Hi, Iʼm reading this book and wanted to share this quote with you.
"When we are upset, it's easy to blame others. The root of our feelings, however, is within us. For example, imagine yourself as a glass of water. Now, imagine past negative experiences as sediment at the bottom of your glass. Next, think of an unpleasant situation or person as a spoon. When the spoon stirs, the sediment clouds your water. It may appear that the spoon caused the water to cloud—but without sediment, the water would remain clear. Even if we remove the spoon, our sediment still remains—lying in wait for the next spoon to appear. On the other hand, if we remove our sediment, no matter what happens, no matter how a spoon stirs, our water will remain clear. Whenever I remind myself of this simple analogy, I feel relief at the knowledge that I have control over my life condition, which colors any thoughts that come into my consciousness, as well as my responses to any negativity that may arise. I know I can remove any sediment in the "water glass of my life," so to speak, by tapping into my Buddhahood." (from "Happiness Becomes You: A guide to changing your life for good" by Tina Turner)
