The greatest gift you can give to others is to show them their worth, not in terms of money but in terms of acceptance—SL Taylor
Take the Anger Quiz
When it comes to manifesting your desires the law of allowing seems to hold most people away from realizing their dreams. It’s not until you’re willing literally to change your belief system to let go of your anger and resistance, that you can master the law of allowing. And begin realizing just what the universe has in store for you.
There are two parts to the law of allowing. The first part says that you must be open and willing to allow good things to come into your life. The second part says that you must be able to allow others to have, do, or be anything they choose…period. No, matter what they choose.
The problem is that the vast majority of people simply cannot allow others. It’s evident all around us. The shootings at Fort Hood, the war on drugs, the opposition to gay marriage, anti abortion rallies, domestic violence, murder, robbery, rape, incest, torture, you name any horror imaginable and it all comes from not allowing others.
Anger and fear play a huge role in not being able to allow. Most people fear things they don’t understand therefore they become angry and resist them. By resisting, they refuse to let go and allow others. But for any of you who may be Star Trek Next Generation fans as the Borg said, “Resistance is futile.” The more you resist the choices that others make the more you resist yourself.
You Cannot Change the World
The truth that most people miss is that you cannot change the world as a whole. Nor should you even try. But you can change the tiny molecule of the world that you occupy by letting go of your fear and anger therefore changing yourself.
Once you begin to realize that you are your world and only you are responsible (yes there’s that horrible word) for your very life, that should change just how you perceive things. You can stop resisting the choices that others make. And in the process begin allowing yourself and everyone else to have, do, or be anything they choose.
When you believe without a doubt that their choices simply will not impact your world in any way you’ll see just how easy it is to allow others to take responsibility for their own choices as well.
There is a huge relief in not taking on responsibility that isn’t yours. Can you imagine just how easy life would be for most people if they didn’t take on unnecessary added responsibility?
Imagine only focusing your attention on the things that directly affect your life and make you happy, instead of all the things you can find that are wrong. Allow others to focus on those things if they choose.
Now this doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to helping those in need. If you are coming from a place of pure allowing, then helping others will make you happy. Therefore, you’re only focusing your attention directly on the things that make you happy.
5 Simple Questions
Every time you find yourself feeling anger even to the point of hatred about the choices someone else is making, before you speak, before you act, before you do anything, focus your attention on your feelings about the issue, and take the anger quiz by asking yourself these 5 simple questions.
1. Can I simply accept that they choose something different than I do? (Yes or No is an appropriate answer)
2. Can I accept that their choice(s) will not have any affect on my life as a whole or the choices I choose to make? (Yes or No is appropriate)
3. Can I allow them their choices? (Yes or No is appropriate)
4. Can I let go of the anger and emotional attachment I have to their choices? (Again Yes or No is appropriate)
If you find yourself answering “no” to most of the questions above then ask yourself:
5. Would I rather be angry and take on additional responsibly that isn’t mine by continuing my emotion attachment to this issue or would I rather be free? If you can answer “free” then you’ve taken the first step to letting go of the anger and fear that causes us to resist others and even ourselves.
As you focus within, you become more conscious about your feelings and the choices you make based on those feelings. The more conscious you are the more selective you become about what you choose. As you become more selective about the things you focus your attention on the easier it will become to answer “yes” to the above questions.
The more you begin to answer “yes” instead of “no” the more you’ll find yourself letting go of the anger, fear and resistance you feel to the choices that others make. And as you continually let go you’ll soon find that rather than anger, fear and resistance you’ll feel freedom.
Freedom from the unnecessary added responsibility of holding on. Freedom to live your life as you choose and allow others to do the same. And then you’ll be on your way to allowing your life all you desire.
