Your Most Difficult Relationships Are Your Teachers – Use Them!
Sometimes you encounter someone who, right from the start, presses your buttons, or rubs you up the wrong way, or just seems to get on your nerves! They are your teacher, but don’t tell them that! Who put the button's on? Who is creating the feelings of resistance towards them? It’s you, of course! So the next question is why? Look within and you will eventually find what it is within you that you are using to upset your self! Then stick this line at the top of every page in your diary, “The other person is never the problem!" Read it a hundred times a day until it finally sinks in.
But you’re right, it’s not easy to see after a lifetime of learning to believe it’s always ‘them’ that is making me feel this way! As soon as you start to see ‘the other’ as your teacher and ask your self what is the lesson I need to learn in this relationship, it changes your vision of them and that changes your attitude towards them. And that influences their attitude towards you. This is why life is the real school and the classroom is your consciousness, which is YOU! Other people are your lessons. You will have exams every day, until you pass...then you can go out and play! ~ Mike George.
