What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love - I am merely a catalyst

I am grateful for the awareness that whatever someone says about me, my writing, or my work... has nothing to do with me.

Whether the comment is positive or negative, it's never about me. Whatever feelings are evoked by something I say or write, is about where you are and how you feel about yourself, in that moment. I am merely a catalyst. Stacy Herrera

Vulnerability is a strength, I have learnt that over the last few years.
Showing up as yourself, open, authentic, being willing to be different,
misunderstood, forge your own path, get beat up and bloodied in the ring
facing what you want, that is courage

Setting and playing by your own rules. It gets tiring and its certainly no
fun having the disease to please, and that battle in the "please other
people ring" is never won. What would people say? That comment no longer has much effect on me and getting there was a process, sometimes a very painful one How would I look? Ditto Letting down myself has more of an effect, meaning when I make a commitment to myself, looking myself in the eye in the mirror and committing to an act
which I know is for my highest good and then not doing it for whatever
reason is even worse than how it will look or what will people say

So as Stacy says, I take feedback, I take it knowing that many many times
the comments are about where a person is at the time - internally and same when I am sucked into a story and responding to a situation - it really is all about me at the time. Don't get sucked into the story! See it for what it is, a lesson, a call for love - sometimes love of self or to give love (and trust me, love can be given from afar) Peace
