My fabulous Grandmother always said: "Consider the source" whenever someone did something that disrupted My flow. That was some of the best advice that She ever gave Me ~ and She gave Me so much great advice!
How To Use This Great Advice:
- Check In first to see what's going on with you that is causing you to be disturbed by someone's actions;
- Choose what you want to do. In other words, choose to respond rather than react. Give yourself the power in the situation and choose your greatest well-being;
- Clearly recognize the "quality of being" that the person who has annoyed you is putting forth. Translation: how is this person showing up? as a cool individual who may have made a mistake? as a complete jerk?; and
- Most importantly, forgive them. Whether or not a person intends to disrupt your peaceful flow, it is YOUR responsibility that your flow is disrupted. Forgiving them frees YOU from any further care for or about them.
As We all know, there are too many lazy individuals who take the slimey way out and operate from the lowest levels of consciousness and personal responsibility. It is easier for you, in your best interests, to pity them for making self-defeating choices; there can never be true happiness when you choose to be less than your best.
If the saying: There is only fear or love is true, then these offenders are seriously lacking love in their lives - not only love from others, but self-love. That makes them pathetic and having compassion for them also frees you from further concern and bother because you can choose what you want to do from a place of clarity.
So, if you consider the source of the aggravation, you do yourself a great service by releasing all attachment to that aggravation. I find that allowing Myself to have pity on, but not to tolerate or excuse offeders, keeps Me able to maintain My Fabulous Flow. Yes, this requires a bit of discipline, but that is the entire point of Mastery ~ which always begins and ends with Mastery of The Self.
