Not for Everyone

Today I had a reminder that we are NOT for everyone. No matter how nice, generous, and loving we are, there will always be people we won't click with. This small lesson is an easy one to say, "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I already know this."

Yet when we get hurt because we feel rejected, dismissed, or overlooked, we easily forget this simple fact and take it personally. Again, we're never going to make everyone happy and like us. No matter what we do.

The good news is we can counteract the pain by practicing detaching from needing other people's approval. And this is definitely a practice since we're constantly using social media as a way to feel loved, validated, and seen.

Another way to undo the effects of rejection is to take a piece of wisdom from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. From the second Agreement, "Don't Take Anything Personally," we can free ourselves from the heartache of others' actions and reactions. Of course, this is easier said than done. In the moment, we can be filled with our own emotions that can take over if we let them. Yet if we can become the "observer or witness" instead of the "victim," then we stand a better chance of letting other people's baggage stay on their side.

Another way to look at it is Re-Membering we're all Vibrational Beings. This sometimes means our frequency and their frequency are not a match. And that simple awareness allows us to let go with love.

As we dive into knowing ourselves deeper, the more we clean up our side of the street, the more happy and free we become.

Let's Re-Member we're not for everyone, and that's completely okay.

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
