5 Positive Ways to Overcome Betrayal in Life and Business
Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations. Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others.
These are the five ways to overcome betrayal in life and business;
1. Confront your betrayer
Everyone has a particular point of view. What seems like a clear betrayal to one person might be seen as a skewed perspective to another. That’s why it's incredibly important to confront the other person involved. How does the individual perceive his or her true intentions?
Give the person a chance to explain. It’s not worth keeping frustration balled up inside if there's a chance the “betrayal” might be a misunderstanding that got out of hand. Holding on to resentment and negative energies toward one person inevitably will spill over into the other relationships in your life professional and personal.
2. Do not go to a lower-floor vibration
The way I see it, we’re all on different floors of a building. Those who continuously work toward being their best selves are on a higher floor and posses higher-floor vibration. Those who focus on what isn’t working and wallow in unhappy situations exist on lower floors with a lower-floor vibration.
I've worked hard for my higher-floor vibration, and I work even harder to maintain it. I wouldn't expose those who have betrayed me nor wish them ill will. Such actions simply come from a mindset that belongs on a lower-floor vibration.
3. Put your energy into bringing yourself closer to where you want to be
I believe we awake each morning with a certain supply of energy watts for the day. To put a number to it, let’s say we each get 100 watts. Where will you spend yours? Do you want to put your energy into settling scores, or would you rather create the life and business you truly desire?
Each watt spent on negative thoughts or actions toward people who betrayed me would take watts away from the positive work I really want to do. I choose to direct my energy in ways that make my life more fulfilling. I refuse to give a single watt more energy to the negative events in my past. You can do the same.
4. What goes around comes around
Choose to take actions aligned with your values and purpose. Be true to your highest self and make decisions from there always. Just because others choose to be dishonest or do hurtful things, it does not give you a reason to do the same.
Put good karma out into the world. Give the energy you want to receive. A betrayer's actions are part of his or her karma, and all that negativity will catch up in time.
