2. Take nothing personally

Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.  When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Whatever people say we don't have to believe it.  Personal importance is selfish and thinking everything is about you.  People don't know what is in your world.  Don't try to impose that on them.  Whatever people say is because of their own programming.  Don't take their poison.

"It is not important to me what you think about me, and I don't take what you think personally." (p.50)  I know who I am and I don't have the need to be accepted. (p.51)

Whatever people think or feel is their problem, how they see the world.  It is their business.

What you think of me is none of my business.

How you see "the movie" is according to the agreements you have made with life.  It is no one's truth but yours. (p.52) 

If you get mad at me I know you are dealing with yourself.  I am just an excuse for you.  You get made because you are afraid because you are dealing with fear.

Be full of love and you will feel good.  Love yourself and you will love everything around you.  You will be happy with the movie you are producing.  Like the way you are.  Be content with you, happy with your life.  You will be making love to everything.

Whatever people do, feel, think, or say, don't take it personally.  You don't need anyone to tell you, you are wonderful.

Even the opinions you have about yourself are not necessarily true.  Don't even take what you say about yourself personally.  The mind can talk to itself.  Beware of too many voices in your mind.  One part wants one thing while another part of your mind wants another.  Uncover all your agreements to make order of the chaos (mitote).

Taking things personally sets you up to suffer.  Humans are addicted to suffering and support one another in this addiction.  People who need to be suffering draw abuse from others. (p.57)

Everyone lies to themselves and others.  How can you expect them to tell you the truth when they lie to themselves?

Trust yourself and choose to believe or not believe what people tell you.  

See others as they really are and don't take their words, feelings or actions personally.  Even if they lie to you, that's OK.  They lie because they are afraid you will discover they are not perfect.  Listen to their actions or you are lying to yourself.  (p.58)

Telling yourself the truth may hurt but you do not have to be attached to the pain.  Healing is on the way.  Time. 

If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you.  Trust yourself more than others.  Trust yourself to make right choices.

The point about determining to choose what to believe is so important. I think one of the important elements of progressing in life is to move from your beliefs just happening to you to deciding your beliefs. This doesn’t mean you invent reality, but that you take responsibility, so when some unexpected or bad consequence comes, you can learn, rather than feeling like a victim.
