As
you know from my two previous posts, Being Humble and Time, Spirituality and Happiness,
I’ve been an avid encourager of practical spirituality.
Accept
others’ mistakes.
That’s
it. Whether it’s once or even 10 times – accept the people as they are and move
on. Day by day, build this habit. Keep a journal of your feelings, challenge
yourself in new situations. Seems pretty simple, but it’s something all of us struggle
with at one time or another. Improving oneself is important, and many posts on
this blog and others can be helpful – but you can’t progress unless you try. I
know that’s not what you want to hear, and I truly wish there was an easy way,
but I’m sorry. That’s just the way it is. Nothing is easy, especially not being
tolerant in relationships.
I
also know you want to improve – otherwise you wouldn’t be here, would you?
Maybe you are thinking about making yourself a better human being, and once you’ve
read everything, you’ll become a stunningly amazing individual. May be you’ve
tried to shed arrogance but it attacks you at your weakest moment, and disheartenly
you backed out. But not anymore.
Just
do it. Become more receptive to others’ ideas, their nature and their way of
handling daily crisis.
Accepting
others the way they are is hard. Only people who have never worked on
themselves will tell you otherwise. You’re not alone in feeling that way. More
than one of great saints has likened acceptance of others as living the awful parts
of life, wounding yourself, bashing your
head against the actual feelings. But you still need to do it. For now, don’t
worry too much about how may hurt you again, or you might not be taken
seriously, or any of that serious stuff. For now, just worry about taking a
step into practical spirituality and divorcing the arrogance.
