I was inspired to listen to the messages of Neville Goddard on YouTube, and the teaching shared in 10 Things You MUST Tell Yourself Every Morning – Neville Goddard Motivation (2025-09-13 12-12-43) was exactly what I needed. It reminded me that I am here to live free from emotional baggage, and that every encounter is an opportunity to practice emotional freedom. Will I remain in the prison of my own making, or will I take another step toward mindfulness, compassion, and understanding on my way to expressing my true, authentic self?

Neville Goddard’s timeless wisdom reminds us that what we perceive in the outer world is only a reflection of the inner world we carry. In this transcription, 10 Things You MUST Tell Yourself Every Morning, you are invited to awaken to the truth that your peace, joy, and love are not dependent on what others do, but are creations of your own awareness. As you read, may these words stir within you the remembrance that every morning is a chance to realign with your divine inheritance and walk through the day in mastery of your inner state.

Transcript of the video:

The world you see, the people who appear to frustrate you, the circumstances that seem to disturb your peace, none of these have the power to upset you. This may sound impossible to your rational mind, conditioned as it has been by years of believing that your emotional state depends upon external conditions. But I tell you now with absolute certainty that every emotional response you have ever had has been self-generated, created entirely within the workshop of your own consciousness.

The moment you truly grasp this fundamental truth, you will have taken the first step toward emotional freedom that knows no bounds. Consider for a moment the nature of your experience. When you encounter what you call an annoying person, what exactly is happening, you perceive certain actions, hear certain words, witness certain behaviors, and immediately your consciousness responds with the feeling of annoyance.

But here is what you must understand. That person is not creating your annoyance. Your consciousness is creating the experience of annoyance in response to your interpretation of what you perceive.

The same person who annoys you might be found delightful by another. The same words that upset you might bring joy to someone else. The difference lies not in the person or the words, but in the consciousness that perceives them.

This is not to say that you should blame yourself for your emotional reactions. Blame is merely another form of misunderstanding. Rather, I want you to see this as the most liberating discovery you could ever make.

If you are the creator of your emotional experience, then you have the power to create different emotional experiences. If your consciousness is the source of your upset, then your consciousness can be the source of your peace. The key lies in understanding how consciousness works and learning to direct it with intention rather than allowing it to run wild with conditioned responses.

Your consciousness is like a projector, and the world you experience is like a screen upon which your consciousness projects its contents. When you understand this, you realize that changing what appears on the screen requires changing what is in the projector, not trying to alter the screen itself. Most people spend their entire lives trying to rearrange the screen, attempting to change other people, modify circumstances, and control external conditions to feel better.

This approach is not only exhausting but ultimately futile because the source of what appears on the screen remains unchanged. The technique I am about to share with you will revolutionize your approach to every challenging person and every difficult situation you encounter. It is based on the principle that you cannot be upset by anything that you do not resist, and you cannot resist anything that you completely accept and understand.

But this acceptance is not passive resignation or weak submission. It is the powerful recognition that everything you experience is good, even when you cannot immediately see how. When someone appears to be acting in a way that would normally trigger your anger, I want you to immediately remind yourself of this truth.

This person is playing their part perfectly in the grand drama of my consciousness. They are appearing in my experience exactly as they need to appear for my highest evolution. Their behavior is not about me.

It is a reflection of their own consciousness, and I am witnessing it for reasons that serve my spiritual growth. This shift in perspective is not mere positive thinking or self-deception. It is the recognition of a fundamental law of consciousness.

Every person who appears in your experience, every situation that unfolds before you, is there because your consciousness called it forth. Not because you consciously desired it, but because at some level of your being you needed this experience for your development, your understanding or your awakening to greater truths about yourself and life. Now I want you to go deeper into this understanding when you encounter someone whose behavior disturbs you instead of focusing on their actions and building a case for why they should be different.

I want you to turn your attention inward and ask yourself, what is this person reflecting back to me about my own consciousness? What aspect of myself am I seeing mirrored in their behavior? This is perhaps the most challenging yet most rewarding practice you can undertake because it requires tremendous honesty and courage to look within rather than point outward. You see, the people who upset you most are often showing you aspects of yourself that you have not yet fully integrated or accepted. The person who displays arrogance may be reflecting your own unacknowledged pride.

