All are sent to us for us, sometimes painful but they are divinely disguised to help in
teaching us how to stretch our spiritual muscles, beyond our limitations.
Perhaps they are sent to exercise our patience, our tolerance level, our love, or maybe it is
for us to make adjustments in our communication skills.
When we understand this, we learn a new way or attitude that will assist us in getting the
correct message across.
THE LANGUAGE GAME
Sometimes we may communicate with others avoiding saying what we really mean, using
language in such a way to get what we want. This can only work up to a point.
How many times have we told others and ourselves this phrase: “In other words” or “I
know what I mean.” This cheats us all because it is in a way dishonest, we must not be
afraid to say what we mean, and others must have the same privilage.
This may seem a little far-fetched but it can cause so much confusion in the camp. We must
honour each other by saying what we mean in a direct, adult fashion, in kindness, with tact,
care and love, without going around in circles or beating around the bush.
We do not have to understand or judge others if the decisions they make do not meet our
expectations, only respect their choice, it is after all their journey in the flow of life.
THE POWER GAME
No one has the power to give us our emotions, it is only how we process what is going on
externally that is the cause of what we allow to be going on internally.
The only thing that needs to shift when there is disharmony is our perspective.
No one in his or her right mind is deliberately setting out to hurt, upset or dominate another.
This behavior may be projected (unconsciously) from a person, when they think that they
are threatened or afraid in some way.
THE POOR ME GAME
When we choose this game we become trapped in a place that does not benefit anyone
especially ourselves.
This is not a heartless statement, unfortunately or fortunately, depending on our
perspective, we all experience dark tunnels.
Surely, there must be a greater purpose for these experiences, otherwise they would not be
there.
Lets think about this for a moment, is there not a gift in all that comes our way, a spiritual
treasure?
When we are willing, we can find the strength, and the ability to travel through each
experience.
Ultimately seeing the light at the end of every tunnel.
Then again we can choose to wallow, to our hearts content, if we believe it will get us
anywhere. Personally after many years of playing this game, it finally hit home that this just
doesn’t flow too well in the river of life.
THE FAULT GAME
Finding fault in others or in life situations is a game that can keep us from the revelations
about ourselves.
