How to Dissolve Challenges
181
Such behaviour is often caused by dissatisfaction with our own low level of energy, freedom and sovereignty. Everyone with more energy and independence inadvertently reminds us of our weakness, - and also of our unwillingness to raise more energy on our own.
Showing off this kind of 'strength' makes everyone suffer.
To solve this problem we simply have to make the
effort to become what we want others to perceive in us. How to neutralize: Change what you are dissatisfied with, - or let it go, - or come to like it, - or build a better version; - but never whine about it.
Give up obstructive attitudes and allow others to unfold vitality and capabilities in their very own fashion. This effectively neutralizes this challenge.
Gloating Gloating means getting pleasure out of the misfortune of others. Gloating always signals poverty of imagination, - and unwillingness to invest positive energy into creating happiness - our own and other's.
Yet laughing at the misfortune of others, or ridiculing them makes us target of the same derision in our future, when it upsets us to a similar degree.
How to neutralize: Never create happiness at the expense of others. Simply reorient towards a more positive attitude.
