Something happened with another person this morning that set me off at first in my old pattern of doing things. The incidence that occurred gave me that old uneasy feeling and I even went so far as to text a dear friend and say, I am stepping out of the middle of this before things get ugly again. Having sent that off I then realized I was in that fight or flight mind set again, that okay i am running attitude. I was stopped by something however amazing, I was stopped by my own self worth that God has instilled in me. Something I had no idea existed a year ago. A calmness came over me as I realized I had a new choice I never thought I had before and that was the choice to do absolutely nothing but to breath and just disengage. This morning I learned that ones reaction to me does not have to then reciprocate a reaction back from me. I realized that It did not have to upset my day, I did not have to block this person, be angry at this person, be hurt by this person and in those realizations a bigger beauty was born for me and that was that there does not have to be a judgement placed on why said person would react in such a way thus giving me the freedom to be able to just let it roll off me and go on with the friendship intact. this is a huge change for me and it has nothing to do with me other than being willing to make the choice to give up self and let God do His work in me. wow, God is amazing!
