Don't Take It Personally

In Don Miguel Riuz's book The Four Agreements, he talks about four rules to live your life by: 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2. Don't take anything personally. 3. Don't make assumptions. 4. Always do your best.
I want to talk about number two. Don't take anything personally. Today I am working very hard on remembering this simple but profound rule. How often when something happens in our life do we feel that it is a reflection about us. The questions flow What did I do? What didn't I do? If I only did this it would have been better. I could have prevented it from happening. The truth is, it is not about you....What ever is going on in the other person is their stuff not yours and to accept their stuff is not your responsibility. Your responsibility is to work on your own stuff.
Check in with yourself. How are you feeling at this present moment? Is the relationship feeling good or is it feeling not so good? Where is that feeling coming from? How does it relate to this present moment? What in this moment is about you? Can you figure out if this is from an old belief? If so what do you need to do to change it so that you can feel better? You are only responsible for you.....Let go of what other people think, because to be honest, you will never know the answer to that question.....
