I am always indulged into the waves of thoughts whenever I am sitting near the beach with waves lapping by. This time the thought was mainly of the people who had been part of my life since long. I have seen their changed versions. Some of them have grown saner but some of them have just stepped down their wisdom steeply.
Initially, I feel being a good friend, or a colleague I should indicate them in a very clear way. But I have seen their reactions making things worse. In fact I have seen that they just found a way to find my faults. They will never appreciate the goodness but they would immediately message me first in the morning to say - "hey, you don't look good or you have changed" or any indirect behavior to indicate that I have been rude for some reason to them disappointing them.
To some extent, I always get bothered by such comments, especially, when it comes from someone who used to in my life for long. Then I stopped giving damn even to their judgement. Like, I would think twice before telling someone they don't look good. Actually, there is just one person in my life - someone I love really deeply - I will always give him honest opinion about what I think about him. Why him? Because he is the person who did not take me wrong even when we have not known each other for long.
I am following the four agreements now that Don Miguel Ruiz has articulated beautifully.
Being impeccable, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions and finally, do your best!
This works like a charm!
Love it.
