Thought for the day
May 4, 2009 by sarah.
“every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong
with us”
No matter how unreasonable others may seem, I am responsible for not reacting
negatively. Regardless of what is happening around me I will always have the
prerogative, and the responsibility, of choosing what happens within me. I am
the creator of my own reality.
When I [review my day], I know that I must stop judging others. If I judge
others, I am probably judging myself. Whoever is upsetting me most is my best
teacher. I have much to learn from him or her, and in my hearts, I should thank
that person.
