thought for the day...

spurred by an entry by kulilinei

"Oh, I can't talk to _____, they're not ______[christian, pagan, sharing my belief system.]"

change to

I CAN talk to them. I CAN work with them. I CAN achieve understanding and rapport. Because I AM [christian, pagan, living my life according to my belief system.]

My interactions aren't about controlling the other person, or making them think and believe as I do.

If I am working to be in alignment with my best thoughts, my most open heart, my best 'me'...I can talk with or work with ANYONE.

Just by giving up judgement and giving up needing or expecting them to behave a certain way.


Is this naive or foolish?

or is this me thinking & acting from LOVE rather than FEAR, as I've wanted to do & been trying to do for a long time now?

hm.

If nothing else, if I don't get into ego-contests or struggles for control with the toxic people, they'll get bored and go away. Right?

Generally, I don't think so. The normal ones will go away. Those you don't care much about. It's the particularly bad ones (psychotic, neurotic, or just plain nuts) that won't and THOSE are the ones you have to worry about.

My 2 cents.
