Lesson 194: Glad You Did

“What would you be glad that you did, EVEN if you failed?”

— Brene Brown

We are to consider this statement today. There are many things I want to achieve in my lifetime. I even have a list of things I want to do in 2018. What I really want to do is learn piano and learn a language. I have started and failed to keep a routine that allows the learning to flow. I don’t know why I can’t maintain it. I think it’s one of those things that I need to do every day at the same time to establish a routine. I think I will get there and even if I’m not good at playing piano or speaking another language, I can say that I tried. Other things I want to try include ballet, hula dancing, reading 20 books by the end of the year, master a form of handwriting, find a charity to volunteer at, travel to a new country and write more poetry and a book. Not sure that I will have the opportunity to achieve all of these things this year, but I will try to make a start.

I am actually sitting here trying to think of something in the past where I tried and may have failed. I actually had a book challenge where I wanted to read 50 books in a year. I started out really well and go to 24 and then just stopped reading. I mean, I hadn’t really read books for years so to achieve 24 was really a good attempt. I set a goal of 20 this year but haven’t really picked up books that weren’t related to witchcraft and my learning. I am reading quite a few books but haven’t actually finished any. It’s definitely something to work on.

What is something you can think of that you want to try or do, even if you might fail at it?

Lesson 194: When You Argue With Someone...

Let’s not argue with someone today. That’s the lesson… but also not quite. When we argue with someone, we tend to have a certain element of energy – whether that be frustration, anger, excitement… that conducts within that argument. Today, we are to “look outside the facts” and try instead by looking at the vibration/frequency. We are to move to into our compassion to raise our vibration so that the person we are arguing with, matches your vibration. We are there to lift it. We can make this change in others.
I personally do not go out of my way to argue with others. I tend to only place a point across when I need to. I just don’t see the point in arguing. I accept healthy discussions with good action points that leads to a good outcome.

If there are arguments, I sit there and listen. If I feel a rise in me, then I will say something to stand up for myself but it’s never in an argumentative way. I’ve found that the situations I’ve been in, actually involve people not telling full truths or trying to cut me down, so of course, I will stand up for me or others that need my voice. I can’t actually think of lately where I have argued with someone. There are some things we do at work in which I don’t understand why we are doing them, but I can’t say I argue with my manager, but I rather try to gain a better understanding of why I am doing the work. Most of the time, I kind of fall flat in that regard because the reason why I do my work is convoluted and though it doesn’t make sense to me (and often times I think it’s a waste of time), it makes sense to someone else who is higher up than me.

Anyway, this lesson is kind of lost on me because I don’t argue with people. Maybe, I’m practising this good vibration method more than I realise. I am always seeking to create an environment that is good and welcoming. I am always out to treat people how I want to be treated. I just want people to be their best selves when they are around me, so to be in arguments is not something you’ll see me doing actively.

Try actively changing the vibration of arguments by applying compassion and see if it makes a difference in your life.
