TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: inspires us to consider all of the people we have made our life journey with, and how they have played significant roles in our personal development. Some will have been an encouragement, some would be a discouragement, but each and every one did it from a place of love and support.
We tend to think that we must keep everyone in our circle of experience happy with us in order to appreciate them being family or friends. We learn just as much from the ones that are in conflict with us as we do the ones that compliment us. At this time in our sacred journey, there is a shake up going on that will literally have all of the leaves falling off your family tree, your friends will want to walk away for reasons unknown and complete strangers will have strong opinions about you in moments that are hurtful.
The challenge is – are you willing to allow yourself to accept that you are ok with all of that by remaining calm, compassionate and understanding in the midst of all the chaos? The only one that you can truly work with is yourself. Self is the key to finding everlasting peace and self love that eventually will be exchanged with those that have also been through the test and found a new sense of independence born of unconditional love.
FAMILY= the ones you were born to love
FRIENDS= the ones you chose to love
FOES= the ones you need to love – who need your love the most.
