"It's something you just have to live with"
A veteran of World War II shared this beloof with his son after he returned from Viet Nam and was struggling with re-entry into normal life. After his father returned from the war, he suffered from chronic and untreated "shell shock" becoming alcoholic and abusive. In the movie "Patton", there is a famous and disturbing scene where a GI is dressed down and screamed at by Patton because he is crying and saying he can't go back into combat. Patton yells at him, "you're a girl, you are making me sick, you're a coward" and other completely degrading judgments until the GI is dragged sobbing from the room by his superiors.
How many of us heard some variation of "You just have to learn to live with it" when we were young and vulnerable. Perhaps our father said it when our mother was chronically late. Perhaps our mother's said it when our father came home drunk. Maybe a school counselor said it about a class we hated. Maybe a minister, priest, rabbi, or other religious leader said it about the abuse we were enduring in our family.
Well, it's a lie! We don't just have to learn to live with anything. We have power, we have choice, and we have plentiful resources. We don't have to live with a boss that sexually harasses us. We can intervene with a family member that causes us pain or anger by abusing drugs, or creating chaos. We can protect our children from teachers that shame them. We can correct people who judge us, or move away from them to form relationships with those who love and support us.
Here's a suggestion for a new belief: "As my life unfolds naturally, I interact with it in new and healthy ways". Try saying it five times every morning when you wake up, and five times each night before you fall asleep. Dropping an old beloof and using a new belief creates miracles!
Let me know if this beloof has been operating in your life, and how you changed it into a new belief.
