Do not concern yourself with what others do or leave
undone. It is not your responsibility to evaluate their thoughts or their
actions. Simply be responsible for how you think and act. For if you think and
act with God you will influence others without saying a single word.
Confessions on the journey! Today it seemed that things
here were just getting on my nerves! The things that I would normally not
bother about were pissing me off. I jumped into my car to drive to base, I was
pissed at the divers on the road who follow no particular order, overtaking on
corners, driving on either side of the road, the boda boda men on their bikes
were part of my high pissosity! I got to base, I jumped out of the car, Madam
there’s no Internet. What? (this is not a very abnormal thing, it goes down
every week) I was like what? I got on the phone right away! Poor Frank on the
other end got some of the backlash of my pissed off state! Then I realised,
wait things are just spiralling let me jump back in my car and take a drive,
note to self, don’t drive on the roads here in a high state of piss! You notice
all the things that are in disarray and disorder! The traffic lights are just
there for decoration, the roundabouts are a free for all! I sat there in the
traffic and it hit me! A course in miracles is right, you are never really
upset for what you think you are! Acceptance of what is! Arguing with reality
is sufferation! Acceptance doesn’t mean you like it! It means that you accept
that it is that way and you move to suit the circumstances! I sat there and
asked myself, what’s this time trying to teach me? I came back to acceptance
and patience! Accept that the place is disorderly, the Internet works
intermittently, the electricity is sporadic and start working from there! I
started smiling at all the disorderly drivers, I found some other work to do
and the peace started coming back to me! Next week I’m checking out some new
Internet service providers though!
Have a peaceful day all!
Peace!
