Step Back

Things happen every day.I am learning from every experience that the greatest part of happiness, suffering, joy, and all other emotions is dependent on the perception and disposition of how we relate to issues. It isn't based on our circumstances or events. It is all based on how we relate to the situations. We get to choose to be stagnant or move forward.Shit happens! That's all there is to it. But, if we allow the discomfort to set in and stay in that space then we are living on a reaction rather than shifting our perception. A bad day doesn't mean a bad life. It's just a bad moment. It is a lesson. It is the universe providing an opportunity for spiritual expansion. Sometimes it is just a push in our timeline to wake up and return to the present. We get triggered and ignore it.Don't! DO NOT DO THAT!!!! If you ignore it the issue will persist.Step back and get outside. Get out of your ego. Remove yourself from the event. Things alter and change when you give yourself permission to just be. In two minutes a phone call from a friend can alter that disappointment. In a few hours your children can invite you to be a kid again. You don't have to reside in the negativity forever.That's all!Have a blessed day! ~m.a.p.
