This morning’s meditation.
Hurt.
I am reminded that others can hurt me only as much as I allow.
There have been some very difficult and painful experiences in my life, and I have blamed many people for my pain.
Until I decided I wanted some power in my life.
I became willing to learn the lessons about myself and the beliefs I held about me. I did that through looking at these difficulties through a different mindset.
“What am I going to learn from this”.
My existence has patterns and I get to learn what I need to know about myself in each pattern before it will change.
In my employment, my marriages, friendships, my beliefs and the like.
Today I practice taking responsibility for my reactions to life and how I view myself and others.
It is through my self-view that I view the world.
Today I intend to enter each experience with compassion, acceptance, appreciation, empathy, kindness, humor, humility, peace, and Love.
When I find I am not practicing those characteristics, I will stoop, breathe, rest, and begin again.
Today I take responsibility for my life and my reactions to it.
You are Loved.
