My whole entire life has been lived doing the right thing b/c that's what we're supposed to do. All my life I have watched others lie, steal and cheat to get their way.. and they do....but I have learned that's its not about them... it's about you and how you handle yourself.. At the end of your life it won't matter one bit how others treated you but how you treated others.
Live in peace knowing that you are living right and teaching your children right... After 36 years, I can finally see the results of living just and right holding love and compassion for all, even those who hurt me.
As an example, last year, I had some issues with a friend. She suddenly flipped out on me and threatened to take me to court over something "I" had poured my heart and soul into, she was jealous and wanted my hard work for hers... I was devastated to say the least.. BUT... I kept my peace... I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I wished her peace... I had other friends who happened to be her family went back to back for me... they pretty much took the fight for me.. Meanwhile, I kept love and peace for her and meditated on the situation... finally I released it all and just let it go.... A couple weeks ago we got news through the family tree that she was now in court herself... Her ex took her to court to take her children from her....
Now, I never would have or could have wished this for her.... But, sometimes things just work out...
Outside of that... I have watched pure love turn someone who was full of anger and rage and a heavy drug user (and I'm not talking about just pot) into the most loving, kind hearted wonderful person I have ever met and all the drug use stopped as well. This guys family had all but given up on him ever straightening his life out, but I never gave up... Even though we were just friends, I knew there had to be something good in there somewhere... you just have to be patient enough to find it... just like a diamond!!
Keep teaching your children about honesty and truly loving from their hearts. Teach them to always follow the path of their heart and they will be just fine no matter what the world throws at them.
Peace and love to you!
