I am reminded this morning of the importance of recognizing and releasing the old reactions to life.
I have learned how a moral self-inventory will quickly bring out how and when I have returned to the old, unbalanced reactions to life.
The most important part of a self-inventory is to remove any thoughts about the other person, place, thing, institution, or principality involved in my reactions to them.
I need only concern myself with my part in any interaction, because that is the only part I have any control over.
When I am hurt and I am blaming some outside person, place, thing, situation, institution, or principality, I need to stop, breathe, reset, and ask; What is going on within me that brings up these negative feelings?
What belief am I maintaining about myself that makes me feel these uncomfortable feelings and emotions?
Because it is never what happens outside of me that creates my feelings, it always the inside of me.
The joyful part of this is I have the power over the inside of me. I create my beliefs, thoughts, actions, and reactions to life.
Today I choose to live in appreciation, acceptance, Light, and Love!
May each of you allow yourself the gift of releasing yourself from your old unhealthy reactions to life.
You are Love and Loved
