Two sources of inspiration for me this week because I am a person who cares WAY too much about what other people think. I hate being that person. I used to think it made me more compassionate and people enjoyed that I cared so much but definitely wrong about that. It's annoying. I annoy myself with it lately.

Love this!! So true!

To be perfectly clear, I'm not UNHAPPY, I have unhappy moments when I'm engulfed in why people do things and how I feel about it when they couldn't care less and not even because they are bad people, probably only because they are emotionally stable people. :) 

Enter quote from a Facebook friend yesterday:

"Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." -Don Miguel Ruiz

She went on to say - 

"I have a silent statement I make when I experience reactionary stress: "It's not me, it's them"... It helps me to identify that I am not so powerful as to cause or be the reason for someone else's behavior.... I mean, I am great, but I am not THAT great!." 

So true - I love that I think that everyone else is considering exactly what I will think and feel when they choose thier actions - HELLO! No, not true. 

Anyways - I love documenting what Oprah (I talk about her like I may know her personally, don't be alarmed) would call an AHA moment! So on those days when I'm SO concerned with why you were turned slightly to the right while talking and how that meant that you thought I was an awful person, I can reference these lovely gems of truth.

On a side note - super cute outfit today with new jeans that are probably the best jeans I've ever had, new purse, ironed (never happens) shirt and then I turned to say bye to JM and half of my orange juice adorned my lovely outfit. So like any rational person would do - I hosed myself down and blow dried, cute outfit SAVED! 

Jennifer = 1 / Orange Juice = 0

Have a lovely Friday, I'm OUTTT!
