Challenges are crossroads where we have to make changes - A.H. Almaas (Diamond Heart)

Sept 24 aft

Had a chat with my boss. She too think that the response from client is off putting. She said she was so angry that she drafted a reply but stopped herself last minute.
I did reply the mail and now client came back less 'attacking', just said that I am not so tactful as compared to earlier being not polite.
This time around my boss answered and asked point blank "what is about the mail that make him react"

Was doing the abridged book, Diamond Hearts and read this.

In our Work, each of us will encounter challenges; we will arrive at crossroads where we have to make changes. These challenges and crossroads will help us to develop. They will enable us to realise the life of truth. The more of those challenges we have, the more chances we have to realise the true perspective.
Sufi says; "If there is a misfortune, u should be grateful for it", because it gives you a chance to face choices between your self and the truth, a chance for u to follow the right course.

Diamond Heart.
If u really accept that u could lose everything, after a while, u realise that all the things u have given up do not truly exist in the way u thought.

I first lost my ambition for career advancement.
I lost my needed security for money
I reduce my need for validation from friends
I lost my need for meat
I tot I would lose myself if I lost all the above. Turns out it is not true. I am feeling much better and at ease.



I experienced a major challenge of romantic relationship for the last 1 year; a break up that was difficult to accept.
In the last few months, I have come to know myself more, to know that I had not set parameters for romantic relationships resulting in attracting of wrong partners. The wrong partners can't or won't love me. I further interpret that I was unlovable. Since I was not confident, I set even lower parameters and continue to attract the wrong partners that further affirm my wrong interpretation that I was unlovable. A vicious cycle.
I finally dissolved the lifetime challenge of Seven of Hearts and Seven of Clubs
Amen
