We cannot truly have compassion for others until we have compassion for ourselves. It isn’t always understood, this compassion thing. The truth is: everyone represents a part of us. What we see in others is what we see in ourselves…good and bad. Every day we are sorting and classifying how we feel about everything. We have deep internal judgments and we have deep understanding. As we grow in compassion for ourselves it is necessary to clear those old thoughts of punishment or despair, hurt and anger that we have carried with us for so long. If we cannot be kind to ourselves we cannot possibly be kind to others.
WE ARE ALL ONE. We come from the same Source…the I am presence. In forgiveness there is awakening. Take time today to listen to your own inner stories. How much compassion do you have for yourself? How hostile is your self-talk or how loving are your inner words about your life? How kind are you to who you are and where you are going? Do you resonate with love and forgiveness? This is the day to make amends. This is the day to remember to be compassionate for your journey and all the lessons you are learning. This is the time to embrace who you are: forgiving, erasing and moving forward as you respond with kindness to life’s circumstances. You are building a new over-view of life, deciding what to keep and what to eliminate. You are learning to be a compassionate soul in a challenging world. You are learning to fully love and accept who you are!
I love you…Please forgive me…I am sorry…Thank you!
