(2093)
In the midst of my great jubilation over the findings in my pursuit of who I am and what I can do, I still feel compelled to stop and ask myself, when does conceit begin and gratitude end?
What opinion rules? Is it mine, or the misgivings of others?
Am I trapped in a game of guessing God‘s will, or placing upon the Divine Father attitudes that are comfortable to me, but not necessarily in the spectrum of His vision?
Is is possible that my “big” is really “small?”
Or maybe that I’ve underestimated my “small” and it’s truly “big?”
Am I stuck in a quicksand that has me sinking with indecision instead of escaping to walk on firm ground?
Can I salve my ego with platitudes or rationalization?
Oh, please God, let me avoid the obvious pitfall of comparing my efforts to those around me, for that is truly planting the rose-colored glasses upon my blinded eyes.
Yet somehow there has to be a standard. Isn’t there girth in accomplishment which should be obvious?
Is the fact that someone else would be overjoyed with my accumulation evidence of my prowess?
What power is there in just being alive? Is a tree that bears no fruit really a tree? Or just a huge stick in the mud?
Who do I compare myself to without becoming lazy or crazy?
May I present three thoughts:
- Big is always small without the inclusion of faith.
- Small is big if the feelings, dreams and needs of others are honored.
- Yet it doesn’t really matter if I am using up what is available instead of saving it for a rainy day.
I will create … even if it’s not perfect.
