Listen for intention

When people speak to me, I listen for intention. How does this person want me to view them? How are they behaving? They will tell me how they want me to perceive them. Their words tell me what they want our relationship to be or what it will become.

People create unhealthy situations by choice. People who show up as 100% for themselves and others are people who are balanced and neutral. They are not heavily opinionated because they are at peace within themselves. They don’t make assumptions.

They add in a productive, positive way to relationships whether they are friendships, acquaintances or in a partnership or marriage. They are not dependent on others for validation or to fulfill voids.

I work in a city. I meet a lot of people, so many personalities. Here we are bombarded by people, sights and sounds. When people are friendly and nice, I view them as friendly and nice. When people are not kind, they are not kind. It’s not that hard, how they show up is who they are. Their words and actions tell me and show me how I should accept them.

Our society has shifted to become a place where there is a lot of anger. People want to impose their thoughts and beliefs onto others. If others do not feel the same way or think the same way as they do, they get angry. They promote anger, name calling and bitterness towards others as a result. Because they are overwhelmed by their thinking (ego based), they will lash out and inflict punishment on others when their ego is threatened. They are right, everyone else is wrong.

They lash out and show up to project onto people they barely know. They create negativity for people who haven’t done anything to them. They feel entitled to do that.

Then, they may want to be accepted and viewed in a positive way by the people they lash out upon. Their sense of entitlement is that strong. The current state among many people is, a state of confusion.

Heart, mind, body and soul are connected. If they are not in balance, their thinking will be out of balance. When people are projecting outside of their center, when they have a desire to judge or control, they have an unhealthy relationship within themself and as a result, with others.

Take nothing personal, listen and understand that people are often unaware of how their behavior looks and sounds. Sometimes peoples words reflect their past experiences and traumas.

Words and sound cause universal vibration. They are meaningful and that is why we should be mindful of the words we choose. You are sending messages about yourself, your experiences, your worldview and your expectations with your words.

We can set boundaries with unhealthy people, when need be, to avoid enabling them. People show up as who they are. Learn to walk away, close the door right away to unhealthy speech. If people want to be in your life, they will make the correct efforts. We can only choose how we show up.

Kindness is a vibration, love is a vibration, goodness is a vibration, decency is a vibration. When you give these out you will bring them back to you.

Close the door to anything that you do not wish to have in your life. You can acknowledge negativity and dysfunction without getting pulled into it. Use your energy to put good back into the world.

People who have negative outlooks live in a different world, and it’s just a perspective away.  Anyone can change the way they think, it’s a choice. We choose how to create good outcomes.  Choosing to extend love and healthy thoughts and energy to others invites miracles into your life.
