One of The Four Agreements is that “Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering,” And, today the Universe is asking us all to consciously stop taking things personally, which will ultimately limit the drama we experience in our lives. Taking things personally is emotionally draining. And when you take things personally, you end up giving some people more power over you than they should ever be allowed to have. Not taking things personally however, gives you more control over how you respond, over your emotions and your energy level. Not taking things personally brings with it a state of calm, no outside influence can take away. Today, set your intentions to consciously stop taking things personally. Remember, other people's reactions to you has nothing to do with you but everything to do with them. You know your truth. Today, stop giving away your power. Don’t fall into the downward spiral of the victim trap. Instead, look for the lessons in every situation and love yourself no matter what. Today, stop looking for outside validation and live a life totally on your own terms. Today, reclaim your power and stop taking things personally.

Just for today, I choose to feel good about myself no matter what other people say, do or think. I recognize that I am not a victim of my thoughts but a master of my mind. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to react and what I choose to believe about myself. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
