Morning:)........I consider myself to be reformed......a reformed people pleaser, and control freak......having the weight of others spinning in my orbit, and trying to control every piece of my life.....thinking that somehow if I did that, everything was going to be alright....and as I type that, it occurs to me that the divine showed up, so many times to break that open....to show me so fully that I am not in control of so much of my life, despite feeling otherwise...and to lead me RIGHT HERE, free from it all.........and the biggest trap we can get into, is the one where we place our happiness and peace with another person, or dependent upon a certain situation.....having them or it be responsible for our happiness and joy.....and once I realized that, awhile back....... that alchemizing my need for control changes my experience.....I mean, most humans have that need.....but once I shed it and LET IT GO.....my life changed.....my peace increased.....my joy.....my happiness......adopting a YOU DO YOU mentality for everybody.....even my kids to some degree.....I do not let small stuff rattle me at all.....my daughter comes to me with all of her stuff.....and trusts that I won't overreact, judge her, or attempt to control what she does....and my son too....I let go and back off as often as I am able.....while still parenting lol:) But where it has been the most helpful is in my personal life....choosing to alchemize all of that, and control what I can.....my daily habits.....my bliss places.....how I run my life.....and it has absolutely set me free....and really "WHO CARES".....if we really think about, who cares what somebody does??? Once you lay your ego down, you become free....SO many people are running around the world, led by their ego....being provoked over nonsense.....and the more easily provoked you are, the more easily somebody can rattle what you do, the more stuck you become.....the other day we had a training after work.....and before the presenter started they were all joking around about how they need to park in the same parking spot every day....and I was the only one in the room that parks in a different one every day:)....and he was later talking about how most teachers are Type A and he pointed to me, and said maybe except you lol:) I used to be Type A....and maybe I have some qualities of that....I am driven.....but the other hallmarks no longer resonate....I run my classroom with that ease too....while still having order....shedding those things....or maybe not so much shedding but RELEARNING.....we can relearn our lives.....I am proof of that too.....just because we used to be, doesn't mean we still have to be....often times people will tell me how I should respond to a situation in my life that comes up....and it normally involves letting them have it lol:) And nah......there is no point in that.....my peace IS my power......I say what I need to sometimes.....but most of the time, it isn't worth it....and if you start looking at your life like that.....being discerning about what deserves your attention and what doesn't......well you become FREE......truly FREE.....so this morning I say to you, "WHO CARES".....don't let yourself care more than others about stuff that doesn't matter.....just put it down and walk on.....and watch your life change:) Happy Friday! We made it, this one was a doozy lol:)
