SELF-IMPORTANCE

THE WISDOM OF THE CUP

In the cup of one's self there are many things and Self-importance is just one of the many.
What is Self-importance? It is the way we are brought up to feel about ourselves and how life's daily events fit into shaping our perception of our Self-importance. From the time we are born it comes as spoken language, a gentle guiding hand or heavy and authoritative. We store it as part of one's SELF. Self-importance is highly over rated. In other words a (BIG FAT LIE). I am not saying we shouldn't take care of ourselves. I am saying we need to find a better way to handle the moments, minutes and daily events of our lives without taking them personally. No Self-importance means not taking anything personally.

Let's take a step back and take a look at something that has happens to all of us, someone said or did something that makes us feel bad, and we take it personally. But with out our Self-importance what was said or did couldn't have made us feel bad. Our Self-importance is directly responsible for most if not all of our pain and suffering. It is beyond the scope of this blog to go in to the all part. Our Self-importance is very heavy and it uses up most of our energy each day. Those words that we say made us feel bad are like sand bags on our hearts and minds and we carry them for days, month years and for most until death.  Now if we adopt the understanding that we only get so much energy for each day.  Get rid of Self-importance by not taking anything personally and allow ourselves to start our day with all of our energy. We will be happier and healthier. Family, friends, co-workers and bosses are going to think in some cases that it looks like you may not care, because you don't take things personally, this is a challenge. This is a transformation of one's self, it will separate you form the crowd, but it will allow you to inter act more freely. What they can't see is in one hand you have freedom and energy and in the other hand is self-importance and you have chosen your freedom. Everybody is not at this place at this point in their lives. With timely words and explanations some will come to understand. But the true reward is your freedom.  (Oh what a re-leaf it is). What's in your cup?

I run this blog because I enjoy the thought that somebody else may enjoy it.
I run the ads because I believe good work deserves good pay.

I wish you peace, great health and a long life.