The individual who seems selfish might be mirroring your own unmet needs for self-care and self-consideration. The person who appears dishonest could be showing you areas where you are not being truthful with yourself. This is not to say that you are identical to these people, but rather that their presence in your experience is giving you an opportunity to examine and heal aspects of your own consciousness.

When you begin to see every challenging person as a teacher, every difficult situation as a lesson, and every upset as an opportunity for growth, your entire relationship with life transforms. You move from being a victim of circumstances to being a conscious participant in your own evolution. You shift from reactive living to responsive living.

You start being at the mercy of other people’s behavior and start recognizing your own power to choose your response to any situation. But let me be very clear about something important. This practice does not mean becoming a doormat or allowing others to treat you poorly.

Understanding that others are reflecting aspects of your consciousness does not mean you should tolerate abusive behavior or fail to establish healthy boundaries. What it means is that you can set those boundaries, take necessary actions, and protect yourself without anger, without resentment, and without emotional upset. You can be firm without being hostile, clear without being cruel, and strong without being angry.

The difference lies in your motivation and your emotional state. When you act from anger, you are acting from a place of unconscious reaction, and your actions will likely perpetuate, conflict, create more of what you don’t want. When you act from understanding and inner peace, you are acting from a place of conscious response, and your actions will be more effective, more appropriate, and more likely to create positive outcomes for everyone involved.

Let me share with you a specific technique that will help you implement this understanding in real time in the moment when someone or something is triggering your anger, the moment you feel that familiar surge of irritation beginning to rise within you. I want you to pause and take three conscious breaths. During each breath, repeat to yourself, this is perfect, this is exactly what I need to experience right now for my highest good.

I am grateful for this opportunity to practice love and understanding. Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, but Neville, this person is genuinely behaving badly.

They are being rude, inconsiderate, or even harmful. How can I be grateful for that? And I understand your resistance because I am asking you to completely reverse a lifetime of conditioning that has taught you to judge behavior as good or bad, right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable. But here is what you must understand.

Your judgment of their behavior as wrong or bad is what creates your emotional upset, not the behavior itself. The behavior simply is. Your consciousness interprets it, judges it, and responds to it emotionally based on your beliefs, expectations, and conditioned patterns.

When you can observe the behavior without judgment, you rob it of its power to disturb your peace. This does not mean you become indifferent or uncaring. It means you develop the capacity to remain centered and peaceful while still being able to respond appropriately to any situation.

You can recognize harmful behavior without becoming emotionally disturbed by it. You can take protective action without anger. You can address problems without upset.

You can maintain your boundaries without resentment. The key is to remember that other people’s behavior says nothing about you and everything about them. When someone is rude to you, they are not making a statement about your worth.

They are expressing their own inner state. When someone treats you poorly, they are not defining who you are. They are revealing who they are in that moment.

When you truly understand this, you become immune to the emotional impact of other people’s behavior because you recognize that it has nothing to do with you. Now, let us explore the deeper spiritual dimension of this teaching. From the highest perspective, every soul is on their own journey of awakening and evolution.

Some souls are expressing love, kindness, and wisdom because that is their current level of consciousness. Other souls are expressing fear, anger, and confusion because that is their current level of consciousness. Neither is right or wrong from the cosmic perspective.

Both are simply souls at different stages of their eternal journey back to the recognition of their divine nature. When you encounter someone expressing the lower aspects of human consciousness, you have a choice. You can join them in that lower vibration by responding with your own anger and upset.

Or you can maintain your higher vibration and perhaps help lift them up through your example of love and understanding. You become like a tuning fork vibrating at the frequency of peace and love and offering others the opportunity to resonate with that higher frequency. This brings us to one of the most powerful techniques for eliminating anger and upset from your life, the practice of sending love to those who disturb you.

This is not sentimental love or forced positive feelings. This is the recognition that the person who is acting out of harmony with love is actually the person who most needs love. They are not expressing their true nature.

They are expressing their pain, their fear, their confusion and their disconnection from their own divine essence. When someone is being difficult, try this. Silently say to them, I see past your behavior to the divine light within you.

I recognize that your true nature is love. Even though you may not be expressing it right now, I send you love and compassion and I hold the vision of you expressing your highest self. You will be amazed at how this practice not only keeps you from becoming upset, but often actually changes the dynamic of your interaction with that person.

