We live in a world operated by businesses.  We talk about being busy.  We stick our nose in other’s business.  When it comes to what is our business it can get confusing.  Multiple agendas are occurring simultaneously and it is our business to decipher what is in alignment with our agenda.  We do not have control over other people’s business. We only have control of our business.  Our business is composed of what we think, feel, and act based on our interpretation or perception of other’s business.  I know for a long time I thought for sure I could control what other people thought of me simply by showing up as to what was appealing to them.  I thought it was my business to make sure I was okay from the viewpoint of others.  It is a survival strategy that I developed at an early age.  Living under that illusion was helpful until I came across the truth that it was in fact an illusion.  Getting into recovery meant dealing with my business.  My business was facing the consequences of living under that illusion as well as others.  It meant recognizing that to maintain the illusion and squash who I was called to be from my heart meant slowly killing myself with sugar and self-hatred. God invites me daily on our dates to turn my attention to my business.  I can have all the thoughts and ideas about other people’s business but if I want to live happily and peacefully in this world the key is to redirect my attention to whom I am being while others are operating their business.  It is humbling to realize that our business is the only one to be concerned with, especially in a world that is filled with lots of loud voices expressing what they think of everyone else’s business.  The more time I spend connecting with my heart the clearer I become on how to make an impact in my business that will share a message to others.  That is where my business ends. It is not my business who receives my message or who might do something to alter their business because of my message.
