Impacts :1: Acceptance
My friends and i were talking at a coffee about the advice we have heard from someone that had made a huge impact on our life or the way we thought. i couldnt think up of anything that night. but heres what i came up later on. i thought i'd write them all down as they came to mind from all the different ppl that had given advice with a mixture of my own put in it.hehe. i have to give them credit which made me think about those stuff in the first place right?
If u stand out on the road and look carefully at a 100 ppl walking past u, U'll find something wrong with each and every one of them. if it be their hairstyle, the clothes they are wearing, the face, the necklaces, earings, handbands or even their walking style or their physique. ull find something odd about them. its not a problem with them. its a problem with YOU! u cant accept the different lifestyles that surround u. u cant accept them for whom they have chosen to be. everyone is different in their own way. they dont have to like the things you do and they dont have to react like u would. there is no perfect right answer. but then again its no big surprise why we react like that. when we stand infront of a mirror we are unable to accept even how we look. too fat, too slim, scars, big nose etc etc. we are even unable to accept how we look.then how can we accept the things and ppl around us.
Ur going to be travelling to alot of countries and getting to meet alot of different ppl. u need to accept the fact that they wont think like u. we've got musims, christians, atheists etc living in this world. ppl who has such a huge difference to us in their views and opinions about stuff. we need to atleast accept the ppl we live with in this little country of ours. never let ur anger overwhelm u and never let those ppl around u influence you and change who you are and what u believe in. everyone knows when they are faced with a situation, what the right and wrong choices are.its just a question of which one ur going to take or which different lifestyles or ways u wanna follow.
"To every tree there are roots,To see these is to believe, Have faith, hope is but a branch. See with the eyes of truth,Accept me for who I am.
It is easy to speak the words.But words are so much harder to prove, Flash light on the shadows of truth.See my roots with eyes of belief, Only then will I finally shine through.
Struggling, words will crumble it all. Profess with more than this, Help me not to fall away.See me for who I am. Unmask the roots of my tree....and
Grasp every cell of me with acceptance."
