The root cause of all upsets 
Every time that we get upset, get mad, or get our feelings hurt, it ultimately comes from believing that we are not enough.
The triggering event reminds us that we do not believe that we are enough and then we get upset – with someone or something rather than realizing that our “I’m not enough” button just got pushed.
Then we blame. “It is their fault that I feel this way!”
Blaming is not part of the recipe for personal growth or for happiness.
This is also useful to remember when we get blamed or when someone shares their upset with us. That other person’s insecurities got triggered. He or she believed the lie about not being enough and then aimed the upset at us.
Just because they are upset doesn’t mean that we must get upset too. Just because they are upset doesn’t mean we have to believe what they say.
Much Love,
Jonathan
