Sayings and quotes that I never really understood make sense now.
"Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?"
Hello.. I have the worst time with anything my H says to me (he promptly moved out and initiated divorce proceedings 3 weeks after he said he had to live his own life). My own misery colors what is going on. He sent an informative text letting me know his plans while I was away. I cried because all I saw was how impersonal the message was and that he couldn't stand being anywhere near me.
After lifting the block of self centered emotion (helped by friends wielding 2x4's of common sense) I found the positive. He was keeping me informed, letting me know what was going on, it was very polite. I started to see the forest for the trees!
I'm working on taking the letting go, accepting the emotional mess of his departure and intent to D (my block) to listen to what he is saying AND take the time to improve myself.
Take a moment to read, to hear what is being suggested without the veil of hurt, helplessness. Relax your shoulders, breathe deeply and calm. Listen, listen listen.. no need to react.. listen..
