[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] We don't adequately think an issue through

We don't adequately think an issue through; we let fear rule a decision.
digging ourselves an even deeper hole than the one we're already in; we
fail to connect deeply with people and situations around us, leading to all
manner of negative results Marianne Willamson

When I make a decision based on fear, it backfires, shit hits fan - no
exception! work, love, play, any category. And what exactly is fear in my case? When love is absent, when the ego is
raging, when I am out to prove something or someone wrong or prove myself
right, when I forget who I am and start acting needy, and I think my worth
is established by what other people think and not by God

So, I made a promise to myself not to concsiously get involved with
someone, either through face to face contact or technology- why? I just
felt that given the experiences that I had with this person I felt that, I
was not a priority - a friend, in a way that I defined friendship. Really
nice person though and the thing is, their interpretation of our friendship
may be totally different to mine. And that is okay We don't usually get to tell people how to love us, what we get is the
opportunity to choose if we want that type of loving, we get to choose if
we want to be around it. Don't bother trying to change people - that
usually doesn't end very well. I know now that my feelings are my responsibility, I cannot or I will not,
hold anyone responsible for how I am feeling, the feelings are mine. And so I did the whole delete all contact, distracted myself when the urge
arose to chat, you know how we do it? Yesterday I relented and seriously, nothing feels worse to me than going
back on my own word when I did not renegotiate it in advance. I contacted the person I did it out of fear And it was a bad idea Do things in love, discipline yourself to do things that are self loving
and self honoring, take the time to forgive yourself when you go off course It will get better All things are lessons that God will have us learn and all things are for good Peace
