I found it really fascinating that you pulled that word twice. It must mean something. However, I had nothing valuable, insightful or even clever to add, so I tried to be funny, but it failed. :)Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-77387384459048560212013-04-10T08:49:30.812+02:002013-04-10T08:49:30.812+02:00Sorry Rhonda I am not sure what you mean by just a...Sorry Rhonda I am not sure what you mean by just a response?

Accepting that people think or live differently doesn't mean you have to enjoy their company. It's essential to find like minded people.

I needed to find new interpretations, someone else might have just thrown one of them away. If I pull cards for other people, my first question is what does it mean for you, do you relate? Of course I offer my understanding or experience if they want it, then it is up to them to decipher what it means for them... purely because the truth behind 'insight comes from within us' :) Thanks for coming to visit Guilie.Ida Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479961947050289284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-11391804446560918602013-04-09T18:04:22.505+02:002013-04-09T18:04:22.505+02:00Hi Ida, it's strange but I feel humility is su...Hi Ida, it's strange but I feel humility is such a loaded word. I *think* I am humble and act humbly but in doing so, is there pride in this? Especially since I realise that the older I get, the harder it is to accept people who think/live differently from me. Your wise thoughts have given me plenty to ponder about.

Really, everything that happens to us, everything we feel and think, has no real definition beyond what *we* give it, right? The most powerful insight comes from within us.

Words of change</a> I have pulled many cards for other people and will gladly choose a word for you. A two card past/present spread or a 3 card, What have I learned, what am I learning, and what is my next lesson, are great places to start. I've enjoyed reading your thoughts too.

I think it's the realisation that at times we get it wrong and then admitting that our approach/idea/attitude wasn't the best for that aspect ... and remember that all times to others we may be 'wrong' ... whatever we feel to ourselves. So often the way we feel isn't really relevant - it matters to the other person - and we can therefore remove ourselves from that 'worry' .. I know if I think about things that matter to others .. it doesn't really matter whether what we feel - as it's their decision ... <br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-331797378122844582013-04-09T11:18:05.763+02:002013-04-09T11:18:05.763+02:00Great post, very thought provoking.
