I came back here to provide an update to my situation. You see, it's not the first time I've had this- and time again I am proven that it's not me as to why this person is upset and expressing negatively. It really has more to do with what's going on in their personal life. And so, learning not to take things personal has provided a victorious experience. And I believe, setting the intention as I have this morning- made for a good day. Even the woman I was uncertain about seemed less in her head, more present and even friendly. Perhaps the idea is- where do we want to place our energies? Where do we want to reside? And a further question, on a psychic level, are we contributing to a persons negative thinking by wallowing in similar behavior around them? Like entertaining thoughts that don't need to be entertained?
Though my situation is not the same as yours Steve, it was holding on to good intentions- practicing kindness and not taking another's ignorant behavior personal that has aided in the transformation of a better experience for all parties.
I would also like to add if you think distance is best, sometimes it's best to honor that. My good friend LaurenLoo has asked for some distance while she figures things out. In the end, we aren't mean to please everyone. Sometimes we're fulfilling a role as predetermined by another persons internal drama. I have had many people walk away, and I my self have had to walk away from a friend in order to feel some type of peace. As long as we're doing the work(meditating and practicing kindness) God might help make things clear. We aren't perfect in our endeavors, but we try to be gentle with those we care about- and careful with those we don't.
I wonder what you think of this Eric and how it may play into this thread……
