Without realising, I was being swept up in the drama and negativity of other’s actions.
I was allowing myself to engage, until realising this morning that this engagement was causing immense disharmony to my being.
So I need to disconnect. To once again become grounded in the present, and not allow my self to be carried away with the negative.
I have the choice. The choice to change, the choice to be better.
Many years ago, after suffering an immeasurable loss, I read the quote: when tragedy strikes your life you can choose to be one of two things – bitter or better: I choose better.
I have had to remind myself of those poignant words, and perhaps edit them slightly.
When negativity enters your life, you can choose to be one of two things – bitter or better: I choose better…
So I choose to live in the present moment, see the happiness, see the positive and revel in the good.
I will never be able to change the actions of others, yet I can change how I respond and react.
So rather than engage in bitterness, anger, and disgust, I shall embrace the quiet, the peace and the beauty of the present moment.
I choose better.
