The pre-conference workshop I am taking is about Healthy Congregations. The material can be used by anyone who wants to understand what it takes to live spiritually. ;Last night we discussed the "tenents" of a good leader which can be said to be the "tenents" of an awakened person. One of those is:
Person takes responsibility for self... They are aware of their own feelings, and neither blame others nor require others to share those feelings. They ask themselves regularly, "What can I learn from this situation?"
That's a big one.. we take responsibility for ourself... for our feelings, disappointments, anger, frustrations. We stop telling others, "YOU make me feel..." Your feelings are IN you. Therefore we are the ones who need to address those feelings, work through them, understand them.
Just for today be aware of whether you blame others, the news, the government, your neighbor or co-worker, for your life experience. The Truth is they are not to blame. Feelings are there for us to better understand ourselves and to heal what needs to be healed.
