I just recorded and released a new podcast episode entitled Perception is a Choice.

I thought it might be helpful because so many people are upset about things that are going on in the world and we can learn to see that we’re never upset for the reason we think.

I’ve been writing for years about my own upsets and how I’ve learned that when I’m upset, I’m not seeing things correctly.  There’s a higher perspective and I’d like to find it and maintain my Peace.

Not long after publishing this episode I received an email from someone who was upset with me for what I shared about my own process around the election results.  They weren’t upset about what I shared, they were upset because of their interpretation of what they thought I said, but didn’t.

Isn’t that the kind of thing that happens all the time?

And still, I know that not everything I share will make everyone happy or feel good.  Not everyone agrees with me, and I don’t need them to.  My agreement with myself is to be transparent and not pretend that I don’t feel what I feel.  I don’t want to hide.  I don’t need to be right about everything I share – people disagree with me and I can learn from that.  I’m not trying to convince anyone.  This feels healthy to me.

I’m not threatened if people don’t agree.  We can still love each other.  We can still enjoy each other.

Some of the people who are most dear to me in my life don’t see things the way I do.  I’m okay with that.

I’ve had many experiences in my life where I’ve said one thing and people have heard another – because we don’t hear what people say, we hear what we believe they’re saying.  There’s a difference.

People who feel insecure hear criticism when there is none.

People who worry hear problems when there are none.

And not everyone takes responsibility for how they feel about what they think they hear.  Instead, people prefer to blame.

Sometimes people get upset when they don’t like how you feel.  They prefer us to be happy all the time and find it challenging when we’re not – sometimes they take it personally.  I totally understand.  I find that I prefer people to be happy too – and still, I know that there’s a healing opportunity when we’re upset.

I like to make the most of every healing opportunity.

I really do.  I’ve missed so many of them in my life and I don’t wish to miss any more.  Sometimes we wish to avoid looking within, and doing the deeper work, but we usually feel much better afterwards.

I’m glad that I can handle when people are upset with me for sharing my thoughts and I can respond with Love.  That’s a wonderful skill we can all learn.  It comes in handy often!  It’s beautiful to be able to feel safe even when folks are upset.  We can stay in our loving heart and be a beneficial presence.  We can then be truly helpful.  And that’s the only reason we’re here.
