Taking Something Personally is Okay

Yesterday I took something personally.It helped me to realize that this is okay to do. We can come to a realization that what we are taking personally is a part of who we have decided to be. That we are discovering this within ourselves, through this realization. It is what we do with this information that creates a negative or positive outcome. It is not wrong or shameful to take something personally. It can be beneficial when we allow this information to come to the surface to get a different focus about it. Like a cork floating to the top of a pool of water. The cork is fine. The water is fine. It is what it is and we can decide what to make of it. This very act show us a part of ourselves that is ready to be released. Mindfulness. ~ Michele Nappi
