I was in Clapham today and in the station was a wonderful message of the day (see picture), I love how these small but significant reminders can help align us. What a wonderful message it was about feeling good and being intentional!
We are all diverse individuals walking around with a myriad of intentions and motivations driving the living of our life. It is only really possible to see through the eyes of self (how could it be any other way?), but I think being (or at least trying to be) compassionate to those who we don't completely understand is so vital.
We don't need to agree with or condone what the others do but to realise that they are that way for a reason. If you saw what they went through either as a child or some life experience they had, you could begin to understand why they act in ways you don't agree with.
Louise Hay was abused as a child and as part of her forgiveness work, she researched her parents' childhoods- which was horrible. She came to the realisation of 'How could they love a child, when they didn't know how, when they weren't shown love themselves?'
Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you may begin to comprehend why they do what they do and hopefully this will inspire some compassion!
I can be quite objective and I love to always experience new things and so part of that has involved seeing what makes people tick. It is through the different things I've tried that I can usually (but definitely not always!) do my best to understand why people are the way they are- especially if it's a behaviour which I can be judgey wudgey about!
On another note, from a feeling good basis, it really doesn't serve you to judge, to be in hate or whatever. It feels bad when you do that and for a reason!
Whenever you are viewing something from a stand point other than how the Source within you sees it, it feels bad! It's your guidance saying 'Hey, this thought doesn't serve you!'
Try to reach for that one good thing about them. I remember years and years ago in secondary school my Religious Education teacher said something like even Hitler loved and was loved, (I think!). (Amazing how these things stay with you! You never know what you say will make an impact on someone!).
So do your best to align with you and you. Don't let anyone or anything get in your way of feeling good! They just aren't worth it!!!
Happy loving thine enemy!!! Lol Xxx
All my love, Nick Xxx
