What matters most....

Today, I'm experiencing a personal 'break-through'. I didn't even realize I was 'due one', but then isn't that the best kind, the most effective? Not knowing that you 'need' one means you've stopped trying so hard to analyze, realize, and control every single aspect of your life....in other words, you are just being, well, YOU?!

Doing so can be somewhat liberating, until you come face-to-face with yourself again, and you see that 'issues' are still looming, staring back at you. You hear what others are saying to you, about you, maybe you don't 'hear' them necessarily, but you do 'see/hear' yourself mirrored back, finally, and that IS the one constant, right...yourself? Others only 'faciliate' (knowingly or unknowingly) this arrival...and only after you clearly 'see' yourself, can you determine whether their role in your life is healthy or otherwise. Regardless, others are not to blame, not accountable for YOUR part in what's taking place...only for their role.

I've heard these very words over and over and over (yes, 'ad-nauseam') without FULLY 'understanding' (practicing) how they apply. What matters today, is that I've had the 'break-through', and I'm ready to move on....
