Something I Needed

So apart from that talk with my friend earlier,
I needed to release the outcome, to surrender it.
Grieve the things I wanted because I can't have them
and they aren't completely necessary for my well-being anyway.

People can only see what they can see, until they start seeing more.
Which happens when they are ready, if they are ready.

I pulled a card and I got this one:
"Your worth is not established by teaching or learning.
Nothing you do or think or wish or make
is necessary to establish your worth."

It's not up to me to teach anything to anyone.
And my worth doesn't depend on what I learn or the rate that I learn.

I just find it ironic that my brother yelled at me
right as he was saying that he controls his urges
because he's aware of how his actions affect others.
Just classic irony right there.

Anyway... There was something else that came up tonight...

"Rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your mind
of what's already in it."

So this new year coming up is going to be about that, for me.
What's it going to be about for you?
