Becoming a Blessing

“[W]e are all here to grow in wisdom and learn how to love better.  As we each do this in our own ways, we slowly become a blessing to those around us and a light in the world.”

Rachel Remen

 So much is packed in here.  I am not here to be wise in an absolute sense, none of us are.  We are just to “grow in wisdom,” to be a little wiser today than last week, last month, last year.  The same thing with love, I just need to love better.  Baby steps, so far so good.  But then there is the recognition of the source of much frustration, we “each do this in our own ways,” and to make it worse, we do so “slowly,” in our own time.  So, I have to not only be patient with myself as I (hopefully) grow in wisdom and love, but with others also.  Only then can I/we “become a blessing to those around [me]us and a light to the world.”

Lord-o-mighty, no one told me it was going to be this difficult!
