A day outside.

I realized today something. One thing that Francis pointed out. He was right, we should give without expecting something back. We should just give. Every time I would give someone something, I would be scared of doing a mistake or not giving it to the right person. Trust is one of those things. But today I learned that I should just trust. What the other person does with it, is his or her choice. But I know that I trusted them 100 % and even if I get hurt afterwards, I know that I was not lacking anything; it was the other person that did not know how to take care of my trust. So now I am willing to give my 101% without asking for anything back.

I have been stressed this whole week about stupid little things. I think it was me myself who was making life much harder then it is. I also noticed how weak I was getting mentally as well as physically. Today, I was close to skipping class cos I barely could move but I am glad that I forced myself to go to class because every class period I learn something new about myself. I look at life from another angle now. I always say, I don't regret my mistakes but I learn from them. Today, I think nothing in life is a mistake but an experience, something that is necessary for us in any field of life, even if it is pain.

It was a good class and I enjoyed the air outside. I feel like a burden was taken off my shoulders. Thank you Francis for making every day a new experience and teaching us more about ourselves and our capabilities.

Until I read your post,I did not realize that trust could be something Guru Francis was talking about. I guess I perceived it to be more about physical objects or friendship ideals, but not necessarily trust; I think you applied his lesson well.
I also agree with you about not considering an experience a "mistake". I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and we all have something to learn from whatever occurs in our lives.

I think that you make a good point about an experience as always being a learning experience for us even if we don't like it.
