Many times we go through life with our eyes closed. We are blind to what is in front of us. We are blind to difficult truths about self and others. We are afraid if we open our eyes. If we have our eyes wide open we fear we may be hurt or disappointed or we may create emotions in others that we don’t want them to feel. And yet, when we have our eyes closed, we end up getting hurt, disappointed and we tend to take on others emotions on top of our own emotions. Then we become overwhelmed and overloaded and try to close our eyes even tighter. But what if we just opened our eyes to what is truly in front of us? What if we went into new relationships, jobs, situations with our eyes wide open so that we could “see everything?” And then make decisions about how we want to move forward in those relationships, jobs, and situations. Wouldn’t we actually get hurt LESS? Wouldn’t we get LESS disappointment? And wouldn’t we take on LESS of other’s emotions? Just something to ponder with your eyes wide open.
Namaste, my friends.
