AS I LOVE OTHERS FOR WHO THEY ARE, I LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM

Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational

As I love others, despite the way they behave, I am also healing and understanding aspects of myself that I might also feel uncomfortable with. All the people in my life are mirrors, reflecting back aspects of me and I need to love everyone so that all parts of me can be healed through loving care.

NEVER be selective about who you give your love to.

Love everybody.

Yes… everybody!

Who said it was easy? Sometimes it isn’t. But the most important thing is that we extend love to all.. particularly those who we might find it most hard to love but are in so much need of it for sure.

So many of us pick and choose those people we want to give our attention to, who we want in our circle of friends and close acquaintances, our significant other, our family.

But to restrict love is also to restrict love to all aspects of ourselves.

Because all people in the world… all people who cross our path and come into our life are reflecting some part of us.

And they might well be reflecting some part of us that needs to be healed.

So give love to the person who stands aloof or is different or puts up those forbidding barriers.

Give love to the person who is judgmental or condescending.

Give love to the person who does not agree with you or even goes so far as to challenge you for who you are.

And give love to the person who is clearly at odds with you.

Because in loving the person who does not connect well, you are giving love and healing to the part of you that finds it hard to connect with certain people… perhaps authoritarian figures.

And in loving the person who casts judgment you are give warm healing to that part of you which sets you apart, considers yourself better or lesser than others.

And giving love to the person who is conflict with you brings understanding that part of you which is in conflict with yourself.

So someone in your life has gone off the rails… has behaved in a way that you do not approve of. We all know those who have upset the applecart.

But wake up… there is part of you that is off the rails.

Part of you might be glued to some addiction, to some destructive mode of conduct, to something that does not serve you or the world.

And when you love another for who they are despite what they might do as they struggle through life, as we all surely do at times, you are also healing and love that part of you which is also struggling.

Let’s face it… as human beings we all have the same emotions, feelings, fears and foibles.

Yes, all of us.

And we are connected into this great energy gestalt of which we are part of and so every aspect of every aspect of every person in the world is also an aspect of us.

OK some aspects might be subdued… some might be healed and therefore we are not as dangerous as other people… but all aspects do rear their heads in our thoughts if not our actions and loving action changes that thought into a better one that serves us.

We all suffer destructive thoughts… even if we do not follow them up with actions.

And we all need this healing so that when one of those ill serving thoughts flicks into our mind we can switch it quickly into a loving one which will not cause us to burn with rage, beat ourselves up or have any potency in our consciousness.

That is how you and I change this great energy gestalt one person at a time towards love, harmony and peace and make the world a safer place for us all.

But we need to love people…. love them anyway however obnoxious or foul they might seem to us at certain times if not for most of the time.

And we just need to know and accept that those in a fearful space will behave in a fearful and disrespecting way.

There is no rocket science about that.

However, those who take our hand of love can be healed as much as ourselves when we stretch out that hand to them.

Be the bridge of love in people’s lives.

And see how your life changes in the process.

That’s the pay back.

It is the universe’s way of showing you that all the good you do in the world to others is also done to you.

Those who might appear the hardest and the trickiest to love are the ones in most need of it.

Just as we find it so hard at times to love aspects of ourselves and yet those aspects are most in need of healing love.

Love all people… and see your life and the lives of others change.

So dear and beautiful friend… do open your heart and share what is going on for you on this subject or any subject
