First Impressions/Second Chances

¡Namaskar!
Ever have a bad day and you did not want to be bothered and you acted a bit out of character, partially intentionally to avoid contact with people due to your down, agitated or upset attitude? It is natural and ok to have a day like that; you are simply going through something you are waiting to pass before you feel better. Question is, how do you receive those people going through such a time when you are not? When you are in a good mood and you receive a nasty or negative attitude does that immediately send you into a downward spiral also?
Why is that we normally react to negatives with negatives? That only increases the negative atmosphere that is being created. And, to often does the negative continue to grow; turning into ill feelings and judgments. I have friends and met people who are big on first impressions and will not let them go. They will have a notion on a person for the rest of there life based on the first impression they had. The “jerk” can be given the benefit of the doubt from a person due to his sweet gestures and the impression he/she gave the first time you met them, and the genuine generous person will not be given a chance to show his/her true nature if you met them on the wrong day. Why? When you are that person who met someone on a day that you acted a bit outside of yourself you would like a do over or a second chance. We should allow all people the same chance.
This is a battle in life. First impression v. Second chances. I am not a person who is too concerned with either. I have learned over time that we have power over ourselves and our worlds. When we welcome others into our worlds our space is similar to allowing others into your home. There is a lot about the situation that you can dictate and control. Although we cannot control people we can control our space that others are in. We can set up a mood to our liking. We can allow others to become comfortable when they come into our homes allowing them to relax and feel better just due to the fact they are comfortable where they are. When dealing with people it is not that different either. We blame others for how they act towards us and how they are around us. But, have you ever thought how you are, to make others feel that way around us. When you are a comforter others feel comfortable around you. Ever feel bad about cursing or being mean to a person you know is genuinely a nice person…why? Think about it for a second; it is due to the fact that that person has set up their space to be a certain way and when you enter their space the space they set up and control you feel the energy and it affects how you feel. We also can do the same at all time’s everyday.
Whether it be a first impression or a second chance be secure and comfortable in the space you own and people will naturally act accordingly around you. Those who cannot, and are essentially not welcome and will not be to coexist around you. First impressions, second chances begin to hold less relevance because you are comfortable in your own space (the only space that matters) and others will naturally respond to you leaving you in position to affectively respond to them.
Create your world! Own it, Love it and be comfortable in it!
¡Namaskar!
