When people talk about you now you know they are talking about a secondary character in their story who represents you. They are talking about an image they create for you. You know that it has nothing to do with you. Nut if you agree, if you believe what they say, then their story becomes a part of your story. If you take it personally, it modifies your story. If you don’t take it personally, the opinions of others do not affect you the way they used to, and you have more patience with people.

You must realize that it is the ordinary way of God’s dealings with us
that our ideas do not work out speedily and efficiently as we would like
them to. The reason for this is not only the loving wisdom of God, but
also the fact that our acts have to fit into a great complex pattern
that we cannot possibly understand. I have learned over the years that
Providence is always a whole lot wiser than any of us, and that there
are always not only good reasons, but the very best reasons for the
delays and blocks that often seem to us so frustrating and absurd.Speaker: Thomas MertonPosted: 26 Nov 2007 at 8:44 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment!
