For my 50th birthday this week, I received a glorious outpouring of well-wishes. Yet, one birthday wish came with a sword! I am a believer in Wayne Dyer’s opinion – “be independent of the good opinions of other people.” In most cases, I listen to negative feedback and look for ways to improve. The ill birthday wish was full of anger and I took it to heart. I instantly cried from my soul when I read the cutting words. Then, I stopped and asked myself to look for the truth in this person’s words. Some of the situations and words used to describe me are rooted in truth. Now, what can I learn from this? All of my doubts about myself came flying at me in this persons harsh birthday wish. Less than one day later, I came down with a fever, sore throat, and headache!! Talk about my body letting me know I needed to say something about this situation. I am choosing to share this part of the story with you with the hope that I am released from feeling as if I cannot speak and if you experience a situation like this you will know that anger back is not the only answer. Retaliation and trying to change someone’s opinion of me takes a lot of energy that I can be using on those who do love and respect me. My belief is that what you put out – you get back. I would like to tell the Universe that I GET IT! I love and accept myself, right NOW!
