“I have to” is a disempowering phrase. It suggests that you don’t have a choice.
Replace “I have to” with the more empowering alternative “I choose to,” and notice the difference in how you feel.
Choice: How Do You React?
We should ask ourselves, do we react to situations in a positive or negative manner? The way we react depends greatly on our mental attitude, which, in turn, is directed by our thoughts. Linking our thoughts to the problems that surround us brings unlimited tension and worry. By linking them to the subtle and powerful vibrations of the unlimited source of peace, tranquility, and knowledge, God the Supreme, we automatically have a constant source of good uplifting vibrations that can settle our troubled minds. He is the Father of all souls, the one who is there to give help at any time. In a time where our thoughts wander with little or no direction, where we find it difficult to talk or relate to people, it is worth remembering that God, who understands us, is only a thought away.
Another Choice: Can You Rise Above the Expectation of Praise from Others?
Sometimes, we get offended or ill almost on purpose in order to receive special treatment. Out of a lack of self-esteem and insecurity, we depend on the appreciation and affection of the other for them to value us, praise us, and always speak kindly to us. Even though they have given us many signs of appreciation if for a few days they give us none, our inner world or our self-esteem collapses. We become dependent on what others do, or don’t do, in relation to us, whether or not they nourish our self-esteem, and then what happens? We are always waiting for the other to give us something when in reality, we can give it to ourselves.
Spirituality makes us experience our internal treasures of bliss, happiness, love, and power. It makes us aware that we are givers, emitters, and radiators of these qualities rather than takers. This consciousness helps us rise up above the above-discussed dependencies and remain seated, stable on our throne of self-respect.
