Thoughtful Thursdays #60 – Synchronicity
I have been reading “Unexpected Miracles -The Gift of Synchronicity and How to Open It” by David Richo.
From Chapter 1:
What is synchronicity?
Synchronicity is the phenomenon of meaningful coincidence. It is a resemblance, concurrence, correspondence, or connection between something going on outside of us and something happening inside of us.
I am not criticizing the book at all. I am always enlightened by Mr. Richo’s work. But that definition seems a little complicated to me. My definition of synchronicity is when you are ready to move forward in your personal evolution, situations and events will appear with no effort on your part.
You can’t rush anything, you can only keep moving in your personal evolution and be open to the marvelous coincidences that arrive.
And be willing to move forward no matter where it leads.
Sounds good to me.
Thank you Mr. Richo for your contribution to my personal evolution.

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” ~Thomas J. Watson

Henry Miller
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or hero’s. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful or evil can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Your Tribe
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks,
but celebrate them with
glad cries of “Me, too”
be sure you cherish them.
because those weirdos are
your tribe.

Hurting Others
This is a true fact of life:
People who are hurting,
Hurt others.
They can’t help themselves.
They hurt on purpose
because they don’t know any other way.
But that does not mean you should sit there and take someones crap. Not at all. You can still care for the person and try to help but a strong boundary is needed always.
When someone is hurting, as much as they might want to stop hurting they will bite the one trying to help them. Or they might feel justified in lashing out because they are in so much emotional pain, whether it’s obvious to them or not. It’s an extreme form of resistance. And changing is hard work. In most cases even the sickest, most hurtful people have moments of clarity but cannot change. It is the same with everyone. We know we must change but can’t because we resist the exact thing we need.
In my opinion, people who deliberately hurt others, have a deep seated guilt about something, so they set up hurtful situations to be hurt back. Guilt always seeks punishment. Some behavior is as much a mystery to the offender as it is to the victim.
According to Steven Pressfield’s book the “The War of Art” resistance is ever present and we need to be aware of it all the time or it will kill us. Resistance is impersonal and out for blood in anyway possible. Resistance is the enemy of change. Resistance is the enemy of healing.
So what to do when a hurting person hurts you.
1. Feel your feelings.
2. Don’t deny what is going on.
3. Set up a strong boundary.
4. As tempting as it is: don’t hurt back.
5. Wait it out until you have some clarity.
6. Use kindness by trying to understand where they are hurting.
7. If they are open enough make suggestions for improvement.
8. Move on if necessary.
The person who is strong is the one who is willing to straighten hurtful situations out. The person who is weak is the one who withholds their willingness to straighten hurtful situations out.
Which one are you? What does it feel like to hurt on purpose? What does it feel like to be the victim? What similar experiences have you had?
Are you the strong one who is willing to work things out? Or are you the weak one who is withholding.
The choice is yours.
