See The Positive - Create Better Relationships

Ever noticed how your own thoughts create your experiences? No! Then it is time that you did! Take a look at how your own perception or rather misperception causes problems within a relationship.

How many of you live with your partner and can not stand them? Everything it seems is just plain irritating! They don't listen to you, they don't talk nicely to you, they don't want to do things with you and son on. You in return despise their very being and find them to be nothing but a thorn in your side! Does this sound familiar or at least hit a few notes within you?

Do you wish you could have some of that old spark back? Do you wish you could get along and enjoy each other like you once did? If the answer to this is no then read no further, your time has passed and you need to move on. If the answer is yes, then you need to take a good long hard look at yourself! Yes that is right! You are responsible for this. You and the way you are perceiving the situation. This person is merely "reflecting" the thoughts and attitudes that you habour and therefore manifest.

You are responsible because you are only seeing the negative things this person does or supposedly does. OK be aware of them as we all do something negative from time to time but do NOT FOCUS on them. Instead let them pass and find the smallest positive about this person and focus on that instead. Keep doing this each time they supposedly do something that irritates you and pretty soon these negatives will cease to register almost.

See this person in your mind as often as possible as the positive person you would like them to be. This will help as you will begin to find it easier to see the positives in them. This will perpetuate into you viewing them more happily and them returning the favour. Try it, see if I am wrong!

You see what ever you have going on with in you will reflect back to you from the outside world and others, it becomes a mirror. Make your inner world peaceful, calm, positive and it will be reflected in the outside world experiences as we create our outer world from our inner world. This person that you are having so much trouble with is indeed reflecting your own inner troubles to certain degree, so, see what it is about them that is irritating you and see if it is not you that is suffering from this! I bet you will be surprised!

This takes courage to do, nobody likes to be the one who is wrong. Know that there is no wrong here, only ignorance. Ignorance can be overcome by looking at it, the problem face on and realising that it is only a misperception of mind, nothing more and is therefore correctable. So make the corrections and see if your relationships do not improve, I bet they will.

This type of inner reflection and change of perspective or perception is one of the most powerful things you can do towards your spiritual and healing goals as it will begin to transform your world. It lightens the load and makes things that once seemed ever so important very un-important in the scheme of things. We are all guilty of sweating the small stuff sometimes and getting caught up in trying to hold onto permanence that will never be.

People change as well and if we are willing to flow with change and maintain a positive perspective of others no matter what, then there will be only positive outcomes. This is not always easy and nothing worth having ever is it would seem so persistence and forgiveness is a matter of priority. If at first you fail, press on and do not give up. You relationship with this person and with people in general is worth it.

But if like I stated at the beginning, you have gone past the point of no return, then move on amicably and burn no bridges. Be aware also that any lessons not learn't will be repeated in future relationships until they are learned! Be watchful of yourself and future situations.

Understanding that we create all we experience including how well our relationships go, is a very empowering achievement as when are then able to manifest what we want, provided it is of heartfelt motivation, instead of blundering our way through life. We can set up a positive perspective/perception within ourselves and create that through compassion, forgiveness and persistence. We come to understand that the people and events that we interact with are a reflection of our own inner world and that these point the way for us as far as what needs attending to and what is good. With this understanding we see that relationships are as much about how well we are inside as much as how well we treat the other and how they respond.

Calm mindfulness and observation of our own perceptions is what leads us to a deeper understanding of relationships with others and how to make them work in a more positive light. Go meditate my friends!

Namaste.

Warm Regards,
