I remember seeing this snake on one of my daily runs last year. I jumped and immediately reacted in fear.
The fact is this snake isn’t poisonous. It really can’t hurt me, but my reaction could have. I almost ran into the road. LOL!
.
It made me think…A snake bite doesn’t kill its the venom that can.
.
A snakes bite may be painful and even cause injury to the skin, but the bite itself is not what causes fatal outcomes. It’s our body’s reaction to the snake venom that kills.
.
This is also true when it comes to how we react to the people in our lives.
.
A “bite” or offense against us may be painful. It may even cause injury, but it is our reaction to it that determines the outcome.
.
It’s really important we don’t confuse how we feel reactively with reality. Feelings can lead to unintended outcomes.
.
“They made me feel…”
.
Nobody can make us feel anything. Our feelings come from the thought choices we make. We construct our feelings with our thoughts. In other words we choose the thoughts that create our feelings.
.
If someone passes judgement on us or does us wrong it doesn’t mean we have to live out our feelings about that judgement. A judgement from someone is their opinion and their opinion is just an expression of where they are on their particular path in life. Actions they commit against us is a reflection of their character not ours.
.
We don’t need to assign blame to anyone for making us feel anyway. We can accept that we are with our current circumstances because of our own choices. Justifying resentment is not helpful when our main goal is better results in our own life.
.
The reason we don’t want to assign blame to someone else is because then we have to wait for them to do something to fix it.
This isn’t a free pass on the transgression committed against us it’s a life strategy for better results. Our feelings of hurt, anger or resentment do not equal any sort of justice.
.
We can choose not to create negative feelings from our thoughts.
.
We can’t give away what we don’t have and we generally get more of what we put out. If all we are holding onto is anger, hurt and resentment then that’s all we have to give out.
.
Like the venom from a snake it can kill, but what it kills is all our aspirations for better life results.
.
Take an inventory of what you are holding on to. Ask yourself what do I have to give out and what am I wanting more of? Make sure you are giving out what you want back.
