Everybody Hates Me and Other Toxic Judgements

Food for thought! An excerpt from Life:

“Labels, judgements, and opinions from others are also subject to scrutiny. They have nothing to do with us personally. Yet, whether we hear them once or repeatedly, we take them onto ourselves and own them as truth.

"I know we spoke about this earlier, but when we relive the haunting memories of those children taunting us on the playground, or recall something our parents said to us, or when we receive and interpret messages from the media—labels and judgements like ‘I’m stupid,’ ‘I’m ugly,’ ‘I’m fat,’ ‘I’m a loser,’ ‘No one loves me,’ ‘I’m all alone,’ ‘No one cares about me,’ ‘Everybody hates me,’ ‘I have no friends,’ ‘I’m worthless,’ etc.—become a part of our identity, who we think we are. But those labels and judgements are not our own; they are the poisons, toxins, and unequivocally tainted viewpoints of the opinionated person, or persons, doing the judging and labeling.” 

What are some labels you have held on to? Who would you be without them? 

In gratitude,

Pushing the Trigger. New Weekly Wisdom for LIFE!

Another excerpt from the book LIFE:
Grace talks about triggers ... What are some of yours?
 
“Back at the deck, I told you that your parents weren’t the real problem; your thoughts on the subject were. I realize that hit a nerve, for which I apologize. But if you were living from your soul instead of the ego, you wouldn’t be affected emotionally by what your parents did or didn’t do, or what they said or didn’t say. You see, when you live from your soul, it’s not as if the world stops doing what it did previously to trigger you; the situations in your life don’t just morph into something ‘perfect’ and wonderful. Instead, your entire perception about life changes. So, even though others may be trying to push your buttons, as far as you’re concerned, there are no more buttons to be pushed."
