Disappointment
August 21st, 2007 by jim1537
Anytime I am looking to somebody else as my source, I’m coming from scarcity. I am no longer trusting God, or the Universe, for my harvest. It’s reasonable for me to have expectations based on what somebody I trust has committed to. And it’s natural for me to feel disappointed when that somebody doesn’t come through. But when I feel more than disappointment, when I also feel anger, it’s because I deviated from my truth. It’s because I compromised my truth to get what somebody else promised. Because when I’m really following my truth, I will be at peace with the consequences — whatever they are. I can accept somebody else’s truth, but I must live my own truth. And sometimes that means walking away from a relationship.

I really want to be able to trust people to be a source for me (for anything) – Yes- I do have a need to live my truth but I am completely weary of going it alone (my experience of consequences of following my truth, is a combination of peace & pain). I have walked away from my parents, relationships & people who I thought were my friends…there is deep disapointment & anger cos I had trusted each one of them to be a certain way & feel betrayed.
– Besides, I think God & the Universe do deliver the “harvest” through other people. Openness & acceptance seem like the key to me.
