Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.

Yeah, there's " No Mr Wizard to fix it!".
Excellent truths on the reality of life. Well written on life truths. I can also relate 😺!

Agreed. Letting go is the hardest. Second hardest: It ain't fair, and it's not going to be.

Amazing post.

"Life goes on, long after the joy of living is gone" from Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane".

Yes, I've endured.

And yes, I've run away to survive.

Life goes on.

Hardest lesson? Letting go.

In response to "The ten percent"

Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!

I agree the lack of love for ourselves keeps us from being the best we can be.

So true! You are very courageous to walk away from someone that would probably not be of much help to you in your life.

Sounds like it's a great place to explore the sites and to try new food. Thanks for sharing.

Useless Old Stick of Wood

There is a small stick of broken, useless, dried wood. It's so worthless that a wood gatherer won't even look at it twice since it's not even good for firewood. It looks so utterly useless that there's not a single place in the heavens and earth for it.

If you can't become the equivalent of this useless stick of wood, then all your practice is in vain. The more you try to impress others, the more you become nothing but a madman doing a futile dance and the more you stray further and further away from cleansing the heart.

So you see, if you wish to cleanse the heart, you have to become a totally useless and worthless, a complete failure in the eyes of the world.

For the eternal, you have to sacrifice everything and turn your back on the world. You have to become someone who can be rejected by everyone, someone who can be despised everywhere, and someone who is dedicated to one thing and one thing only: cleansing the heart. Not a single other thing matters.
