“There Is A Reason Why We Project Our Issues Onto Others!”

For a number of years, I thought that the reason we projected our inner world/issues onto others was due to a lack of awareness; therefore, this wouldn’t take place if someone was self-aware. This was something that I was fairly convinced of. I think I even wrote a number of articles where I went into this, and this is what I would usually say if I was having a conversation with someone. It took me a little while to come to this conclusion. Over The years

Kindness goes with happiness

Do you need to be happy to be kind? Does it help to be kind to be happy? Is your kindness genuine? Do you expect anything in return? Do you do it for the beauty of kindness? I learned over time that sometimes, I was expecting at least a thank you and that it was making me sad and upset when I was not getting it. So I was kind but I was ruining my own feeling of happiness because of my expectations. Does it ring a bell? So I decided to stop being kind until I would be able to be kind just to be kind, expecting nothing back at all.

Don’t Try To Save Or Rescue Anyone!

Before I went on a Hoffman process introduction day, there was a moment when I had this sense that we would all be told not to try to rescue or save anyone during the day. I ended up putting this insight to one side. After I had been at this introduction day for about an hour or so, one of the facilitators ended up touching upon how important it was for us not to try to fix or rescue anyone during this day. As I had already sensed that this would happen a few days earlier, it was slightly surreal to hear this. A Key Point
