LET THE LIST GO
Please let the list go and "Let
the God in you, see the God
in them." I have
met so many people lately who
have created a list of what
they want in a mate. Actually,
that is the latest strategy
given in most dating books -
"Create a list and get
the date you want". Well,
I am sure that a list is helpful
when going to the grocery store
or shopping for shoes or clothing
(a static purchase); I am just
not as convinced that it is
best when you are looking for
a mate or a person to "flirt"
with (a dynamic experience).
You
see people don't come with directions
and we are all different. We
are constantly evolving and
growing. You never know what
miracle could be walking into
your life and because he or
she didn't meet the requirement
for #7 on the list you pass
them up. You are a spiritual
being with infinite resources
available to you. Instead of
looking for what the person
doesn't have; why not look at
what he or she does have and
put that on a list!! It could
say something like: "I
like this about him or her."
You could also make a list about
the great things that you have
to offer and the great things
you see happening everyday in
life. Make a list of gratitude
--not one to block your blessings.
As you start looking and appreciating
everything and person that this
world has to offer, more powerful
things and people will be presented
to you.
You never know why a person
is in your life. They could
be there for a reason or a season.
A great goal is to explore you
and learn about the beauty in
everyone. Present your beauty
to everyone you meet and see
how many people gravitate to
you. Focus on the good (we are
not creating a customized car,
house or computer - this is
another human being - for goodness
sake). It is kind of like the
saying "if you water your
grass it will be green too".
Water your grass with positive
things and be open to who is
presented in your life. The
next time you are so quick to
dismiss someone because they
don't have everything on your
list… think about how
you are not the same person
that you were yesterday (believe
it or not your hair has grown
and your nails just since last
night). I am not all, what I
want to be, but Thank God I
am not what I used to be!! This
is true for you too! More often
than not the reason why you
are not what you used to be
is because somewhere someone
gave you a chance. You probably
were not on their list and you
did alright. Don't limit yourself.
Be open to what is presented.
"Let
the God in you see the God in
every person that you meet".
