Understand and Release
It has amazed me over the last few weeks how powerful the complete totality of myself, and my mind is. I have been working through many of my own issues for the past few years. Trying to understand why different things make me feel, think or act in certain ways. You could say I am reflecting on my habits, or in another sense the programs I have taught myself to repeat in certain circumstances. The world gives me an input, whether it be physical or emotional or whatever else, and parts of myself react and feel without me having to consciously decide. This is very efficient and we all do this to save time and effort; however I am now questioning why I act in certain ways automatically.
This has brought to light many things which i wish to change about myself so I will have a more fulfilling, happy, and rewarding life. The first thing I look at is who and what around me annoy or bother me. Since I understand that everything in my life is merely a reflection of myself then these things are reflections of the things I have failed to notice in myself so far. The aspects of yourself that you deem negative are always the hardest to accept and understand and can provide the greatest positive change to your life when you understand them.
It has taken me years sometimes to finally figure out why I was frustrated by certain people in my life. I kept telling myself it was them that caused me to be annoyed. Only after much reflection did I finally realize they were literally reflecting the parts of myself I had refused to ever accept. The best thing was, as soon as i figured this out these people magically stopped doing the things that annoyed me!
We attract the lessons we need directly to us; so use the world as a tool to look into yourself. You will be surprised at what you see, and even more surprised at how quickly it can change your life.