I want you to understand that this is not naive optimism or spiritual bypassing. This is the recognition of what is eternally true about every human being, regardless of how they may be expressing themselves in any given moment. Every person is a divine being having a human experience and sometimes that human experience involves expressing qualities that are not aligned with their divine nature.

Your recognition of their true nature, even when they cannot see it themselves, is one of the greatest gifts you can offer both them and yourself. Let me address a common concern that arises when people first learn this teaching. You might be wondering, if I stop getting angry at injustice and wrongdoing, won’t I become passive in the face of evil? Won’t I fail to stand up for what’s right? This is an important question and the answer is that you will actually become more effective in addressing injustice, not less effective.

When you respond to injustice with anger, you are adding more negative energy to an already negative situation. When you respond to wrongdoing with upset, you are contributing to the very vibration that creates wrongdoing in the first place. But when you respond to injustice with love and understanding, while still taking appropriate action to address the situation, you are bringing healing energy to a situation that needs healing.

Think of the great spiritual teachers throughout history who created lasting positive change in the world. They did not accomplish this through anger and upset, but through love, compassion, and unwavering commitment to truth and justice. They were able to see past the surface appearances of injustice to the deeper spiritual realities.

And from that place of understanding, they were able to take inspired action that transformed not only external conditions, but the consciousness that had created those conditions. You too can learn to respond to any situation from this place of inner peace and spiritual understanding. You can address problems without becoming part of the problem.

You can work for positive change without carrying the burden of anger and resentment. You can stand up for what you believe in without tearing down those who believe differently. Now, let me share with you another powerful technique for eliminating upset from your life.

This technique involves changing your story about what is happening. Most of your emotional upset comes not from what happens to you, but from the story you tell yourself about what happens to you. Two people can experience exactly the same event and have completely different emotional responses based on the story they create about that event.

For example, imagine you are driving and someone cuts you off in traffic. If you tell yourself the story that this person is rude, inconsiderate, and disrespectful and that their behavior is a personal affront to you, you will become angry. But if you tell yourself the story that this person might be having an emergency or that they simply made a mistake or that they are struggling with their own challenges, just as you sometimes do, you will not become upset.

The external event is the same in both cases, but your emotional experience is completely different based on the story you choose to tell. This reveals something profound. You have the power to choose the story that creates your emotional experience.

You are not at the mercy of circumstances. You are the author of your own emotional life. I want you to practice telling empowering stories about every challenging situation you encounter.

When someone is rude to you, tell yourself the story that they are having a difficult day and their behavior has nothing to do with you. When someone disagrees with you, tell yourself the story that diversity of opinion makes life interesting and that you don’t need everyone to agree with you to be happy. When someone disappoints you, tell yourself the story that everyone is doing their best from their current level of consciousness and understanding.

These new stories are not lies or self-deception. They are alternative perspectives that are as valid as the upset-producing stories you used to tell, but they create peace instead of turmoil, love instead of anger, and growth instead of stagnation. You get to choose which story serves your highest good and the highest good of all concern.

As you practice these techniques, you will begin to notice something remarkable happening in your life. Not only will you stop getting upset by other people’s behavior, but other people will begin behaving differently around you. This is not magic or wishful thinking.

It is the natural result of the law of consciousness that governs all human interaction. When you no longer react with anger and upset to challenging behavior, you remove the energy that was feeding and perpetuating that behavior. Many people continue acting out because they get a reaction from others.

When you stop providing that reaction, the behavior often naturally changes. When you respond to difficulty with love and understanding, you create an atmosphere that encourages others to express their higher nature. You become like a peaceful lake that remains undisturbed regardless of what is thrown into it.

At first, the disturbances create ripples on the surface, but as the lake becomes deeper and more stable, even large disruptions create only minor temporary ripples that quickly return to stillness. Eventually, the lake becomes so deep and stable that nothing can disturb its essential peace. This is the state of consciousness I am inviting you to cultivate.

It is a state where your peace is not dependent on other people’s behavior, where your happiness is not at the mercy of external circumstances, and where your love is not conditional upon others treating you well. This is not emotional numbness or spiritual detachment. It is emotional mastery and spiritual maturity.

