[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″ id=”” class=”post-content” style=””][text_output]It has always been a mystery. Why are some people so miserable, disruptive or difficult? We have concluded that some people are good and some are just bad, so we avoid bad people and stick with the good. Our whole society is founded on the principle that people choose to be bad. If we think about it, every child really wants to be the respected prize winner who makes their family proud. Deep down, we all want to be the one that people want to emulate, but for some, that ideal is out of reach.
Unfortunately, our society is guilty of treating the symptoms and not the root cause. So…what drives negative behaviour? Why is one person disruptive in one situation and another person calm in the same situation? It is all about the heart. When thoughts enter our heart, they start to drive the way we react to circumstances. Sometimes we aren’t even aware why we are doing what we do. We become like a fish caught on a hook and need to be freed.
A man once joked with a child, “Are you sure that lady is your mother?” The child said, “Yes!” The man laughed and said, “Silly boy!” He kept at it until one day with a straight face, he told the child, “Actually, your mum had three daughters and badly wanted a son. That poor old lady living under the bridge, she is you REAL mother and she couldn’t afford to care for you. Your mother took you and got the son she wanted! THAT is your real mother!” He laughed as he walked away leaving the stunned little boy.
He didn’t want to accept it, but suddenly the child became rude to his mother. She didn’t understand why her well behaved son suddenly became uncontrollable. When she found out what happened, she cursed the man with his stupid jokes. Then she hugged her son and recounted the day of his birth and how happy she was when he was born. His heart was released! Many people around us are being dragged by thoughts that have settled in their heart. These thoughts have taken root and secretly started to influence the way they behave.
Understanding this means we won’t be so quick to judge that bully who just wants to protect his wounded heart. Or that promiscuous girl whose emotional scars have led her to conclude that she is dirty and deserves whatever comes. When we consider our own personalities, why are we the way we are? Why does that… “thing,” make me so upset? What kind of thought is now influencing MY actions? Understanding that is the first step to becoming FREE![/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][vc_raw_html]JTNDc3R5bGUlM0UlMEEuZW50cnktdGh1bWIlMjBpbWclMjAlN0IlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjBtYXgtaGVpZ2h0JTNBJTIwNDAwcHglM0IlMEElN0QlMEElMEEucG9zdC1jb250ZW50JTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwdGV4dC1hbGlnbiUzQSUyMGp1c3RpZnklM0IlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjB0ZXh0LWp1c3RpZnklM0ElMjBpbnRlci13b3JkJTNCJTBBJTdEJTBBJTNDJTJGc3R5bGUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
