The Jail Cell Door is Wide Open
I watched something interesting today. I observed a person stay really committed to her upset for over two hours. There were so many opportunities for her to leave her upset and she just kept retreating back into it.
We were in a really positive, happy, and joyful environment – a place where it was super easy to be happy. Person after person went up to her and offered love, support, and hugs. But she wouldn’t let go.
I wondered what crappy thought she was making far more important than her happiness or any of the people around her. Whatever it was, she was committed to it.
She could have left her upset at any time but she chose not to. How insane is that?
But, how many times in my life have I been that insane? Far too many.
We do not have to believe or even engage with our crappy thoughts. Doing so is insane.
Much Love,
