June 7 — 13
In our work and our own personal lives, we encounter power
struggles, ego clashes, and emotional & intellectual conflict. One of the reasons for that is our misconception of ownership.
We may think we own and possess things like cars, CDs, stocks and bonds. This thinking overflows into our jobs and responsibilities and oftentimes our relationships. How many of us have uttered the words YOU BELONG TO ME or I'M YOURS?
The wisdom of the sages teaches that we own nothing. Anything that can be lost tomorrow doesn't actually belong to us. In fact, it's the concept of ownership that creates most of the fear, war, and conflict in the world.
We're afraid to lose, afraid to lose control, and we set our mentality to acquire what we have already decided is ours in our minds. So what would be a better way to relate that will remove the fear in our lives?
Be a manager.
Remember that everything comes to us to manage and is there for us to use in a given time frame. The consciousness of manager releases us from a false sense of control and dictatorship. When we begin to act as managers of everything that we receive, including our bodies, we can better lead and empower others on personal and global levels.
This week, act in such a manner. It is a much more proactive way of relating to the things which we are privileged to receive in life.
All the best,
Yehuda
