Today, I may write something that you'll agree with or it may cause you to chuckle. Maybe tomorrow I'll write something that could have you feeling combative or disappointed. I could even write something that may unite us in a kindred spirit or you'll be offended enough to unfriend and/or block me on some social media.
And it could very well be vice versa, but it's all good; it's all okay. I don't need your approval anymore than you need mine. That's what it means to be authentic ... genuine ... not fake. We are what we are. In each moment, we cannot be anything less or more.
First and foremost, no one can make another do anything without their permission. It's choices we each make, even subconsciously. So, to be upset means we've allowed it, just as we allow being happy. We allow discord when we think someone is trying to take away our programming: how we feel about ourselves or our beliefs.
However, each day, and in many situations, life's lessons are doing exactly that: adding or subtracting from our programming based on facing the truth within, looking at ourselves differently, and challenging our authenticity.
