"If we allow our emotions to deplete our energy, we have no energy to change our life or to give to others." -The Four Agreements.

Everything you believe is exactly that- a belief. It is a concept, a thought, a story you have written about your life, about other people's lives, about how the world should work. You make assumptions and judgments based on these stories and react to injustice according to this system you have fabricated. You let these stories control you, you let them take a hold of your emotions and depending on how ready you are to look at yourself as a person, depending on how ready you are to be wrong, you can change you life. Only you have the power to change that. Only you can look at the stories you tell to yourself and to others and realise that they're not actually true. Right now you believe that things should be different to how they are. Don't argue, it's pointless. Something in your life could always be better, right? What if you are wrong? What if this  is as good as it's ever going to get? Things are as they are because that is how it is supposed to be! And the only thing you can control is how you react to adversity. There is a lot of strength in saying no to your story. Take control and say no to the thoughts running through your head that argue with reality. Let them go. Someone may try to hurt you, but  being hurt is a choice. In no way do I dare say it is an easy choice but it is a choice nonetheless. I know that for a fact because I have been hurt. I've been hurt by those closest to me, by those I trusted completely and by those I feared the most. But I know now that you must forgive those that have wronged you, because resentment hurts no one but yourself. Resentment is like eating rat poison to kill a rat and who really wants to continue suffering the same injustice over and over for a lifetime? A thought is a thought and nothing more. A feeling is a feeling and nothing more. It has taken me a long time to get to this point and sometimes I still struggle with it, but there is nothing more to it. The truth is that there is no truth.

-Be impeccable with you word
-Don't take anything personally
-Don't make assumptions
-Always do your best.

Peace out motherfuckers.
