You can be upset without attacking another…
You can be upset without attacking another–– or yourself.
Something or someone can hurt you— whether intentional or not— isn’t what matters. There is no justification in any attack on another for an attack on another is an attack on yourself.
Maybe there’s some resistance in reading that— we all experience resistance to Love and forgiveness because we’re used to attack. We’re used to shaming another. We’re used to unconsciously attacking another and then wondering why things aren’t working in our lives.
So let’s clean this up.
It’s because, the energy that you place out in the world, even in your mind, holds energy.
And it’s placed into what I call ‘the Universal pool’ and that pool is what splashes back unless cleaned. Some call it Karma whereas I call that Love.
So how is that Love? Or maybe you don’t feel like they deserve the Love— yet you do….
You’re intentionally choosing Love rather than reverting to the pattern and behavior of attack and that’s the energy you get to hold and experience your life through.
One of my favorite quotes is from The Color Purple: “Everything you done to me already done to you.” And that’s why it’s so important to know that you need do nothing.
There’s nothing that you need to do.
There’s nothing that you need to say.
Other than making peace within your own heart and mind.
You can be upset or hurt without attacking another.
Attacking another, whether physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually/energetically, doesn’t make anything better. Maybe in that moment you feel justification or satisfaction yet for how long and for what purpose?
What you believe happened— what you believe that they did— doesn’t justify the attack that you’re giving.
This isn’t about shame— this is about the Truth of you. This is about the Truth of you.
Whatever it is that happened doesn’t justify how you respond. It doesn’t make it okay. This isn’t about shaming yourself. This is about responding differently.
And for a while, I believed this to be true until I went through something so painful that I didn’t realize that I was waking up and thinking about this and replaying it over and over and over and over again. And I realized that I was unintentionally attacking another person and it didn’t feel good in my body— it didn’t feel good in my heart and it was taking up so much space; and wondering What I’ll say, what I wish I said, what happened, why it happened… so yes, something may have hurt you and how you feel is valid. Your emotions—that pain that followed— it’s all real and they are not to be minimized yet your response to it is everything. It affects how your life will go from this moment forward, how you move in the world, who you continue to stand as, how you sleep and how your days go, the work you put out— it’s all energy.
So you can be upset without attacking another because, again, attacking another regardless of the form that it takes is an attack on yourself. So where your work is is making peace within your own heart, within your own mind, so you can be free. A’ho.
