(Im)personal

Do not take it

personally.

It is not about you,

it was never about you.

What truly belong to you

is yours,

it always was,

it is, and

it always will be.

What does not belong to you,

is not yours,

it never was,

it is not, and

it never will be.

What people say or do

reflects their own inner self.

It only becomes a judgement of your worth,

if you make it so.

When a storm passes overhead,

you simply let it pass.

You know it does not belong to do.

Other person's

moods,

words, and

reactions

are storms

that were

brewing

long before

you arrived.

Your peace is never threatened,

unless you hand it over.

It is yours to keep

or it is your to give.

Taking things personally

comes from believing

you must control

how others think,

feel, or

treat you.

But even if you tried,

you cannot control them.

You are responsible

for managing emotions within.

You are not responsible

for managing emotions without.

The moment you stop needing

that others understand you,

then, you will be reclaiming your freedom.

Respond with clarity,

not from old wounds.

Be curious,

not defensive.

Be grounded,

not reactive.

When your heart is steady,

even harsh words lose their power.

Do not let someone else's chaos

affect the peace of your inner world.

Protect your peace.

Stay grounded.

Maintain your centre.

Walk away from battles that were never yours to fight.

Your peace,

your ground,

your centre

are yours.

They are yours

to keep,

maintain and

protect.

Never give them away.

Nothing others do is because of you.

Everything they do is because of them.

And so it is.

I believe, and so it is
