i'm thinking of a blog that i read this morning and how much i could elaborate on it. Sizzle talks about a part of "letting go" in a way. she is describing how mad people get at other people driving and how automatically, their minds go to the "i can't believe that person had the nerve to do that to ME". she then goes on to talk about how there is the SLIGHT chance (wink, wink) that that person did not intend to do anything to you, but maybe, just maybe, their life circumstances are such that they just weren't paying attention.
i fully believe in this concept.
a person cannot "make" you feel any way. it is how you react to their comments, insinuations, etc. that make you feel the way that you do.
t makes comments all the time while driving, "look at this guy, he's trying to race me or something". no, i always say, maybe he's just not even looking at you and he just is going the same speed as you. to this he revs his engine and flies off as fast as he can and comments, "well, i guess he didn't want to go 90 miles an hour". no, t, he probably didn't, probably never will and probably didn't even see you next to him. what bugs me about this isn't the absurdity of this, which, most definitely, it is...but can you imagine what it does to your insides if everyone is "out to get you"
the stress that we cause ourselves on a daily basis is amazing by thinking that people are doing things to us. if you make a conscious effort to let go of that, i just know that it has so much effect on your outlook and your life. if you are constantly expecting that people are out to get you, that your boss is out to get you, that creditors are out to get you....well, sooner or later, they will be. start thinking that the world is out there to bring you good things....you'll be surprised!
