Anne’s May Update and Musings

I was shopping in Walmart earlier this month and there was a man shopping next to me in one of the aisles. He was super angry and it showed in so many ways. And then he turned that anger toward me. Wow, I hadn’t done anything to deserve that! So now I have two choices – engage in the drama and be in his frequency of anger or move to a different frequency and just walk away.

So, I chose to just walk away, but – there was a lesson there for me as well.

How can we possibly understand another person? How can we even begin to imagine what led up to that specific moment for that person? Regardless of how well we think we may know someone; can you ever really know what has formed and molded their life and their beliefs? Most cases I don't think they even know that themselves, since most of what we believe is carried and buried in the sub-conscious. So how could we possibly know?

So instead of trying to change them, fix them, teach them or preach to them, perhaps we have these opportunities to look at ourselves instead. I believe that no one comes into our life by chance. All of the people we attract are there for a reason, to help us learn and understand ourselves better. So, when a situation like this arises, perhaps it is a sign to ask where that has meaning for me. Feel the anger, or whatever emotion is being shared, and go within to see what the message is. Take the judgment out and just ask your heart.

On the reverse side, I could have chosen to engage in the drama, and that’s perfectly OK too. Because there is a lesson in that as well. And if you choose to do that, just be aware that it is a choice. No judgment, because everything is just an experience. It is our individual belief system that places judgment on things. No one else’s.

In either case, self-awareness is the key. Be diligently aware of your thoughts, your words, your actions. Because only then can you really choose your next steps. Remember, thoughts, words and actions are just energy. E-motion is just Energy in Motion. It’s neutral until you assign a value to it. And that is fully in your power to accept or change. You have the ability and the choice to make that energy into anything you want. Energy is always moving and changing form, so take advantage of that and use it for a higher purpose.   

So just as you can never fully understand someone else, no one else can ever fully understand you. But everyone is exactly where they need to be for their expansion, even you. It’s not our job to “fix” the world or to “fix” other people. It’s our job to look at ourselves, challenge our beliefs and be fully aware of the reality we are creating in every moment. Never doubt your power to create that reality. Then choose what serves you in the moment. No judgment.    

Love and Light,
