InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self.
We only have one "job" on this earth at this time and that is to add weight to the scale on the side of harmony, love, compassion, helpfulness, gratitude, etc. The scales are in danger of tipping on the side of negativity, hatred, anger, greed, apathy, etc. and we must add our energy to the side of Light and Love. That is our role. That is why we are here. To contribute to the balance, to the Love, to the healing.
It's easy to grumble, complain, point fingers, judge... Yes, it's easy since the energies that encourage that are strong, yet we must be stronger. We must focus on our heart, on being present with others from the heart and not from the judgmental mind, to let our heart forgive and let go, and be ready to give others a second (and a third and a fourth) chance.
It is never too late to Love, to start over. The hardest part is to decide to do so, to be willing to let go of the past, of our grudges, our "I was right" attitudes, and our feelings of knowing better than the other person. |
Let's be open to change, let's be open to listening to all sides of a situation and look for the common ground, the harmony, the possibilities of coming together for the Highest Good. And we can only do that with an open heart and an open mind, letting go of our preconceived notions and previous judgments, letting go of our old attitudes and beliefs, and simply being willing to start anew each day and each moment and create a better world for all... not just for our own little self, or our own family or tribe, but for the greater good of all.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
...with Peace, Love, and Gratitude,
