LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE

All those people you look up to, who you hold so high up, your view of them is distorted. Lower them down. Not bring them down, just lower them down in your view so you can look at them in the eye and know you too have great qualities within you, just as you see in them. When you hold someone so high above you, it will only be a matter of time that they do something to disappoint you. Yet when you allow yourself to see a balance of greatness at the same time as knowing they too have areas of work, you will feel more equal to them, you won't feel disappointed or surprised by their ways and you will be able to communicate with them with more ease. Same goes with those who you may look down on, your view of them is also distorted. Bring them up. Bring them up to you, so you can look at them in the eye also. When you look down on someone and think yourself as a better human than them, it won't be long before one day they may just surprise the shit out of you and you will want to know how they did what they did. Never underestimate anyone, for all have greatness that's within them. And if you can be the one to look them in the eye as an equal, you may just be the one that lights the fire in their belly that opens them up to their greatness. So for those you hold high up, who you see all the good in, allow yourself to see where they may not be perfect in your eyes to bring balance back to life, so you can look them in the eyes and feel ok about yourself too. And for those you look down on, who you see or think are useless or not good enough in your eyes, allow yourself to see where they have got it good, where their talents are, so you can too look at them in the eyes and have them feel good about themselves. We all have our talents, our areas in which we thrive at, And we also all have our flaws, areas where we don't value as much or pay much attention too as others may do. So knowing this, accepting this, allows you to look at people just for who they are, With no judgement, no comparison. I have and still do, experience both sides. I feel it inside of me when I'm not looking at someone in the eye as they deserve to be looked at. At times I still hold people high up or look down on them...and neither makes me feel good. I hear the words I use, the thoughts I think and there are times I have to give myself a good hard talking too. Words of encouragement for myself or a swift kick up the butt to snap me off my high horse. It takes practice, some times a lot of practice. This is where we're not perfect, yet we know we get to choose and become better for ourselves and others. We all value different things in life, be it family, work, wealth, health, social, relationships And whatever you value is neither right or wrong...it just is. When two people value different things in life, judgement or comparison can easily sneak in and take over, Yet when we know and can understand that what one values is different to that of our own, we can then come to a place of acceptance and keep a better focus on doing what is right for ourselves and allow everyone to be who they are.
