i know this flies in the face of all previous posts on this blog but i feel it necessary to say at this juncture that you should not take life too seriously...
having reread some of my blogs , and whilst still in full agreement with all i wrote in them , i would be lying if i said it didnt induce a slight inclination to slit my wrists....i certainly hope a similiar effect has not been invoked in others..
Generally i dont take myself that seriously...those who know me well will know that i have always identified with Bridget Jones...and to be honest, im not alone in these observations..however the production of a slightly blue tinged pie crust on saturday served to confirm whatever suspicions i may have had..
truthfully i like to celebrate this side of myself...it serves to remind me - on a far too regular basis- that there is nothing about me i can take seriously - other than my responsibility to love others and myself.
An exagerated sense of self importance is a recipe for disaster...second only to a false sense of self reliance..because at some future date it is inevitable that you will discover neither to be true...
trust me on this...to quote T.S Elliot " Most of the trouble in this world is caused by people wanting to be important "
and how very humbling it is when you discover just how important you are not ! ..
I need to qualify importance. In this context i am referring to importance in the worldy sense ... position, power, title,deemed expertise...
If you define importance to mean that you are of value to others.. emotionally and relationally..then we all are and should be important in some sense...that the kind of importance that matters ..
