When I alignment completely and
gratefully with all that already is - things that I have no power or
control over - that have occurred or are occurring - I am the most
happy!
There will always be something that I could
complain about - but I choose not to. I realize that complaining not
only aggravates me and the people that hear it - but also extends my
pain!
Instead - I divert my attention either to
something else - or even dig deep into the offense and see it through
the eyes of an observer watching my reaction to it with self love and
compassion and allow it to pass through without resistance.
Do you know that every moment that you spent today complaining you could have been CREATING?
Every moment you spend angry you could have spent BLISSFUL?
Every time you tried to change someone's mind you could have spent
LEARNING SOMETHING NEW? Every second spent disparaging a person,
religion, belief or law could have been spend UNCONDITIONALLY LOVING?
Every thought used to worry about how our environment or civil rights
are doomed could have been APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY OF OUR WORLD. That
every second spent feeling stress, worry and fear could have been spent
GENEROUSLY SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY? That every concern about the future
could have been spent ENJOYING YOUR PRESENT? That every time you tried
to prove how right your opinion is could have been spent FEELING THE
UNLIMITED FOUNTAIN OF INNER HAPPINESS?
Do you realize that ALIGNMENT AND JOY are available to you at all times?
I
do. I am loved. And it's all going to be fine. Even if it's not how I
imagined or wished it to be. Even if it's not the most comfortable
result. It's still perfect. I will flow with it. And enjoy it.
Over my adult life if I have spoken in the moments of being angry or triggered - I normally didn't say something constructive or sweet.
And I have also noticed that other people do the same thing. If they are:
- jealous
- scared
- defensive
- sad
- annoyed
- righteous
- other other...
They are not going to be considerate or thoughtful.
So instead of reacting - I am learning to realize that their mean words are not personal - it's what is going on for them!
As
I practice being BLiSS in the face of turmoil - it helps me to know
that I can be happy and sweet no matter how rude, wrong or unkind they
are. At the end of the evening - I know who I was today - and my
conscience is clear.
