\"Garbage\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a bit of my garbage… I have a tendency to attach to other people’s garbage.<\/p>\n

I magnetize to the parts of people that they have decided have no value and have thrown away.<\/p>\n

I can’t stand how their not responsible to these parts, and I determine someone needs to be. <\/p>\n

And now their garbage has become mine. I’ve attached to it.<\/p>\n

Except, I have my own garbage to manage. So, why do I think I have room to take on theirs? Being responsible to theirs, I can’t fully be responsible to mine.<\/p>\n

I need the emotional space.<\/p>\n

Other times with garbage, I like to think other people are responsible for the garbage in my life. I like to think I’m a victim of their littering and ignorance, their garbage creations.<\/p>\n

When I’m not being responsible to the garbage in my life, when I’m blaming it on others, this action holds me back from being the complete person I am.<\/p>\n

Taking responsibility for both the things I’ve made and the things I’ve wasted\u2014my creations and my garbage\u2014I change myself, and the world around me.<\/p>\n

In owning my complete experience, I am free to be whole in my tragedy and in my joy. I can now acknowledge both my waste and my creations without shame.<\/p>\n

In creating space for own my handiwork, both its darkness and light, I create space for others to own theirs. Magically, my garbage problem disappears.<\/p>\n
