Provoking Ownership

 


"It's not your fault.  They're just being
who they're being."
Lee Harris 

A cactus, no matter how lovely, has prickles and if not careful, one can get hurt.  The same can be true of human beings.  We can be the target of projected negativity without provoking. Don't own what is not yours!

When we remember this, we will also be reminded that we are not necessarily responsible for the behavior.  Each one of us has choice as to how to react in any situation.  We have choice and personal behavior is just that ... personal.

Aggressive behaviors may have absolutely nothing to do with us. When we can deflect with compassion, accepting that we are all on a very individualistic journey, entanglement can be avoided. It isn't always about 'us'.
