The Bumper car effect

I got this off our Discussion Forums and wanted to paste this as I find it really good post. Below the post you will find the link that goes to our Discussion Forums:

When you step into a bumper car at the fair it feels like no matter which way you turn
someone or something hits you when you least expect it. The problem with the bumper
cars is you never get time to find your balance or find some space to figure out the best
way to go. Here are a few ideas about what you can do when you start to feel this way:

1. Let go of any need to ‘fix’ things. Let go of any resentment, anger, guilt or
shame that has built up.
2. Let go of any expectations in regards to outcomes and other peoples behavior
3. Take a moment or a day to breath ….put aside issues for awhile focus on things
which bring you back into balance.
4. Ask for help. Sometimes we cling to things so tightly so intent on fixing them for
ourselves we don’t allow anyone to help carry the load so we can gain our balance.

Things to remember:

Everyone no matter what their life circumstance, race, religion or sexual preference was
born a Master.

Steps to happiness everyone knows

You can’t be all things to all people
You can’t do all things at once
You can’t do all things equally well
You can’t do all things better than everyone else
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s

So:
You have to find out who you are and be that
You have to decide what comes first and do that
You have to discover your strengths and use them
You have to learn not to compete with others
Being no one else is in the contest of ‘being’ you

Then:
You will have learnt to accept your own uniqueness
You will have learnt to set priorities and make decisions
You will have learnt to live with your limitations
You will have learnt to give yourself the respect that is due
And you will be a most vital mortal

Dare to believe:
That you are a wonderful unique person
That you are a once in all history event
That it’s more than a right it’s your duty to be who you are
That life is not a problem to solve but a gift to cherish
And you will be able to stay one up on what use to get you down
