| What is the magic of giving?
I am not relying on the limitations of myself. I am not relying on the limitations of another. Putting all my happiness, on something so faulty, frail, mistake prone as myself or my expectations of another.
Giving is seeing what I can pack into the stream of life. It is becoming a part of. No longer being bound by my own limitations. I stop being in conflict with life and become in harmony with life. I become a part of something bigger then myself. I am free from all self imposed limitations and perceptions of self. I surrender the smallness of control and become at peace within the limitless truths found in acceptance.
I put my trust in the harmony of life. I let it guide me only seeking to contribute my part when offered the opportunity. No longer in conflict I find the freedom of peace. My mind is more at ease, quieted.
I have been freed from the need to seek out temporary elusive fleeting self gratifying "happiness". The bonds that were my need to control my environment in order to feed my never ending insatiable appetite for more have been removed by accepting truth. Peace is found in harmony not conflict.
Step 3 is making a decision to hand over the chains of selfish control (conflict) to my HP and becoming a part of the peaceful harmony of life that is my HP's will for me.
Truth, acceptance, trust.
