Certain events and beliefs change the rules we live by. They can cause us to be bold or afraid, beaten or determined, sadder or wiser, to shrink from or rise above. The meanings we attribute to them are called “Tags”.
For example if your partner is late for dinner on a regular basis, you could conclude a couple different things:
- They don’t love, respect, or care about you enough to show up on time.
- They love, respect, and care about you so much that they want to do their best at work so they can provide for you.
The tag you choose determines your perspective, which determines your feelings, future explanations, actions and reactions toward your partner. Can you see how choosing the wrong tag could lead to a big mistake?
You can change the direction of your life and your happiness by changing how you tag your experiences. I dare you to try it for one day. Let me know how is goes by commenting below.
