Magnificence – Part 1

Is there someone in your life that makes you feel bad about yourself – either by their words or their actions? Do you go out of your way trying to please them or make them change without success? It seems like nothing you can do can make the situation better and yet you keep trying again and again. You may even take actions that are against your true nature just to get them to change. Somehow if I’m different they will like me better, they will change, and I’ll be okay. Because you have given away your power to this person, they have the ability to kill your spirit. What we thought would be good for us, what we wanted to work in the worst way, turned out to be something that hurts us at our core.

Centered Action

You have to realize that this person is the way they are and they cannot and will not change in this regard. Nothing you do or say can make them act or think differently. And it is irrational and unreasonable to think you can change the way they feel or the way they treat you. You have given away the power to feel good about yourself to someone else. Here is the truth: You are a magnificent, exceptional child of God, just as you are – no exceptions. This is true no matter what anyone else might say, think or do. Practice keeping your attention off this other person. And remind yourself:

If you feel this message would be useful to someone you know, please forward it to them.

Keep the Faith, Clean up the messes in Your Path, Give to Someone Else,

And Be Your Most Magnificent Self…
