Everything we experience, every
action we take, always comes back to what we think and who we have chosen to
have in our immediate sphere of influence. We choose our life every day.
We evaluate situations and attach our perspective to the outcome based on our
thinking. Are we operating from a negative or positive analysis?
Where did we learn our viewpoint? Where is our attention? What concerns us
most?
It is my experience that once
you know yourself and are confident of your purpose in life, you can set
healthy boundaries and give others the benefit of the doubt. The need to
control others evaporates, and the need to be the center of attention
dissolves. Answers arise from our collaborations, and change happens.
How much influence do you have
to change anything you do not like starts with changing you and then taking
action to speak out.
Everything outside of you is
NOT your business; if you try to CONTROL others, you will lose every time. No
one likes to be controlled by another; indeed, when you are operating from a
solid positive foundation of caring, there is no need to control anyone but
yourself. So when YOU know you can land on your feet come what may, you are empowered
to speak and consider other opinions. We can individually take responsibility for
our focus; therefore, collectively, it will work.
The greatest gift you will ever
give yourself is to be in control of your feelings, actions, and thoughts. Anger
and sympathy (aka victimhood & toxic caring) do not benefit anyone. When
you gain control of your emotions, you will give others the same leeway to
control themselves.
When actions are free from guilt
or shame, helping others becomes beneficial for everyone. There is a difference
in caring actions, and the outcome is evident. The greatest gift you can give
the world is your idea with positive boundaries and an open mind.
Today there is an overload of excuses
for destructive behaviors without subduing the actions of the persons causing
harm to others. If ever there was a time to speak out for health regulations
and unity with peace for all, it is now.
Learning to think for yourself
is the key. Every change begins with a thought, your thought.
We are the positive change the
world needs now, thankful for you and me unafraid.
