What if we turned it all upside down?

Posted on by philipdodson

We are always looking for something to stop us doing something, for something to judge or criticise, we look to catch others doing something wrong, we seek to label and control.

What if we turned all that upside down and always ‘yes..do that!’, what if we accepted others for what they are, what if we looked to catch others doing something right and praised them, what if we let go and realise we can only control ourselves?

Wow…what a massive change that could make and we can all do it right now, if we choose to. Our choice to associate with our mind and its fears or to let our essence from our soul shine and all its love.

Other person’s shoes

When someone is angry, or rude, or frustrated or she/he behaves in a way that is not their normal way of behaving, instead of reacting the same towards them, perhaps we we could choose to seek to understand.

What is happening in the other person’s mind that is causing them to lash out, to react?

We always want to judge first, to see how that person’s behaviour affects our little story, our ego always wants to personalise it, to see it in terms of how does this affect me?

If we all choose to empathise, understand and be compassionate first, then we could all suffer less.

We could all learn to walk in the other person’s shoes and show kindness.
