I AM RESPONSIBLE ONLY FOR WHAT I WRITE - NOT FOR WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND

I stumbled upon this quote and was attracted to it with thoughts churning with much interest. This line may come across as somewhat stern to some. But I think that's not the intention whoever wrote it. It's more of real good sense, honesty, and understanding.

To quote:
πŸƒ "I am responsible only for what I say not for what you understand." - Unknown.πŸƒ

 Unquote.

πŸƒ 'Tis true we never can read a person's mind, no matter how close that person is to us. The mind is a mystery and always will be. So is the heart. So then when I say things or write my thoughts down, I do not expect listeners or readers to see it or understand it the way I may want it understood. Maybe some will and that's such a blessing, appreciate it lots. But some won't or can't or will not. Still good because I respect the differences of our respective histories and nature. People are as different as the wide range of colors of the rainbow. That simply makes it even more interesting. We may be looking at the same thing but you may be seeing apples where I see grapes -- or maybe you see some good where I can see something different, and vice versa. But I am responsible for what I say or write. Because out of the heart the pen writes or the mouth speaks. Everybody is and should....

☘ -- be careful that whatever is said or written would not in any way be detrimental to another person's personal growth or well-being. -- Would not detract from the beauty of his god-given nature and soul. -- Would not diminish his self-worth. -- Would give credit where credit is due. -- Would seek more to understand individual differences and flaws. -- Would not feed his fears, doubts, frustrations, or even bias. -- But would allow for his greater potential and possibilities to shine through and out to the world. -- Better yet to help clear his way or nudge him gently along the path of his life journey, by God's design.

☘ Such is the journey laid out for us all, by divine design. From the heart of my pen to yours... God bless you!πŸ’•

PEOPLE BLAST A HOLE IN YOUR LIFE - YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT



😊Stumbled upon these lines today..... "You know, people talk about closure, but I don’t buy it. People blast a hole in your life, it tends to stay open."

πŸƒ That made me think.

That hole in one's life therefore doesn't really disappear!??? πŸ™„ So it's not just a skin-deep, superfluous, temporal thing that simply leaves on its own or goes away when the cause is eliminated. It's there as real as potholes and bumps on our city streets which undergo a thousand makeovers but underneath it all still lie the hole or holes. Not wise therefore to simply gloss over a person's pain to make him feel better. So it doesn't work that way.
πŸƒ
'A hole in your life' could mean a lot of things. A hurtful relationship, a betrayal, bad things happening to good people in your life, failures, rejection, and other mountain-size of unpleasantness, to say the least, that hits you straight where it can hurt most. That hole in your life is a core-deep experience. The core, as we know it to be, is usually that place within where you find your comfort safety and balance. But as life seems to have the knack for doing it... one day it sends something to blast through those safe walls and create a hole, a damn huge one, which then shakes up your world big time.
πŸƒ
What a great lesson..... to deal with the holes in our life... not meaning to close them as it never will. It may simply stay there as an ugly bump, a stinging sore and scar, or stays there as a gaping hole... defiant maybe and could hurt you again when someone or something rubs you the wrong way one day.
πŸƒ
But and πŸ€“BUT you don't let it define you as a person. Rather you let it be a reminder that you above all else can be stronger and smarter than you think. That you know about 'holes in our life'... it's part of the landscape, territory, tapestry, spectrum, diversity, and the reality of the good-the bad-and the ugly ... of our existence, like it or not.
πŸƒ
That you have learned well and have become much wiser - smarter - better - and importantly in control. That you have learned to use the tools wired in you by the Divine to overcome challenge. Now isn't this what they say about true power? πŸ˜ŠπŸ™‚πŸ˜˜
