Re-create that 'feeling'....with love.

“I didn't like thinking about him 'cause he made me feel little, insignificant....

Sigh...I am doing it again....Thinking about him and letting my blood boil...my joints cringe and releasing a multitude of chemicals into my bloodstream that do not benefit any part of me!!'

Does this sound familiar??!

I used to think ...and believe that it was the people around me that made me feel happy/ sad/loved/worthy/not-good-enough...

But it really isn't true. And yes, this has to come to you, cause no matter how many times you hear this truth, unless you realize it for yourself....you can't see its beauty! And it IS beautiful.

No one is responsible for the way we feel...NO ONE...not any person, not any place, not any situation...nothing is responsible for how we feel.

My feelings are my own creation, and each one of them is my sole responsibility. I am here, living this life, everyday trying to understand the purpose of this gift. And, like me, everyone around me is living their gift!!

If anyone irritates me, or drives me mad….it's not their fault...they are only living their purpose...they are only doing what is designed by Him. If it makes me feel sad/bad/mad...well, it's the result of my thoughts and totally my creation. Tough….but true.

It took a while to get to this...but I'm grateful...for the journey , too,...cause it helps me to understand those who are getting there. It is very humbling to know that I am not the center of everyone's thoughts and they aren't all out to get me!!

Every time I feel less than happy, I have only to re-think the feeling.'cause it's all in my hands alone...continuing to feel sad/inferior/unworthy does nothing beneficial for me...instead, I only have to remind myself that who/what I perceive to be the source of my displeasure is only doing their assigned role ...all perfect in His big picture.

It was a looooong and trying journey...but I'm glad...cause being broken, it's easier for the truth to seep in!!

A feeling...is a feeling. Just that.

It's up to me to create beauty, add love and re-create the feeling!!!

Love,

swee
