It's you...

I came across a quote in this book that I'm reading that says (and I'm going to make it female centred rather than male centred):

A woman will find that as she alters her thoughts towards things and other people,
things and other people will alter towards her. (James Allen)

Isn't that a powerful quote???!! It's a variation on the idea that the issue is not the issue... it's the relationship you have to the issue that is the issue. People and things aren't the issue... it's the relationship that we have towards them that is the issue... If we alter the way in which we think about things and people... well, we will transform the world... or at the very least, the way in which we interact with the world and the way in which the world interacts with us.

We have a huge amount of power... but we give it away, all the time. We get stuck into thinking that if onnly people or things would change... then our world would be fine... and we would be fine. The truth is... we are the issue... the way in which we hold the world around us is the issue... The only way we are ever going to transform ourselves and the world is... if we alter the things we say in our heads about things... people... and ourselves... most importantly with ourselves... Alter the way in which you talk to yourself and see what happens... Have compassion on yourself and see what happens...
