Small steps toward each other (#1191)

There is no rush for us to to all come together at once. We need to take our time and be ourselves in order to establish our own identities before we move toward each other and make each others' lives more complex. Because the fact is we must all give of ourselves more and more for us to get along together. This principle is not only valid in our larger society but even more so in our one to one relationships. I say this because I have tried large group relations and personal intimate ones and have found that I was not comfortable as myself and therefore that reflected back out to my relationships, negatively. The only true way for us to get the perspective we need to understand what it is that finds a feeling of home for us is time and experience. Experience can only arrive with doing actions and thinking ideas in different ways. As for time, it just takes what it takes, some need little time, most need more than a little time and a few need much time. The amount of time varies as well as the accumulation of our experiences. What we must remember is for us to just be who we are and do the things that bring us the greatest satisfactions. It isn't always possible to be in control of the things we think and do but when we can we should utilize that practice. Everything we do should be with a plan toward moving closer to how we interact and eventually find happiness in our relationships. Whether true love or bare toleration, we do find what suits us best and how we do that is through small steps, short and effective movements toward our hoped for goals. There is no rushing what the rest of our lives will depend upon, so take it easy and let the pressure of doing something now dissipate, and just enjoy the happy journey of self awareness.
