I'm fairly well convinced that the way to a fret-free life is the way of depersonalizing...taking nothing personally. Feel a nip of resistance? Say "thank you," find the sliver of gold in it...then build on that.
Depersonalize, detach, loosen, release, let go. In the long-ago words of my beloved mentor, Cling to nothing, fly!
I'm becoming more convinced than ever that to get a contented life we must live a turned over life...our free will turned back to God. When we turn our will over to God, we are graced with the spiritual care and concern of and for others. Meaning, our thoughts are for them, their well-being...especially those we don't have a natural affinity for. You know, those we once called dirt bag.
And why not? We are secure knowing we are God's care and concern which, in order to live it, we must pass it on.
Isn't it amazing? All we need do to have a contented life is to develop an attitude of gratitude...and live in it.
Thank you.
