HJFinAZ: No human creature can give orders to love.
--George Sand
If we're trying to get others to love us, all we're really doing is trying to be in control. Trying to control others can be a powerful drug. Remember, we can't control others. We can't make others love us. Our Higher Power has control, not us.
So, what do we need to do? Turn things over to our Higher Power and just be ourselves. Sure, it can scare us to just be ourselves. The truth is, not everyone will love us. But if we're honest about who we are, others will respect us. We'll like ourselves better. And we'll have a better chance of loving others and being loved.
Prayer for the Day
I pray to have my need for control lifted from me. I pray to be rid of self-will.
Action for the Day
Today, I'll list five ways my self-will - my need to control - has gotten me in trouble.
Taking the 10th,hmm?--George Sand

Oh My HJ, I have truly missed you.
I agree 100% that is why somewhere in my profile, I think
I said something about the fact that I do not come with an
instruction manual.

Being yourself and not being something you think others see you fit to be is a sound approach. If you're the real you all the time, then you don't have to remember anything. You can just be.
Besides, how cool is it to be a phony when you know the mask will come off eventually. The worst part is not what others think about you, it's what you think of yourself.
You are what you think of yourself.

Interesting addition to my own thoughts of the past couple of days, and other things pointing in this direction too.
Yes, I've given up all control of this issue to focus on other things instead.------ This thread is Archived ------
