It's Not Personal




The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
~Oprah Winfrey

It's Not Personal
Nine times out of ten, something said to you or done to you is not personal.  Let's repeat that - it's not personal.  You might take it that way but the reality of a situation, when you remove your emotions, is that it truly wasn't aimed at you. Now it's tricky to navigate because at the surface it feels like it's a personal attack but the beauty of learning this lesson is being able to remove yourself from the emotion when it's happening.  When you can see a situation for what it really is, which is usually that other person displacing their feelings upon you, you will stop absorbing that persons emotions, you will stop letting their outburst ruin your day and you will stop feeling like the world is out to get you - because it's not! 

If you can stop taking everything so personally, you also stop the drama.  By doing this you open your heart to truth, to love and most of all ~ to peace.
