I've read enough self-help books to fill an entire psychological library. I've realized recently that it was divorce that started the whole self-help revolution in my life. Guess I must have thought something was wrong with me for failing at marriage.
That's normal, right?
Recently, I've discovered one of the most powerful concepts that I've ever read. One that was exemplified this weekend with my man in one beautiful statement:
"You can be mad at me if you want... but I still love you."
Funny that there would be such strength in allowing me to feel however I wanted to feel but loving me through it anyway.
Feelings are neither good or bad. They simply are. Some even say they're nothing more than emotional energy passing through. Feelings may prompt action but action should be taken with a clearer mind. It is my job to sit with the feeling or thought, stay detached from it, and allow it to pass through me.
Even better when someone else allows it too.
Do you find it difficult to feel a feeling, think a thought and simply observe it without action?
What is the most powerful statement that you've read or heard recently?
