’t understand, or vice versa. Sometimes our expectations can be too high of others, and they fall short at other times
the expectations are simple and self explanatory .ie, have you ever done something for
someone and that person never said: “Thank You”? This is not puritanical theology. However,
sometimes people will get so familiar with you, they believe it’s acceptable to do things in an
unorderly fashion. Yet, disappointment is the cornerstone of many leaders in the Bible. This
is why the epithet: Don’t put your trust in man, should be the bread we live by.
Although, it is difficult when those who are close to you do inexplicable things, or act in ways
that they believe will impede your progress, know for certain that weapon want prosper. Your journey must continue, even if it is alone. Nonetheless, there are lessons to be taken from each action that people show forth to you, and then you will know whether to include that person in your circle, keep them in your circle, exclude them from your circle, or put them out!…But don’t let
disappointment block you from moving forward no matter what.
Until next time,
THB
