“Who” – is hurting…”WHO???”

Sep 2nd “Who” – is hurting…”WHO???”

On this day of your life,

Mary Ellen, I believe God wants you to know…

…that no man is hurt but by himself.

Diogenes said that, and he was right. Every person’s
experience is created internally, by him or herself. No
one outside of you can tell you what anything means,
or whether you are “hurt” or not.

If you feel hurt by something or someone, it is the result
of your decision to feel that way. This may be tough to
hear, but it is true. You can change your mind at any
moment about how something is affecting you.

This is a message that came in for me – – and the more that I think about it …just thought – – that it would be a good message for all of us?

When I stop to think about the feeling of deep – “HURT” – as …far back as I can remember – before starting school… into the the “Grade School” years there just was no “PEACE” at all times… – – someone would say something ….and for the longest time – – there was that inside – “HURT” – why did I do this …or what was the cause for this outburst of anger…toward me?? Even today…I can remember the names of some of the Grade School Kids… the ones that made a lasting impression on my brain – – that and for what …they were so offended – – “I almost felt like dying… if I would only die.. .everything in the world would be back to normal… and I would not be around to be the cause of “HURT” to others – – for them – to be so furious with me?”

When I started working… you soon learn that everything that is happening

in this world – -was not due to something that I may have said or even some action that I took – things happen – and LIFE goes on – for all of us. However; there is a time in the Life of all of us – – and this is what I had to do and early… was to develop “Broad Shoulders” – – it took time to learn to just let some thing roll off and along – – “I sometimes would say to myself… ‘Just consider the source’ – and keep my mouth shut!”

You probably heard your teachers say – “Empty Tin Cans Rattle the LOUDEST!” There are some people – – and I am guessing that they think – that if they say something to you – – and it is something that you do not like… You will let them have – all your “six-guns” blasting – – and so what do you gain…NOTHING!

So… for today… it is… “LIVE and let LIVE!” – – Saves a lot of wear and tear on the old body!
