 Ever feel like life is kicking you square in the butt? There seems to be one person in particular that is always pushing your buttons?  Ah yes, been there, done that.  What, you might ask, is this person's objective?  If we could just figure that out then maybe we could end the continuous nagging.  Our response to this continuous negativity may require some counterintuitive thinking. We can't change this event, but we can change how we respond to it. Maybe the negativity is so bad that help from others is needed, which is off topic. Anyway, This person is making your life miserable but just think if all that they are giving out, they are getting back.  

Say you take what they say and or do, and put it  into the context of where it belongs, they are getting what they are giving. They apparently are not happy and feel the need to make others lives as unhappy as their own.  Keep in mind the phrase "You reap what you sow" and it puts things in a different light. Karma is like a boomerang, a mirror, reflecting back to you what you are as a person.  Do we smile, hold doors open for others, have a positive unwavering belief that we make our own destiny and forgive others?  All of these things lead to a life filled with endless possibilities. We must be kind to ourselves first and foremost though. The self that is the essence of our being, not the ego part of the entity we exist in.  For loving ourselves sends a message to the universe that we are worthy of all that is good. Believe, have faith, that our positive thoughts are creating our good life.  Are we worried or fearful of events?  Those are negative thoughts that will bring negative feelings which creates negative emotions which will lead to negative out comes.

 So, getting back to the thorn in your side. just know that they are creating their own reality by their negative actions. Can we control what they do? Of course not but we can control how we react to it. Staying calm in a storm requires us to be calm right down to our core. Staying in the present moment, the 'right here right now' is key to this. Right now, and now, and now, and now and now. We are standing between two walls, one to our right, one to our left. Over the left wall is the past and over the right wall is our future. So that would make the space between those walls the present moment. We close our eyes, slowly inhale through our nose and slowly exhale through our mouth. FEEL the air as it passes into our nose and out past our lips. This is it, this is all we can control. ourselves. Peace is the silence between thoughts, the pause between the breathe. Being present, knowing we will never come to this moment again should be a wake up call. Listen.....
