Be Open

I'm as guilty as the next person who "listens to speak" and has made snap judgements based on first glances. Really don't like that about myself, so I work really hard to correct this behaviour when I do it. Not easy sometimes, but such an important part of being a good human.

A good human. What does that mean? Well, for me, it means to remain open to changing your mind when necessary. This can be hard to do when the ego is as stubborn as it can be. Not changing our mind can bring us personal discomfort that we are willing to endure just so long as we are "right". Right with what we saw and right with what we hear. 

The only way to gain inner peace is to be honest with one's self. Is what I see and hear true? Why do I believe what I see and hear? Is it me that I want to please or is pleasing those around me more important?

A feeling of relief happens when you trust yourself to know what is right and what is wrong for you personally. This is not selfish. This is self preservation. I encourage everyone to seek their own inner peace that cannot be sought from what you hear or see, but from what you intuitively know already. <3
