Remember, its NOT you, its them!!!

This is an idea that I need to remind myself of over and over.  

I am not sure if it is a cultural thing or if it stems from being raised Catholic, but in many situations, and especially in a relationship type situation, when someone is acting badly or lashing out I tend to believe it is my fault?!?

and it usually is NOT!!

It is SO important for us all to remember that people's reactions and behaviors stem more from their own personal experiences and beliefs than from anything you have done!! PLEASE girls!! know this to be true, 

because this is a very important lesson.

So you can either listen to the Dalai Lama or a minion, but don't let other people's beliefs, behaviors, comments or internal stories bring you down or in anyway make you think any less of yourself!!

love, mom
