We are co-creators, and we cannot run or hide from that responsibility. How do you want to create—in the image and likeness of God or in the image and likeness of Screaming Mimi? Those are the only two choices, Love or fear. That is always our choice and our responsibility.
This is just a little add-on to the last blog since this is a never ending journey. I did not beat myself up, I did have a good laugh at how I was told to have another look. This journey is wonderful! Enjoy! Hopefully, I can finally start the next step.
For years, I tried fixing others because I wanted to feel better. I would think, “If they were better, I would feel better.” I would then hear a buzzer go off in my head telling me that iI missed the mark. The mark, I have learned, is not about fixing others—it is about fixing ourselves.
Step 2 in the plan was judgment. I want to add a point. There are times when I cannot let something that someone else has done go. I plan what I am going to say or do to them over and over in my head. Screaming Mimi is screaming, “You hurt me! I want you to feel bad for how you treated me!” She wonders how it could happen.
Judgment always involves duality or contrast. So complaints are judgments: “It is too hot. It is too cold.” We also judge the positive, “I think that person does wonderful things.” How do you know that person is doing wonderful things? Do you know their motivation? Maybe they are looking to better their career or to be looked up to. Are they trying to get something? You don’t know, nor do I.
mean "eat" metaphorically. We consume the food we eat and our body consumes the words we say. Our body and mind listen not only to what others say but also what we say about everything. If plants and water are affected, it is an easy conclusion that we are too.
About five days ago, I started the exercise that I suggested last week. I only made it two days. The other three days, I had a complaint from the moment I woke up. So here I am, back at day one. Today I want to share some thoughts of what I have experienced. Maybe it will help you.
I am developing my personal plan to save the world. From everything I have learned, I was doing it backwards for many years. I always tried to show others what they should do, but I have learned all I need to do is discover who I truly am, then honor and live it.
