This was an idea that occurred to me this morning on my commute. I have found myself so bothered lately by this idea but was unable to put it into words. I cannot say that I am free from doing this myself. So, why do I let it bother me so when I witness others falling prey to it? I like to think of myself as 'treating people how I would like to be treated'. I also tell it like it is most of the time and I am not so sure I would always like the outcome being on the opposite side of the spectrum.
I have been hurt by words before but maybe that was because I didn't quite agree with the words spoken. Do we ever agree when someone is being honest and the the words said don't reflect us in the best light? Also, it is hard to differentiate when someone is speaking actual truth, or their version of the truth. We have to be the ones to filter out their illusions and focus on the actual meaning of what is being said.
This being said, we have to take responsibility for our thoughts as well as what we actually say. It might not be the easiest thing to do. In light of past experiences and recent ability to put into words I created a mantra of my own.
Stop focusing on what we think everyone is doing wrong and start focusing on what is being done right.
This could be a great way to focus on positive things in your life. Did you know that some say the more you focus on positive things the more you are able to bring positive things your way?
