If we finally come to realize that our happiness
is not dependent upon other people; not dependent upon what they say or do or
think, this is a very liberating moment.
Normally we move through our lives
caught up somewhere between the hope of being liked and accepted or the fear of
being disliked or rejected.
The grey scale of our moods and
reactions between these two emotions is as vast as an ocean and we could easily
spend our entire lives swimming around in this cauldron of uncertainty,
swinging precariously from one mood to another, measuring our 'self-worth' by
the ever shifting gauge of fleeting emotions, thoughts and expectations. Those
of our own and those of 'others.'
Tapping into our inner resources, which
are vast and unchanging, is the only way we can ever become free.
On the most fundamental level, we can
say that 'we are one another,' just as we are also essentially part and parcel
of everything, but these are just words until we 'empower' them with our inner
experience and understanding.
It is one thing to know a truth and
quite another to own it.
