Randomness!


It’s one thing to know where your bread is buttered and another thing to appreciate he/she who you go there. It’s one thing to be grateful but another thing to feel indebted to someone who has helped you that you can never be truly free or enjoy where you are in life or what you have achieved. I encourage you to be grateful but not imprisoned by your gratitude to someone that you find yourself overburdened by the “need” to fulfill expectations that may not even exist—they could all just be in your head. When you are grateful, you are free and so is the giver of the gift. You are not free from being grateful, but you are free from being in bondage because someone helped you get from here to there.

When you think about the people you have helped and how grateful they are to you… or the people that have helped you along the way and how grateful you are to them… where do you stand? What is the relationship like? Is anyone (them or yourself) holding something over your head reminding you daily that they helped you? That’s not a healthy place to be if that constant thinking, meditation, etc. begins to have a negative impact or effect on you that you somehow want to repay it all.

You can never repay it all to the depth that you desire because even if it’s something like money, land, etc. you may be able to pay that in full… but their (or your) "time without" what they gave you, you (or they) can never repay. I hope this randomness makes sense today. :) My hope is that you will be grateful but not imprisoned by what other people have done for you and vice versa. Life’s too short to be trapped like that. Be free!
