Dear Seeker,

"Events may happen to you, but you are not the event. Just as clouds are not the sky, you are not what moves through you."

Special exercise: Is this me?

Have you noticed that anytime a feeling courses through you, something in you assumes, "That's me!" You feel a flash of anger, a wave of sadness, a pang of jealousy... and because you feel it, you're convinced you must be it. But in those moments, as tough as it seems, the choice "to be or not to be" really is yours. There is no doubt you are having the feeling -- but you have the power to choose whether or not to be swept away by it. This week's exercise is to constantly ask yourself the question: Is this me? Do I really want to feel sorry for myself right now? Do I really want to burden others with my disappointment? Do I really want to worry about something I have no control over? If you can pause long enough to question your feelings in the midst of any painful moment, you will give yourself the chance to make a different choice about where they will take you!
