Do yourself a favor

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

Do yourself a favor and take mixed signals as a no.

When you find yourself trying to force something on someone, you might be in the wrong place.

When it comes to personal attractions and relationships, sometimes we are blinded by our own desires- suppressing a very large or exaggerating a very tiny aspect of ourselves in order to capture our beauties attention.

NOW, when intentions are good and it doesn't work out- you can walk away smiling. Whether that's in your personal affairs, work or anywhere in life.

As Swami V says, do your best and forget the rest.

Some other things to consider...

You can't expect people to keep at your pace. Whether you're the one moving too fast or too slow, it is absurd to demand(conscious or unconscious) someone else walk with you. There will be others who are in harmony with your current life situation, and there will be those who aren't.

Make peace wherever you are. <3

Thanks for your take on this thread Eric!

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood ...

What I was trying to say to you on the phone, if it makes sense, is that you and I both went through a similar struggle where outside forces felt challenged by our own personalities and we've had to go through a maturation process of sorts that coalesce with today's environment. During my time with this confronting reality I prayed a lot to God and asked for help and understanding. I believe it strengthened my Faith and I was able to see God respond to my internal dialogue. At that time, October 25th 2019 I happened to hear the same song you shared recently but on the radio. I felt as if the lyrics were speaking directly to my life situation. So it is very fitting and, pleasantly peculiar that you too would receive the same inspiration almost one year later. And to unknowingly say, "whispers from spirit" tagged in the post to me is like God winking at us both. I just realized it was also posted at a fabled :55 time prompt(555).

Yesterday, Steve, I felt God at work. And he acknowledged me through my breath up and down my spine in an instantaneous fashion. I was pushing myself and having an open conversation with God in prayer. Immediately he would send customers my way as a response to my internal request and when all I could do was say wow, he lit my spine up with such peaceful- blissful expression. As if to say, "I hear you. I see you." And I would say, I feel you.

What I was saying earlier, was that it is mind blowing to think of ourselves as material objects in space and time- all Gods creation. And no matter where you find your self in any moment he is able to answer you- he is able to manipulate your external world to acknowledge your internal one. It really makes you question, what are we in a way that alludes to us being more than a particular density, a formation of nerve endings or even the shapes that we've identified ourselves with.

To see, feel and KNOW God is Alive- All ways responding NOW. Yes, it is a wow moment factor of infinitude. In this way, whatever challenges our thrown our way- we can be grateful and find the moments that strengthen our faith and anchor our desire to Know God and Be IN God. This way, no matter what happens, we are with the One who guides us past our immediate existence through and through.
