Taking Up Responsibility For How You Feel
The most common belief is - It’s not me, it’s them. This is the illusion that someone else is responsible for what we think, feel and do. Whenever we point the finger at someone else for what we feel, we make our self a slave to that person or that situation. The truth is, It’s not them, it’s me. Always. Regardless of the nature of the event or the sharpness of the words intended to insult, our response is always our own creation. Their behavior is the stimulus; how we think, feel and then behave is our response.
We have the freedom to choose our response. We are not machines who respond automatically and say – obviously I will get angry, naturally I will get hurt…there is nothing obvious. We need to shift from an automated way of responding to being aware that even if we our hurt, it is our creation and we have a choice how long we wish to remain like that. We can choose a response of stability, calm and love.
So let’s check how often we blame someone for how we feel, and then slowly shift your thinking to the awareness…stimulus is outside, how I am feeling inside is my creation. I have a choice.

Message for the day 20-08-2019
-----------------------------------------
To be free from waste words is to ensure easy success.
Expression: The one who wastes time and energy in gossip or slander has no time for success. All attention is focussed on picking out the mistakes and the negativity of others and so there is no attention on learning new things or picking out the positive. So there is negativity visible in one’s own attitude, words and actions.
Experience: When I am able to free myself from waste and negative words, I am able to use the resource of my words in a positive and useful way. My words will be for the benefit of all. I would also notice that my words would be filled with the power of positivity and faith, faith in the self and faith in others.
