We See Things and People Not as They Are, But as We Are
Dear Friend,
One of the greatest challenges that I see my clients experience and to be honest what I have noticed even in my own life is the fact that other people are not honouring them. Either their co-workers or manager treat them poorly, their spouses aren't loving them as they should be loved, their kids are not respecting them as they could and we could find many other situations and examples that show the lack of care others have for others.
That may sound bleak, but there is a solution for all of these scenarios and ones that are similar and here it is:
We must, and I repeat we must take full responsibility for what we attract if we are ever going to shift it, change it, improve on it, or release it.
If you are experiencing challenges with your job, know that the issue does not rest in your job or in your employer.
If your spouse is not giving you the attention you desire, and your relationship therefore seems to be not what you are wanting, know that the issue does not lie in your relationship.
If your finances are not where you would like them to be, the money itself is not the culprit or the 'thing' causing the challenge.
If your weight is not where you want it to be, it is not your body that is causing the issue.
If you are experiencing a challenge with any of these then it is in you where the challenges lay.
I have been in a few romantic relationships in my life and each time a challenge would come up, my first thoughts would be, 'This is not the relationship for me'. And I must have repeated this mantra many times through many relationships both romantic, social, and with family... except with family I said, 'I must have been adopted!':)
It wasn't until the resistance surfaced and I began to hear the mantra again that I realized it was never about the relationship or the person I was with, it was about the resistance in me that I had not only within myself, but that I had about myself.
If you have great dissatisfaction with your current job, which I have noticed is increasing among the North American population in massive waves, know that it is not actually about your dissatisfaction with your job, it is about the dissatisfaction within you related to how you are feeling and what you are putting your attention to. Your job is simply showing you that a part of you is feeling discontented in life, unresolved, not loved, and more than likely not honoured and respected as you would like.
This is always a reflection that you are not resolved about your own life, that you may not be loving yourself as you are wanting, that you are more than likely not honouring and respecting yourself as you really could. And if we are not doing these things for ourselves and with ourselves, how can we expect others to?
When we begin to honour ourselves and discover what it is that we are resisting about ourselves, then release that resistance or embrace it, then we begin to notice that the resistance we had within us about ourselves dissolves, and that becomes reflected back to us through our workplace that all-of-a-sudden seems fine, through our children who seem to be more respectful, through our relationships which seem to improve and become more supportive.
Not only will those negative feelings dissolve, you will also feel more empowered and experience greater peace.
With this said, it is time to engage your power, go within yourself and ask questions like:
What vibes am I giving off to attract this kind of energy?
What am I trying to teach myself through this person/experience about myself?
What would my heart of hearts say right now if it could speak about how and why I have attracted this to myself?
When you find the part of you that is responsible for your outcome and your reality, then you become the Master of your life, the one in charge of your own destiny!
I hope this has opened up your mind and heart to how powerful you are.
And until next time, may you be inspired from within!
Warmly,
Joshua
