A CONSCIOUS LIVING PRACTICE FOR TODAY

Find yourself a quiet place and time, and think on this: I am different because _____.

Are you a victim or a volunteer? Much of the pain you experience is due not to the actions of others but to how you see the world.

WINDOWS OF UNFAIRNESS

Think back to our discussion of ten-second windows, those moments when powerful shifts occur in our lives. Some of the most important windows are those in which we are in the presence of a particular feeling. For example, you may be feeling anger, or you may be in the presence of someone who’s angry.

Much anger is triggered by an instance of unfairness. Your boss comes in at quitting time and says, “Hey, don’t leave. I’ve got something important I need you to do.” It may be perfectly reasonable, yet at the same time perfectly unfair. And then a second problem occurs. Because there is often a power imbalance between people (between you and your boss, for example), you may be afraid to tell the person about your anger. So you stew in it and go home with a backache or a headache.
