Ever Take Things Personally

“It’s not about you. It never was. It never will be.”

Dear You:

The other day someone that I love was so angry and it seemed to be directed right at me. But I knew it wasn’t about me and at the same time it sure looked that way.

I know that when I take something personally, it’s only because I’m judging myself for exactly what the other person is judging me about. Sometimes it’s not even their judgment, it’s actually my interpretation.

All I know is that whatever is going on with the other person is about them. Just the same as whatever is going on with me is about my past. In the end, if one of us can get to neutrality and compassion about ourselves or the other, we not only free ourselves, but that same compassion and love frees the other.

You can trust one thing; that there’s no such thing as a perfect person. Expecting anything else will result in a lot of upset in your life.

You just have to decide whether you’re committed to protecting yourself by holding others in judgement or being the cause for more love in the world by healing your own heart, and then sharing your heart with others.

Love you!

P.S. I just stayed neutral as the other person decided to walk away and get back in their heart. Of course it all ended in a big hug. Sometimes it takes an hour and sometimes it can take a year. Are you willing to leave the time and space for love to win?

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

The paradigm for prosperity is shifting and the laws of physics give me great hope, here’s why!

Most of us aren’t present to the shifts happening around us because we’re so distracted by the noise.

Globally, wars, political differences, media streaming, fear-based rhetoric, and divisive communications create polarity. Simultaneously, that polarity and struggle is birthing ideas being acted upon by the younger generation as it sits in the ‘dark matter’ of consciousness, waiting in the sub-atomic spaces to be birthed!

Metaphysically speaking, for every problem there is already an existing solution as it’s part of how the Universe stays in balance.

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Well, you might be surprised to hear me say absolutely not.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about deliberately forcing ourselves to do things that feel awful.

It’s just that I hear so many people saying… “only do it if it feels good”.

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.
