encouragement – Today's Life Lessons

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: encourages us to take a look at our own way of thinking, seeing, feeling and reacting to the world we live in. Everything we see is a reflection of our own perception and how we relate to our environment, relationships and life challenges. When we view life through the lens of love, it reflects only the most benevolent perspective for us to encounter. When we see it through the eyes of fear, doubt or worry, we see only those things that support our belief and invite us to participate in a constant state of reaction to things we cannot change outside of ourselves.

Overall, our personal performance will indicate if we are in alignment with our best interests, best behaviour and attitude towards self and others, or out of alignment with conflict, confusion and frustration. It is challenging to accept when we are off course, but essential to our growth if we are going to take responsibility for correcting our misalignment.

PERCEPTION= the filter we use to view our world through
PERSPECTIVE= the way we measure the distance between ourselves and others
PERFORMANCE= the expression of those beliefs of faith or fears through our actions

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.
