It’s not about me, really?

I, me, my, mine; it’s not about me?

Really?

Who’s it about then? You, them, us, everyone else; all the time?

“There’s nothing new under the sun” said some wise guy a long time ago. Nothing happens to you that has not or might not happen to me or others. That’s just the way it is.

Truth is we share more in common than we differ.

It’s the proportions of the impacts of experience on our character that changes things. That change us!

Most of life is cooked up with the same spices, similar pans, in similar kitchens, yet with different proportions; mostly from the same ingredients. Think about your life as a recipe. Cooked up in your environment and those influential in it.  Who’s the author of the cook book?

Tasty or not what comes out , is just the way life shows up, its not about you, or is it? Too many cooks spoil the recipe!

Actually it’s all about us, and up to us, so lets be careful how we are with one another. Together we help create the stew we  live in!

People grow bitter or they grow better and what they spew flavors the stew!.

Be mindful of what you add to the stew, it’s flavor might just be up to you!.
