Never Take Anything Personal

Good morning to you! Sending loving light to you on this beautiful morning. Through my experience in life Monday morning seems to always have for many people what I use to lovingly refer to Garfield Syndrome. My chorus teacher from high school Mr. Andres used that phrase often on his sleepy eyed students. You see Garfield the cartoon cat hated Monday’s and loved lasagna. Smilez how many of us fit into that box? So I want to wish everyone an especially magical Monday, and may it be filled with loving light!

Today I would like to talk a little about Don Miquel Ruiz wonderful book THE FOUR AGREEMENTS. Like I said in yesterday’s blog this book changed my life, and I wanted to share it with you. Yesterday we talked about how our word’s can cast white magic or black magic. Today I want to touch base with the Second Agreement, “ Never Take Anything Personal.” What a wonderful day to talk about it as many of us will soon be if not already at our designated place of employment. How many of us experienced getting cut off by somebody not paying attention. What reaction did you have? Did you flip them off because they were an idiot? Or did you wish them loving light and a wonderful day? Normally when we take that Cutting off as a personal gesture toward us, it invokes the angry reaction followed by the finger. But if we stop for just one moment and take a breath we realize that person just isn’t in a very happy space and well If I send him or her loving light it raises my vibration and will raise the vibration of that person. So I choose to smile and wave at that person instead.

Another example I find everyday are the posts on facebook. When I come across someone ranting because it was their choice to take whatever was said or done personally. I find it raises my vibration just to send them loving light. When we take things personal we soon find ourselves either in the middle of anger or even in a state of depression. I am here to tell you my friend whatever the reaction to any experience that anyone goes through is their problem and not yours. It only becomes yours if you decide to take it into you and make it yours. Remember anger will bring you more anger, love will bring you more love. When we do decide to take on what I lovingly call other peoples shit we can become ill. We hold onto it and it grows like a cancer, or in my research have seen it turn into cancer.

This also goes both ways in taking a compliment. I have learned that we are on this planet to experience and to also love. When we take a compliment inside ourselves and it goes to our head, we can become “puffed up”. Our spiritual ego loves this because it strokes our ego. I have learned that when I take a compliment into my heart it flows and than whispers away.

I have learned that I am no better than you, as a matter of fact I am a mirror image of you. What do you see mostly? Is it positive loving attributes or the negative judging reflection? It truly is your choice. What I see is truly a reflection of what I have inside me, a reflection of either my heart or ego. After all I am you, and you are me, and we are one.

Think about it. Name calling, labeling, bullying, whatever we have created in the past would simply disappear when everyone starts living by those 4 little words…. “NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.” Honestly there wouldn’t be anything to fight over, and than… well we have peace.

Today I have only touched upon the Second Agreement for it is very powerful to choose to Never Take Anything Personally. It’s wonderful food for thought my friends. Happy digesting.

P.S I just wanted to quickly touch on the choices I made food wise in my journey of being healthy. When I first moved back to Colorado I had a wonderful acupunctu

rist at the Whole Health Center in Highlands Ranch that suggested I try the Candida diet. On this way of eating I completely took yeast, caffeine, sugar and anything that could grow yeast out of my daily diet. Did you know that there is yeast in sooooo many products out on the market? I grew accustomed to reading every single label I came across. An over abundance of candida in our system can lead to many health issues as well or worsen a condition that has already manifested. During this healthy way of eating the pounds shed off of me. I excercised some but it was minor and consisted mostly of walking and light yoga. After I started developing my muscles back I even started to run a bit. Exercise is something that I can definitely improve on though.

With that I will leave you to experience your day, remember if you fill it with love, love will return to you. I love you so very much. I wish for love, joy, peace, health, and abundance, and what I wish for myself I wish for every MAN, WOMAN, and CHILD. Sending you loving light. Namaste’ ( I see the god or goddess inside you and I love and respect you.)
