It's the simple things!


The other person acts as he must act, according to his nature. And you react the way you react, according to your nature. Your reaction is not caused by the action of the other as it apparently seems. Your reaction (of bad feeling/disgust etc.) was caused because the seed of the feeling was within you, waiting to be triggered by any external entity. Sudhir Krishnan



It’s the simple things, the small things that turn to big things! The law is clear, whatsoever you sow you reap, it doesn’t matter if you sow them unconsciously. This is why it is so important to pay attention and be conscious of what you give your attention to.

Many times on the journey I would use as an excuse that is was someone else’s fault that justified my behaviour and my response to people and events, but I have learnt that the old saying of how one behaves is their karma and how your respond is yours. I started paying attention and taking responsibility for the seeds that I plant! This is not to say that you let people disrespect you or take the piss! Sometimes the loving response is indeed NO!

So what did I learn today?

It’s no one else’s fault how you respond or react to their behaviour but mine, I always have a choice on how I do respond. When the response comes from a place of love it works, because love always wins!

Peace!!

    Interesting! Many times you might say that someone acts indifferently to you or you think someone may not like you, when in some instances it may actually be your own defensive or stand-off behaviour that is causing persons to stay away or reflect that same behaviour

    So project love, don't take crap,take responsibility for your actions when needs be and experience the change in you and persons around you.

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
