Take control, don't be lead by blind emotion, stop look at the situation and decide DOES THIS REALLY CONCERN ME? Have you ever had one of those days where someone tells you something, that makes you reaction with emotion, it sends your head spinning and a million scenarios play out all ending in disaster I had such a day recently. I have long been someone who steps back from other peoples lives, my rule is "It's your life, it's your right to do what you want with it and if life throws you a bum curve based on your decisions then it's you're right to make those mistakes"...all those mistakes help make you who you are. However when someone told me their woes recently I suddenly did the emotion/scenario thing and spent two days feeling sick with worry. Then I read the section about Mooji in Isabel Losadas new book "The Battersea Road to Paradise", in it Mooji answers a question about suffering by saying "Suffering is an attitude of how you meet your experience, pain need not be suffering" and I realised this had nothing to do with me. The woes were to do with someone elses perception of an incident in my ancient history. I neither knew them then or hurt them in my ancient history, this was their issue and not mine. Once I realised this I moved on and felt 100% better. There are so many times in life when people take issue with you. If you approach life like me with the view of respecting everyone, and not intentionally hurting anyone then is it really my fault? If they take affront and have problems with me that is nothing to do with me. I can apologise if I made a mistake and hurt them but if they dramatise the issue it really is nothing to do with me. So from now on I will stop and ask "Is this anything to do with me, or is this someone elses issue?" From now on I shall be me and happy. |
