Annoyance


I see a pattern emerge!  An opportunity to bring my awareness to my present being.

I found myself being annoyed this morning as I was putting the clean dishes away.

The night before there were things brought to my attention that I did not take care of that day.  I felt scolded, but I need to take ownership of the problem because I am part of this household as well!  

It happens to everyone, doesn't it?  Something comes up where you need to deal with something and you find you are avoiding it for some reason or another.  If you find you are creating more things to spend time on rather than other things, where does that leave you?  Being scolded for not doing what needs to be done immediately.

That's where conflict lives.  If not outwardly scolded, don't you feel it inside?

So, now what?

If given an opportunity, run with it, make it right and then you have closed the doubt off.  Self doubt won't have a chance!  Deal with it when it's brought to your attention, don't put it off anymore.

Own it.  Own all of it. Don't let someone else have to tell you what to do.

There's the rub.  Where are your priorities?  They are always changing, aren't they?  Then, today I choose to be positive about the opportunity brought to my attention and I will make good with the people in my life.  

How can you make good with the people in your life today?  Can you do something that will make their lives easier because you're being more participative in everyday tasks?  You don't know what that is? Uh oh, it's time for you to make a list of observations of what they do (without their knowledge).  Then do some things on the list without requiring acknowledgement.
