I feel like I'm in this new stage of life recently - selflessness. I am fed by situations that humble me and situations where I can be selfless. I still put me first - in a common sense way, but I find myself welcoming these opportunities to give, share, step aside, help. Also opportunities to see how I can improve, or what was my role, analyzing and admitting my faults.

Recently, I outgrew a grudge I was determined to hold onto, but I let it go because I saw a mirror reflection. The reflection was a more exaggerated reflection in someone that has a stronger grudge against me. This guy goes out of his way (in the public) to walk near me, come around me, and almost follow me around...just so he can give me a cold stare and turn the other way and not speak when I speak. He is upset over something I said to him. So as I was on the phone telling my friend and my mom(who thinks the guy is crazy and demanded that I tell her his first and last name, LOL)...I realized that I need to let go of the grudge I was holding against someone. I was humbled. Realizing this person did do something foul BUT I am not putting peace into the universe by holding onto this thing.

It was humbling to see that I had issues myself - but yet was on the phone talking about somebody else with the same issue.

I love seeing things like this about myself so I can change my ways and move towards being a better person.

Just wanted to note that.

Also -I'm reading this book called "Its Not About You, Its About God"....and its on the same path.

it's hard being able to see yourself in others sometimes because it makes you think, "is that how i REALLY act?" at least, that's what i ask myself.

for me, it's more humbling to see myself in my children through their actions. when i see something i don't like, i try and make myself a better woman and in doing so, a better mom.
