To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; the biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are. We have learned to live our life trying to satisfy other people’s demands. We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.
When you will become immune to the opinions and actions of others, you will stop exposing yourself to needless suffering.
It is not important to me what you think about, and I don’t take what you think or say personally. I know what I am. I don’t have the need to be accepted. Others are going to have their own opinion according to their belief system, so nothing they think about me is really about me, but it is about them.
Even the opinions you have about yourself are not necessarily true; therefore, you don’t need to take whatever you hear in your own mind personally.
There may be times when you have ideas that don’t originate in your mind, but you are perceiving them with your mind. We have a choice whether or not to believe the voices we hear within our own minds.
When you make it a strong habit not to take anything personally, you avoid many aspects in your life. Your anger, jealousy, and envy will disappear, and even your sadness will simply disappear.
We also make assumptions about ourselves, and this creates a lot of inner conflict.
Being impeccable is not going against yourself. You take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.
Sin begins with rejection of yourself. Self-rejection is the biggest sin that you can commit. If I love myself I will express that love in my interactions with others
