Maybe the reason we don't have harmony is because we are too busy judging what doesn't appear to be harmonious with us and what we believe.

Ever notice how easily we focus on others and judge their actions as inferior when we doubt and question the things we believe and do?

You are where you are for whatever reason you are. Be kind to yourself.

It strikes me that when we feel helpless, we seek to find a reason, someone or something to blame, because somehow it gives us the illusion that we can control and fix things in the future.

The life we live is something we "buy" with our beliefs and invest in with our choices.

If we lived more from the person we would like ourselves to be and less from the "ideal" that others would like to experience us as, I suspect we would be lying a whole lot less, and liking ourselves a whole lot more. It takes a lot of effort to defend something we're not.
