It is!\u00a0 It truely is. All that you feel is inside of you. It doesn’t come from someone outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We think:\u00a0\u00a0 I was happy.\u00a0\u00a0 Then my friend told me we’re breaking up.\u00a0 Then I was sad.<\/p>\n
We think:\u00a0 Now I am sad.<\/p>\n
Conclusion we think:\u00a0 My friend made me sad.<\/p>\n
But it isn’t true.\u00a0\u00a0 If that friend had sent me a letter informing me of the deed, and it was lost in the mail.\u00a0 I would continue being happy, not knowing, not being aware. Happy believing all is well.<\/p>\n
Yet if the friend was where our happy came from, then we would have felt it from them.\u00a0 You say how silly. But that is what we are doing when we\u00a0attribute our\u00a0feelings\u00a0as coming\u00a0from another.\u00a0 In all cases, when we attribute our feeling as coming from or being caused by some external object, person, place or thing, we are giving up our role in feeling it different.<\/p>\n
How many times have you heard yourself say:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My employer makes me so mad.<\/p>\n
or, My teacher made me feel sad,<\/p>\n
or, My my mom frustrates me so …,<\/p>\n
or, my husband, wife, boy-friend, girl-friend, \u00a0teacher, students, bullies and mean girls, ruined my day.<\/p>\n
If the feelings do NOT come from outside of us.\u00a0\u00a0 Where do they come from?\u00a0 What do they mean? What are they for?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why is this important?\u00a0 Because we seem to guide our entire lifes in pursuit or avoidance of them.<\/p>\n
Isn’t it about time you knew the answers? Isn’t it about time to put things into proper perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
