Inviting In Misery

I’ve come to believe we invite more into our lives than we’re willing to admit — the good and the bad.

But when something unwelcome shows up, we’re quick to blame circumstances. But what if, without even realizing it, we’ve been the ones putting out the welcome mat?

Now I can’t prove this in a scientific way, but I’ve seen it in my own life over and over. Patterns of disappointment, frustrations that keep repeating — they don’t just wander in by chance. They show up like they’ve got an RSVP invitation.

One of the biggest clues is how people treat us. If you find yourself being treated poorly again and again, it’s probably not because people are secretly conspiring against you. It might be that you’re carrying around an invisible sign that says, “This is how to treat me.”

In other words, we often invite what we claim is uninvited. We send out signals — mostly without knowing it — that teach people how to respond to us.

So, if you’re tired of being treated a certain way by lots of people, maybe check in with yourself before lashing out at them. Reflect on this question: “What am I doing that’s magnetizing this muck?”

I’ll be honest with you— this is still very much a work in progress for me. But I’ve learned that when you open yourself up to some real self-inspection, you begin to send out different invitations. And that’s when you start getting results that feel a whole lot more inviting.

All the best,

John
