Write this agreement on paper, and put it on your refrigerator to remind you all the time:
~Don't Take Anything Personal~
As you make a habit of not taking anything personal, you won't need to place your trust in what others say or do. You will only need to trust yourself to make responsible choices. You are never responsible for the actions of others; you are only responsible for you. When you truly understand this, and refuse to take things personally, you can hardly be hurt by the careless comments or actions of others.
If you keep this agreement, you can travel around the world with your heart completely open and no one can hurt you. You can say "I love you," without fear of being ridiculed or rejected. You can ask for what you need. You can say yes, or you can say no ~ What ever the choice ... without guilt or self judgment. You can choose to follow your heart always. Then you can be in the middle of hell and still experience inner peace and happiness. You can stay in your state of
Bliss, and hell will not affect you at all ~
