Probably the most difficult thing a person will ever do is learn how not to be controlled by the emotional pull of people and outer circumstances. How things are allowed to pull you into them is beyond the comprehension of most. What makes it so difficult is the way you attach to people and the circumstances and take it personal. If a person is unconscious and acts accordingly, or when someone doesn’t do something that is expected of them, it’s taken personal and you are the one who suffers because of it. People disappoint, it seems to be the nature of being human. Because of the self-centeredness of our human conditioning it’s very difficult to see beyond yourself. Very few people really think of others, mostly people think of themselves. It can be disheartening, but only if it’s taken personally.
Because of the self-centered Conditioned Mind most people are unaware of how they affect others. I can’t really care about you if there isn’t awareness how my actions are affecting you, and I won’t even know that my actions are affecting you if all I’m concerned with is me. This is why most people don’t do what they say they are going to do and have little regard how they affect others, because when “I” is your driving force, there is no time or need to have concerns for others.
Understanding this is key in not letting the behavior of others or outer circumstances control your emotions. Taking it personal is tied into emotions. It will take much quietness to understand this and go beyond “I” energy. This is the energy that is causing all this nonsense in the first place. There is so much nonsense tied to emotions, but what it really comes down to is this: “how important is it” because nothing is worth having your peace of mind taken from you by making what someone else does personal…
