...be responsible for the energy you bring to this space....

...a beautiful friend of mine gave me this quote today...

...she said Oprah used it in her final show (which i am yet to see)...

...and said it was one of the most valuable lessons she had learned in her 25 years on tv...

...its another one of those simple yet 'ah ha' sayings that when you think about it is an amazing tool in self awareness...

...be responsible...for the 'energy' YOU bring to this place...

...where ever we are...whomever we are with...

... its important to be accountable for the things we say and the way we behave...

...we cant take on board how people react to what we say or do...

...we cant feel guilty if people take things personally...

...BUT we CAN own the way we behave and the mood we bring to our interactions with others...

...for eg... when i go to counsel the kids... if i am having a rough day...it would be so cruel and selfish of me to take that energy into that room with them...

...its so important to be aware of others feelings and often how we act...our non verbal communication says SO much more than the words we speak...

...we need to be mindful of how we feel and behave affects those around us...

...we cant be accountable for others and how they act...

...but we surely can take responsibility for the energy we bring to each interaction with others...
