Ever since I came up to this quote, a few months ago, I have been putting it into practice in my own life. After making sure it works I felt I had to share it with you. Many times we encounter difficult situations in our lives with those around us and when they behave out of character we usually feel we are at fault and we must of done something to trigger the situation giving us a sense of awkwardness and insecurity. Today every time I experience a situation were someone is behaving irrational, mean, weird, etc…I say to myself ” NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEYS”. This not only allows me to separate myself from the feeling the situation generates but it allows me to have a broader perspective of the other person’s behavior with compassion and empathy and not feeling offended or insulted. When people are hurtful to others it’s because they are hurting inside and the way to express it is towards someone else, in a subconscious level they want to share their pain.
