The 76th KnowComplaints Inspiration

Greetings!

I wish you a wonderful week, and I invite you to just keep talking yourself out of your stories. Those opinions and commentaries on life that are the uncontrolled habit of the complaining mind.

Let them go and be present. Life is so much simpler without them. There are better things to do with our minds than make up projections about the future and create negative opinions about the present. The practice is to keep interrupting these habits with a breath and a release, and replace them with coming back to the moment, and choosing trust. I wish you success!

Last weeks Teachings to ponder:

What if you stopped right now and took a moment to talk yourself out of your fearful fantasies? You'd be telling yourself the truth.
  
Everyone's complaining about each other so where does it start? Are we unconsciously putting out what we don't want to get back?

Sometimes when we think of being kind, our shadow looks us right in the face and says "no". You don't have to feel it to choose it.

Let go of your attachment to the timing of life, and it becomes a mystical dance where things work out way better than you could've planned!

Life never stops giving to you. It's when you decide that it has to love you in a certain way that you lose sight of all the gifts.

I don't think we ever regret letting go of our anger, and we often look back at the times we've lashed out, and wish we hadn't.

"I'm feeling kinda " De-caf " today." LOL -(RT)

Some things ARE wrong, but if we see them as skillful or unskillful instead we'll start dismantling our punishing and condemning attitudes.

Sharing the truth and explaining your difficulties isn't complaining. It turns into complaining when you decide to make things wrong.

Maintaining composure is how we create happiness. Try to stay peaceful and trusting while your complaining mind reacts with any negativity.  

Next time you get impatient, remember that whenever you allow someone to be who they are without criticism, it's a great act of compassion. 

Almost all of what we fear never happens, and when it does our ability to handle it far exceeds our expectations of ourselves. Almost all fear is a fraud.
