I am closer and closer to reaching my goals each day lately. In the recent past, I would have given up by now...and let myself sink deeper and deeper. Not these days though...I am feeling a huge sense of relief. I am also feeling stronger inside and at peace with myself and others...even if I have felt wrongly treated by them. In the past, it was so hard for me to forgive someone without the person actually being sorry. I think if we unconditionally forgive someone for what we perceive as negative actions towards us, then we will consequently bring peace upon ourselves and others.
I have, in the past, let people get me down by their attitudes and actions. It felt as if I was taking on the weight of the world sometimes. Not so much anymore...it seems as though things go in one ear and out the other...bothered for a sec then let go of it lately. I am feeling a sense of accomplishment with my attitude of not letting others get the best of me, nor caring about whatever judgemental misinterpretation they may think based upon my past actions or what seems to shine through on the outside. You can't judge a book by it's cover, that's for certain.
I believe that people can be easily misguided, especially these days. When the wrong "leaders" get into the power chair...it can easily set a bad tone. Of course, it does take the perfect mix to make a good cocktail...LOL...by that I mean when people that are easily mislead follow these so-called "I have no filter...I just say what I want without caring about the consequences and how it is going to effect others" type people...it makes for bad karma. By that, I mean...the followers feel enpowered and happy go lucky...but they are not realizing that even though they are left with these so called "good" feelings inside...they are losing a sense of themselves and own uniqueness. In doing this they are going to be judged by others for the wrong and misguiding actions of the leaders their following, when in fact, they may actually hold their own values and opinions inside.
Then there are those that actually listen to everything they hear, especially when told info by certain "leaders", and make judgements based solely around this. They are only making division by doing this, as well as a negative environment for other people. They are choosing to live in this false, corrupt world of drama...and are bound to clearly end up on the wrong path completely if they continue to engage in these behaviors over and over. They may be choosing to do so for different reasons, like avoiding their own problems. It's so easy to pick apart someone else, for the sake of not having to face one's own harsh reality. Filling a void like this will only bring people farther away from the ultimate desires they are trying to fulfill inside.
Again, I may be trying to change the world again, which I clearly am aware I can not do, but this may get through to someone out there that is unaware of their actions, or that is aware...but has not actually taken the time to really think about what misguiding others or what being misguided acutally means and the consequences it will bear. I am only trying to make a better, more positive atmosphere in the world. It seems like there's not enough of this these days, and since I feel the drive to bring good change...why not go with it.
Lastly, I want to address the positive leaders and my views on the "right" leadership. There is the other side, as with everything out there...those with good leadership skills. In following my value system and heart, I have chosen to be lead by who I consider to be good leaders/ role models so far...and therefore choose to be guided by. Just because most of us are not born to be leaders, however, doesn't mean that we can't help guide others toward what we think is the right direction. Good leadership is hard to find these days, as it takes a lot to be a good leader, such as a strong sense of oneself and courage to stand up for what one believes in, as well as many other traits. Only certain people bring forth good leadership (or are striving to do so)...but those of us being lead can choose who we are pursuaded and lead by for whatever reasons we individually consider... the "right" way in our hearts and minds. We are all raised by a specific value system, but it's up to us individually let the values that we consider to be positive, worthy one's come forth and then the other good values will be gained as we go along (such as by good decisions)....building our own unique value system in the end. This is when we can truly be sure we are being directed by the "right" leader and the "good" leader can be truly sure of that they are leading right...a win win scenario for all and one that will make the world a better place for everyone.
