Minnie Mightie Morsel #4 - Our worth is in being and not in doing.

Every human being is worthy or of value because they are Alive. What they go on to achieve or accumulate does not increase or decrease that worth. Living a life filled with enriching experiences, open-mindedness and curiosity allows a person to better realize who they are and how they impact the world around them. This realization makes life more worthwhile to that person but his/her worth remains the same. Society would disagree and continues to cause separation and discourse as a result. Youth, beauty, intellectual intelligence, money, job position, ambition, possessions and social status are some of the ear markers that society uses to determine a person's value.
It takes a strong sense of Self to not be caught up in this empty illusion.

We tell our children that they are special and unique but really we should emphasize that every child is worthy and equal. Yes our children  have unique and special ways in which they express their creativity and will grow up and  fulfill their dreams and desires but they are no more important or special then any other child.

We are equally worthy and interconnected. When we are able to take this concept from our mind and implant it in our hearts, a sense of relief, freedom and lightness will be unleashed. We don't have to proof ourselves to anyone. We are free to choose the way we want to live our lives with the understanding that we are not an island. Our chooses that bring peace or chaos to our lives affect the lives of those around us.

If we choose to feed into the fears, hatred and victim mentality of the world, then we add fuel to the fire. We are all worthy, we are all connected and we are all equal. Live your life following your inner guidance rather than from the desires of others so that you come to know who you really are and what gifts you have come to bring to this ailing world. We all have something to offer but more important we Are Worthy.

MMM#3 - Don't Take it Personally

Minnie Mightie Morsel #3 - Don't take it personally.

Don't take it personally when:

1. Someone criticizes you. They are viewing you and your situation from their point of view, from their life experience and reality. Step back and digest what they say. Does it hold any truth or value for you? If not, don't obsess over it. Simply let it go. It is their perspective of things not yours.

2. Someone gives you advice. The advice will stem from the person's own realm of possibilities and belief in him or herself. One person might say "Go after that job!", while the next person might say, "Stay where you are!". So ultimately, believe in yourself and follow the path that gives you the most peace or joy.

3. "Bad" things are happening to you. Life is about challenges and no one is immune to that. There are some things that we can control and other things that are out of our control. We can take things personally and play the victim or we can choose to look at the challenge as an opportunity to discover our strengths. Instead of saying, "Why is this happening to me?" consider, "What has this come to teach me?".

4. Negative thoughts surface. Question the negative thoughts. Are they based on fact, reality or truth? Don't take them to heart but simply deal with what is happening in the NOW and work from there.

5. Someone hurts you physically or emotionally. People that fail or refuse to recognize the pain, fear and hurt in themselves will react to life by hurting others. Holding on to anger or bitterness towards the assailant only serves to further create pain, suffering and a sense of powerlessness within yourself. Being able to forgive and let go restores personal freedom and makes room for happiness again. Forgiving does not mean forgetting or submitting but rather releasing the grips of the emotional pain. You have a right to feel your feelings, to set boundaries, to never forget and to withdraw trust but don't shutdown your heart.

So the next time someone cuts you off in traffic or butts in front of you at the grocery store, breath. Tell yourself that you are not so important that the accused focused in on you and deliberately wanted to mess up your day. Maybe just maybe, they are sadly, wrapped up in their own illusionary world of chaos and oblivious to the affect they have on others around them. Don't take it personally and raise your blood pressure by feeding into someone else's drama. Taking things personally, robs you of the greatest gift you can give yourself and reflect back to others, a state of inner peace.
