This month, I want to address a big question several of my readers have been asking recently. It’s funny how sometimes there seems to be a direct route from the collective conscious to me, as there are times when I keep getting the same sorts of concerns folded into the same sorts of mail from all over the world.
These last few months, the mail seems to be about people who have done something really sweet for someone else, but then don’t feel like they've gotten the amount of appreciation they deserve, or worse, they've seen the relationship end over perceived pulled punches and tense times.
I say: Let it go! If you did something wonderful for someone (pick from the myriad of complaints I hear daily: lent money, gave away clothes, put in a good word so someone could get a job, fixed someone up with another person in your life) and the outcome isn't what you wanted, you must move on or you will languish in your own livid toxins. And then you are the one who really loses.
A few months ago I was very let down in a potential business deal. I could have gotten angry, upset or sad, but those emotions would only have perpetuated the negative energy. Instead, I looked for the blessings buried inside this situation. I deactivated any strong emotional response I was having and instead made the conscious decision that every time this circumstance came to my attention I would see the end result as something that would eventually benefit me. And with that visual created, I put it in a bubble over my head and whenever I think of this agenda, I blow four strong breaths of light into it.
I know that when somebody jumps out on a promise it hurts. I know that when you go out of your way to help a friend get a job interview and they never even show up it's humiliating. But, this I know as well: the only thing you can ever control is your response and your reaction. Go out and finally hang that five-pronged metal wind chime to the left of your front door as you look out at the street and call in the fresh chi to assist in putting the perfect ending to that visual in your overhead bubble! You know, that same bubble that you will be blowing big breath to and, then my friend, I promise, these problems will be properly buried in the past where they belong, and your fine future will once again unfold before you!
