I realized this evening that what “they” say is true.  It really does not matter what others think.  I was able to embrace this philosophy this evening and be myself. It felt good.  

We had a group of people join us for an evening at The Mandarin – a local Chinese Buffet. It wa a “send off meal together”.  Half were my family and the other 1/2 friends.  It was wonderful to have such positivity surrounding me.  Please understand that I don’t tend to feel a lot of positivity whenever I’m with most of my family members.  Other than my practice-wedding and my wedding party to Walter, I’ve not mixed family and friends until this evening.  

This evening was nice.  It was nice to not worry about how anyone perceived me…I was just me. When one person said something, with what I heard as a slight twist in their tone, I chose to just take it at face value and not put my own twist on it – reading too much into it.  I also chose to recognize that it really does not matter what they say, it is what I feel which matters, it is what I know to be true within me that matters. Then, when I received a compliment from another, I was grateful that who and what I strive to be is materializing and others see it.  It’s not that what they said mattered – it’s that it just matches up with what I know as my truth.  

It all gets back to the lesson one of the presenters in The Master Key shared.  When her young son approached his teacher and shared that one of the other kids had called him a “poopoo face” (or some such name) the teacher asked him whether he was one? Was he a poopoo face? To which he answered no. So she asked him whether it mattered what the other young man had called him.  

This young boy was taught a valuable lesson.  This lesson, of not putting stock in what someone else says.  If you are in agreement with them though, I can’t imagine why we can’t embrace the feeling of recognition one receives.  I feel Walter, Gregory and I are living an inspired journey – we are doing what many people dream about.  And we want to help others to do the same. Share and inspire. Anyone saying anything else about what we are doing…well, it’s not true – so why put any stock in it?   It’s not my truth, so let it go.  

I feel like I’m on the verge of a personal internal shift.  I allow it to do as it wishes….I’m just here for the ride! 

Thanks for sharing!
