Just pondering an incident in my own life...and I realized I was taking it personally. My ego was shocked and bruised and I couldn't imagine how this could happen to a nice person like me.
I wonder how much of our pain and trouble is caused because we misinterpret what people say and do to us?
Our ego-centric nature is what causes us to think the worst and to take everything personally. It's not in our nature to think...I wonder what's going on for him right now? What pain inside caused him to do or say that?
When we take the actions of other people personally, this is our ego speaking, telling us that we are the center of the universe, that everything that happens in our lives revolves around us. Our ego is the veil separating us from the true, spiritual reality.
Today, I am believing that the more I tame my ego-centric thinking, the more I don't take it personally, the more connected to Spirit I will be. Hmmm, I feel better already!
I'm holding the high watch!
