The dare for today was around looking at how easily I get irritated or offended.
I don’t get offended often – as a matter of fact, I can’t remember the last time I was offended. Now irritated, that’s a whole different story. Not a day goes by that I don’t CHOOSE to be irritated by something, and it is usually over something very insignificant.
What I’m beginning to see as I take on each day of the Love Dare is that I make conscious CHOICES to step into the the positive or negative aspect of each of these qualities. Every single decision/choose I make is mine and I am responsible for the outcome. This being the case I have no one to blame but myself if things don’t turn out positively.
If I CHOOSE to get irritated that’s my choice and it has nothing to do with the checkout line taking to long or someone driving to slowly. I’m responsible for making that choice and every thought, feeling, emotion or action that results from that choice and the consequences if there are any.
So the real point is that I am responsible for my own happiness, no one else. And in turn, if my choices are positive and made from love, everyone benefits.
Until next time…