Let me share with you one more advanced technique that will accelerate your progress in eliminating anger and upset from your life. This technique involves the practice of radical responsibility. Radical responsibility means taking complete ownership of your emotional experience, without exception.

It means recognizing that you are not a victim of circumstances, but the creator of your experience of those circumstances. When someone upsets you, instead of focusing on what they did wrong, ask yourself, how am I creating this experience of upset? What belief or expectation of mine is being challenged? What aspect of my consciousness is being activated by this situation? This level of self-inquiry requires great courage and honesty, but it is the fastest way to free yourself from emotional reactivity. You might discover that you become upset when people don’t meet your expectations.

This reveals that your peace is dependent on controlling others, which is impossible and exhausting. You might realize that you get angry when people don’t treat you the way you treat them. This shows that your love is conditional and transactional rather than unconditional and free.

You might find that you become disturbed when people don’t see things your way. This indicates that your sense of self-worth is tied to being right rather than being loving. Each of these discoveries is a gift, because it shows you exactly where you need to grow and evolve.

Instead of seeing upset as something that happens to you, you begin to see it as information about your own consciousness that can guide your spiritual development. Every person who triggers you becomes a teacher. Every challenging situation becomes a classroom.

And every moment of potential upset becomes an opportunity for awakening. The ultimate goal of this practice is not merely to stop getting angry or upset, although that will naturally happen. The ultimate goal is to develop such a deep understanding of the nature of consciousness and such unwavering connection to your own divine nature that you become a source of healing and blessing everywhere you go.

You become someone who brings peace to conflict, love to hatred, and light to darkness simply by being who you truly are. Imagine what your life would be like if you never again lost your inner peace because of someone else’s behavior. Imagine the energy you would have available for creative expression, loving relationships, and meaningful contribution to the world if you were no longer wasting it on anger and upset.

Imagine the example you would set for others and the positive influence you would have simply by demonstrating that it is possible to remain loving and peaceful regardless of circumstance. This is not a distant idea or impossible dream. This is your birthright as a divine being having a human experience.

You have within you right now everything you need to implement these teachings and transform your emotional life. You don’t need to wait for other people to change, for circumstances to improve, or for conditions to be perfect. You can begin this practice immediately in this very moment with whatever situation is currently challenging you.

Start small and be patient with yourself as you develop these new patterns of thinking and responding. Like any skill, emotional mastery improves with practice. Each time you choose understanding over anger, love over resentment, and peace over upset, you are strengthening these new neural pathways and making it easier to choose the same response in the future.

Remember that this is not about perfection. It is about progress. There may be times when you forget these teachings and react in the old ways.

When this happens, simply observe your reaction with compassion, learn from it, and return to your practice. Every moment offers a new opportunity to choose love over fear, peace over conflict, and understanding over judgment. As you consistently apply these principles, you will discover that life becomes not only more peaceful, but also more joyful, more meaningful, and more fulfilling.

You will find that your relationships improve, your work becomes more satisfying, and your overall sense of well-being increases dramatically. Most importantly, you will discover that you have the power to remain connected to your highest self regardless of what is happening around you. This, my friends, is true freedom.

This is the liberation that comes not from changing the world, but from understanding your relationship to the world. This is the peace that surpasses all understanding, the love that knows no bounds, and the joy that is your natural state when you align with your true nature. The choice is yours in every moment.

Will you react from the small self that feels victimized by circumstances, or will you respond from the higher self that understands the deeper spiritual meaning of every experience? Will you allow other people’s unconsciousness to disturb your peace, or will you maintain your connection to the divine source of all peace? Will you add your anger to the conflicts of the world, or will you offer your love as a healing presence wherever you go? I invite you to choose love, to choose peace, to choose understanding. I invite you to become the living demonstration of these principles, not for the sake of others, but for the sake of your own happiness and spiritual fulfillment. As you do this, you will discover that you never again need to be angry or upset with anyone or anything, because you will have found the source of unshakable peace within your own consciousness.

This is your destiny, this is your potential, and this is your gift both to yourself and to the world. The time is now, the power is within you, and the choice is yours. Choose wisely, choose lovingly, and choose the path that leads to the emotional freedom that is your divine inheritance.
