I used to believe that other people can make me feel bad. I believed that because there was a time when I felt hurt by what someone else said. I realize now that we build fortresses around our weaknesses and I was protecting and guarding something that I believed about myself and that they pointed out. I realize now that anytime I am inclined to feel hurt by what someone else has said it is always me that is in agreement with what they said or it would not have hurt my feelings. I realize now that it isn’t always that I agree with them, it’s just that it hits a nerve in me or resonates with an issue charged with lots of energy. So it is my responsibility to analyze why. No one out there can make me feel anything. I choose to feel everything that I feel. I realize now that as I am convinced of this I will no longer think that I am responsible for how other people feel toward me. Other people’s opinion of me is none of my business. I salute the divinity within all people including myself. I treat all people, including myself, with respect. Therefore I am free. I love myself and I love others. Thank you, self, for realizing this now. I forgive you, self, for having held on to my old patterns of thinking for so long.
It is done.
