Today I was honest; the response I garnered stung. But, I am grateful because I am free. The only moment is now; I’d rather have a life without regret.

I love the advice that says “Seek first to understand, and then to be understood.” It’s one of Stephen Covey’s highly effective habits. If you first sought to understand, and then you asked to be heard, then you had good communication between two souls and neither of you should feel bad for expressing your respective beliefs. I am sorry you felt stung. I bet it hurt.

It is more of an issue of control, which is an illusion… And expectation… I expected a particular response and didn’t get it. But, that’s me being attached–which is not yogic. I agree with the Covey advice. I did seek to understand. But, also don’t be attached to outcomes.
