So I just got home from My weekly Thursday night mediation group.It went awesome as always and I was asked to put a portion of the discussion on my blog so here it goes.
The discussion was basically about taking our positive energy with us during our daily lives. and how we can interact with those around us without taking on there negative energy.
Think of it this way......around you is a sphere of energy. I have always believed that your energy will communicate with those around you before you do without you realizing it. that person that gives you a bad vibe...you don't like him or her and you don't know why...."man that guy gives me the creeps".. or..... the opposite can be true " wow I just started to talk to her and we really hit it off...it was like we knew each-other our whole lives" this is just your energy merging and communicating with the world around you
The discussion was how to deal with strong negative energy. I am a server / waiter by trade so I have some experience in this area. Sometimes people come into the restaurant in a bad Mood ..... STAGGERING to think people are not always nice I know....lol...
So Here I am... Mr Meditates more in three day than most people do in a week...thinking why Me...I'm doing the right thing why do I attract....these angry people. I should be attracting NICE CALM People right unfortunately ....noooooo universe sends us what it sends us.
Of course getting upset back at them doesn't work obviously getting mad back might cost me my job and that wouldn't be good....... but what you resist PERSISTS...in that these people feed off of negative energy......getting mad....thats what they want you to do
You have heard the saying KILL EM WITH KINDNESS. This is what seems to work for me best....Kinda funny I'm the one writing about this today....anyone who works with me can tell you I'm Not perfect at this....But I am Getting better at it some times walking in love and light is not easy but NO ONE SAID DOING WHAT IS RIGHT WAS GOING TO BE EASY.
think of it this way. Being nice to people that are nice to you back.......is EASY.
Being Nice to that person who is Screeaming and Yelling At you For NO REASON.......that's Hard.
The example we talked about was CHRIST.....so there he is....On the CROSS....IN HORRIBLE PAIN AND THE PAIN IS GETTING WORSE EVERY MINUTE......and what does he say.....Forgive them for they know not what they do. Think about that for a second.......He had Every Reason In The World To Be ANGRY....but he wasn't....He showed these people compassion....... What ever I'm going thru I'M NOT ON A CROSS....I'M NOT IN PAIN....AND MOST CERTAINLY....I'M NOT GOING TO DIE.....so maybe....just may I should show a little compassion on my fellow man
Make no mistake ......there is Spirit in all of us.......we don't not all walk in it....we won't all acknowledge it....but it is there just the same.....The Kindness of god leads us to repentance....who is to say....you were not put in that spot at that moment....to help someone wake up and begin to walk in spirit.....Have you ever seen the reaction from being nice to some one like this......they don't know what to do....they are angry....scared....upset....whatever......and you are nice back to them......THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.......and....sometimes....not always...they settle down
The other advantage I have is.........There is a good chance that I will Never See these People ever again in my entire life.......which is an encouraging thought if ya think about it....
As I'm writing this I am Reminded of one of my Favorite Books....Greatest Salesman in The World. by Og Mandino it he speaks of using Love as a Weapon....and as a Shield
Let me leave you with one of My Favorite Quotes from that book
Henceforth I will love ALL Mankind From this moment all hate is let from my veins for I HAVE NO TIME TO HATE ONLY TO LOVE From this moment I will take the first step required to become a man among men With love I will increase my sale a hundred fold and become a great salesman If I have no other qualities I can Succeed with love alone Without it I will fail though I posses All of the knowledge and skills of the world I WILL GREET THIS DAY WITH LOVE... AND I WILL SUCCEED
THAT WAS REALLY COOL....Certainly I can be better at dealing with people.....anyone who works with me at the restaurant knows this....thanks Guys for asking me to do this.....It was a great reminder of the right thing to do
