Other's effect on us

"Sometimes it seems like others have the power to negatively affect your experience, but that is not true." Abraham.

A very interesting thought.  To be so self-contained that one is impervious to the actions, words or attitudes of others.  I am quite certain that you, as caregivers, get feedback (solicited or not) on what you should be doing and how to be doing it.  It is human to think that someone's negative behavior has something to do with us personally; but, consider this:  it does not.  Most times when people are rude, it has everything to do with something about them and very little or nothing to do with us.  That does not include the times we may have actually offended someone, but - usually - their mood is their own sorting out.  So, as caregivers let us be solid in our own grounding, our own integrity, and let us remain unaffected by what seems negative from others. 

Welcome new readers.  I have learned that a dear friend from a past chapter in my life has provided this blog as a program to her women's group.  Welcome.  Social support is an integral part of one's happiness and well being, especially when one is encountering difficulties in one's life.   And, who doesn't experience difficulty in life some times?
