Notes to self

[laramie]

* Focus on your friends: the people who like you and support you. It's not worth your time & energy to fret over people who are unfriendly to you.

* Remember how good it feels to focus on your heart chakra and feel all that love flowing through you. The price for that good feeling is letting some of it spill over onto the unworthy.

Yes, and yes. For me, the trick is to let that love flow without ever letting myself feel either like a spendthrift for it spilling on the unworthy, or falling back into the "Well, maybe if I give them even more of my love and energy, they'll become worthy".

Yeah. Their worthiness is their job.

I'm working on remembering that loving is something I do because of who I am and who I want to be. Love doesn't need validation from the recipients; that's my ego. If my ego isn't getting validation from others I need to remember to validate myself, and maybe seek more of the company that is validating.

One version of the Pareto Principle:

1) Eighty percent of a business's profits come from twenty percent of the customers.

2) Eighty percent of the problems come from twenty percent of the customers.

3) It's not the same twenty percent.
