I do my thing and you do your thing

I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.

I have recieved several emails in the last month asking if I'm eternally happy or if there is ever a day when I feel down in the dumps....apparently I do not show this side of me very often (online or even in real life for that matter)
In this time in my life.....well about the last 5 years to be exact I find that I am constantly trying to find the good in every situation, but yes there are times when I am not "Little Miss Sunshine" I find that it is usually when I am looking at myself through others eyes though....typically those that are not aligned with my growth. Being in the presence of people who are not encouraging teaches me to allow each to be themself....for me that is typically being in a positive space, looking for the good in all.....but when I try to comply to what others want for me it often tends to get me down.
I love this quote at the beginning of this blog and I love becoming this person who allows each to be who they are, not allowing my ego to make a judgment of good or bad just different. We are all so different and all so the same. I find that allowing others to believe what they believe and be whom ever they choose to be that I am able to give them a safe place in my arms. Instead of feeling judged or ridiculed they feel loved and accepted and these days thats pretty much all I'm concerned with doing......loving and accepting......oh ya and receiving the same from those I share my space with. Love me for me not for who you want me to be :o)

Very beautiful, Jung Girl! How could anyone not see the love and beauty you radiate each and every day? Even on the most cloudy, overcast, rainy (and windy) days, your light is absolutely glorious! Wishing you more love and acceptance! :)
Wow! Jung girl, well said. Thanks for sharing. Yes, indeed, not all people can meet you all times, with the same intensity and immensity , and with the same level of understanding…as we go more deeper. And when and if we do, it's a greatest blessing! Love and hugs to you, and your boy.:)
And Micheal, what an amazingly beautiful response, I totally agree.How could people not see, feel the sun and it's warmth, the radiance, and the brilliance, even from behind the dark clouds….
yes, we've to have the courage to explore all facets of ourselves; and allow the other to do the same.
Linking your blog to mine today.
really like this one!
I have always loved that quote and am glad to be reminded of it. Wow, so much communicating going on around here today, as it is many days. Yet, there have been some really intense exchanges. Mostly because of what this points out.
If more of us could practice that in our lives, there would be alot less tension from trying to make the other change or resisting the force we sense when someone does that to us.
I really believe that I am mostly accepting and allowing but I know there are too many times I still forget this wise advice and act otherwise.
Thank you - for the last line - Love me for me not for who you want me to be. You are loved for being you.

How beautiful … beautifully put, and a whole way of life. This has touched me deeped, and as Deb said, that last line … “Love me for me not for who you want me to be. You are loved for being you.” That is powerful stuff.
