Interesting post Ian. Blessing to me is the practice of love in all situations, and I’ve had a few where someone didn’t like me. It use to bother me all the time and still can sometimes. But now I try my best to just bless the moment as it is and not let any negative power present take command of the situation by taking command of me. It helps me so much to whisper to my own soul, if that’s all I choose to do… “I bless the power in this situation in the compassion and peace of divine perfection.” I might go farther with a blessing if I choose, but since, when it happens, it’s just so surprising why somebody would not like me I keep the blessing short in the moment and go farther into it when I can go into my “blessing zone”. But it’s always beneficial to remember we are the power within all of our experiences, so what Byron Katie says here are from a deep and profound place I believe. Thanks for sharing this. May your week be filled with joy and love.
“It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” ~ Patrick Rothfuss
“Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.”~ Cherie Carter-Scott
