see the good in people

I’d like to start looking for the good in people and stop trying to pick out the bad and trying to fix it.

I think this has ruined many friendships and relationships. [:

This is brobably my major flaw, my tragic flaw! I always pick faults in people, my friends especially, and I end up getting aggravated and annoyed over little traits and habit of the people around me. It’s stupid. I know. I have a hundredfold more faults than all my friends put together, and yet I continue to look down at every weeny mistake they make. It’s me that has to change, I don’t need new friends because eventually the sam ething would happen over and over. I don’t really know how one would overcome such a thing as this… and see the good in people. I think about some strategies I can putin to place to change this stupid mindset of mine. I’ve even started having dreams where people I know are really mean or stupid and I wake up angry with them before the day has even begun. It has to stop. Now. Any sugestions? Apart from using paragraphs.

Lately I’ve been seeing good qualities and potential friendships in everyone. Much better than I was before I have to say.

notice and compliment.

with many thanks for the inspiration to ThisBeI :-)

what a wonderful human being !

I do not subscribe to any “man made” religion.
yet i am not an athiest.

I believe in a greater power than myself, and i believe that power dwells in us all.
I believe we are tiny parts of a greater god. A god so powerful and loving that nothing can stand in its way.

United in that understanding, we (as a species) can do anything.

Everyone i have ever met has had a good side to their nature, and because they are human, a bad side to their nature.
balanced.
I am a long way from being perfect… my looks are ok.. my mind is ok… i could be a lot better if i had been made “in the image of god”...
i am not an image… i am alive and i am living. Right now.

Finding the good in me (and others) can sometimes be difficult.

We are all human beings, and many of us do not see that we are here to help each other find solutions to problems and help each other along in life. We do not need to be bigger, stronger, more powerful than our neighbour (or have a bigger car, computer, TV set, etc), to be perfect.

We are one species which dwells on this planet at this moment in time and we can be perfect when we “unite” the power of our god filled souls…

Our time is fleeting in the scheme of things.

Why hate when we can love instead.
Why resent when we can share instead.
Why be bitter when we can share the sweetness of joy instead.
Why be angry when we can turn that emotion into peaceful ACTION and unite souls of passion to join us in the right way of god.

A way forwards in which no-one is harmed.

I do my best to represent the god that dwells within my soul … i spend my life trying to help those who do not see the light that burns brightly in their souls that we all share in this, our precious gift, our very own Garden of Eden. Our planet desperately needs help right now to be what she once was and was always meant to be… a precious gift for us all to share for all eternity. We are her living custodians.

We have many lessons to learn in our short lifetimes, and the only way to find real wisdom is to get through the “bad” times and learn from our mistakes in the process.

“Bad” people are not really so bad, in fact they come to us in order to give us the gift of wisdom. It is up to each individual to accept these difficult lessons when they touch our short lives.

when i look (really) deeply into the eyes of my children… the loving light of paradise is there….i can dive right in, and the feeling i get is beyond a wordy description.

If i can see god in every living thing… the good in everything… i will have found paradise in this lifetime.
