Until you see the whole picture you cannot see the whole picture. We literally cannot stand in the exact same place as another person, so we will never see from exactly the same perspective. Love will create positive change in our world; hate and aggression just continue the cycles we are here to transform. We cannot force someone else to open their eyes to compassion and love by bombarding them with hate and condemnation. Sometimes our focus on what that other person is doing is just our own ego’s way of avoiding our own “inner work”. We get so focused on “the crusade” that we forget the love that was in our hearts at its start. History will repeat itself until we find a different way to respond and treat one another. When we seek to change another who does not yet “get it”, our actions will be felt as bullying and our “well-intentioned” focus/energy literally creates more aggression in our world. Before humanity’s wounds can heal, they must be brought to the surface and illuminated for all to see. You are not here to change anyone but you, and yet you can change everything by changing yourself! Take the time to look within and heal what is not in alignment with LOVE. The first thing to look for is those things you judge others for. Illuminate the shadowy spaces of body judgment, self loathing, insecurity, belief in scarcity, fear, anger, spiritual disconnect. Rumi ~ “The wound is the place where the light enters you” so stop pushing down your wounds. Forgive yourself for not loving enough yesterday and aim to love more tomorrow. with love, Kristi
