Perspective is Everything
When we are wronged we have an opportunity to act that is primarily based on how we see things. It is possible to see a radical change, a progression if you will in the reaction that comes forth as we mature and grow. Here is that progression in 6 simple lessons.
Our various possible responses when we believe we have been wronged…
1. That was mean. You are evil I hate you…
2. That was unkind. I deserve an apology. You need to change. I can’t be around you until you do.
3. That was interesting behavior?!? I wonder why they act that way. I think I will ask. You know, I do that sometimes. They are probably doing it for the same reasons I do.
4. Wow interesting behavior. They must have a need. After all, all behavior is purposeful. I’m sure they are doing the best they can. If they could be different they would be different. All behavior is either love or a call for love. I can forgive and pray for them. I can tolerate them for now.
5. That behavior just IS…. It means whatever I decide it means. How do I feel inspired to act in relationship and in response to it since I probably helped create it. What do I need to do different including change my perception? How do I let go of my expectations and outcomes. People can be exactly as they are if I will but let them.
6. What behavior? It has no effect on me. My gift is to love. There is nothing to forgive. I and my brother/sister are one.
Everything I experience is part of me. I am not a self some how living in isolation from all that is around me. My self and my world are uniquely connected by my projections, agreements, perceptions, beliefs choices and actions. I will see if I can see the world as a complex playground to be appreciated and engaged with for what it is rather than something to be victimized by or to fight to change it so it fits some narrow belief system of mine.. The world IS me.. Give love and faith and let go of outcomes. Outcomes are the business of the Universe. Namaste
