how can we get along with others
when we can’t even get along with ourselves.
so much conflict.
so many people need a ‘third party’
to even have a conversation.
so much blame
so much finger pointing.
anger.
what if we approached ‘getting along’
and
conflict
with a
hey-this-is-an-opportunity-for-me-to-work-on-myself
attitude.
that same self that we always talk shit about
criticize
and
put down.
our life mirrors don’t lie.
so many mirrors in our lives.
all around us.
reflecting back our inners.
what’s IN our INers?
life is a mirror.
sounds so cliche.
and
it’s totally freaking true.
you think
‘oh my gosh. i am such a good person with a big heart
and
i’m totally getting fucked.’
it’s always THEM against US.
or is it?
The Mirror Concept has been one of the hardest things for me to learnĀ AND accept.
- All Of My Relationships Are Mirrors.
- ALL of the ‘things’ that happen to me are reflecting backĀ the work i still have to do.
instead of feeling defeated>
each ‘episode’
challenges me to step IN to a better version of myself.
no victimhood.
no blaming.
only opportunity.
i am always
seeking to improve
grow
expand
learn
to be the best version of myself possible.
the more i can be my truest self
the more others can be THEIR truest selves.
the work that we do on the individual level
affects the collective.
working on our ‘shit’
affects all that is.
getting along with YOU
is the most important step
in getting along with everyone else.
how can we get along with others
if we can’t even get along with ourselves?
are you gentle?
are you kind?
do you say loving things
and
point the words inward
to yourself?
honestly
it’s never really easy
to claim responsibility for your life.
for your experience.
however
if you can adopt the attitude
of seeing your experiences
as opportunity
it’s a hell of a lot more DOable.
think kind thoughts.
take care of you.
start loving who YOU are
and
notice the shift in how others respond to you.
ps. i believe in you.

Say it Girl! You can choose to experience any situation in a negative or positive way. In the past….I have been wired to spray unhappiness when I feel it from others. Slowly but surely I am choosing to experience each situation more and more in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on my own inner poo poo.
