meisner - day 6

i am an accommodater. i will bend over backwards, sacrifice anything, do whatever it takes to be liked. to succeed. to be perceived as nice. and it doesn't serve me. and later i wished i had owned up to my frustration when he wouldn't connect. deeply. i can be in conflict. i can be in conflict. i can be conflicted. just own it.

be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
try to love the questions themselves.

do not now seek the answers
which cannot be given
because you would not be able
to live them
and the point is,
to live everything

live the questions now
perhaps you will then
gradually
without noticing it
live along some distant day
into the answers.

~rilke

oh how this applies to so many things. substitute questions for: {conflicts} {.......!.......} {dreams} {hopes}
