Energy Update "Truth Seekers"

The Truth Seekers happiness relies on inner strength and power established through healthy boundaries, which keep personal power intact. Knowing how and where to place our power is the goal. This story is about gifts, expectations, judgments, disappointment and more! ~Enjoy? My son, lets call him Peter because that's his name. When he was 6 years old asked for an item that was $150 for Christmas. When he didn't get it from the first grandparents, then not from us, he expected, unbeknown to us, that the last stop would for certain yield this gift by Grandma #2. He had a high expectation! He opened his gift and was disappointed! He remarked, “I thought you’d get me something better.” OUCH! This however, is the perfect situation. See Grandma #2 looks for validation through gift giving, for her that's the only point of gift giving and to have you repay her with an equally nice gift. So they both have HIGH EXPECTATIONS. Can you see the law of attraction at work? Peter is showing this Grandma a mirror. Grandma #2 can choose to look in it or to reject Peter by judging him. Knowing her well, at a moment of weakness in Peter’s life she'll remind him about how he rejected her gift to hurt him back. This gives Grandma #2 the right (in her mind) to forever more judge Peter as entitled and rude. However, she is covert and said very little that day, instead attacking me with it three years later. Using it in a lose/lose situation. I asked her to stop judging me and Peter too, (that's how I held my power). Next time I'm going to laugh, I think there is even more power in this option. The major point I’d like to make using this example is this: Grandma #2 has the right to feel poorly when a child says that in her presence. That was rude, what Grandma #2 doesn’t know and can’t unfortunately understand even if shared (because she is only able to draw it back to herself) is that Peter thought when nobody else got him this item, she for certain would. It is purely that she was the last stop that day, “his last chance” that she got this response. It had nothing to do with her gift, only with his expectation. So this holiday, do your best to communicate! Also, remember let go of over thinking what you bought for others. We can’t read minds and can only feel out that we got something that made us happy to give to the other person. That’s what matters! Next week, a sweet story about a situation for which I have gratitude.
