�� The Golden Rule of Love, Compassion, & Self-Care ��

💫The Golden Rule of Love, Compassion, & Self care 💫

“How you do anything is how you do everything!” ~ T Harv Eker

When we recognize this for ourselves this naturally radiates out & extends out to all those around us!

My personal confession…
I haven’t always been as compassionate for others as I claimed to be.
Heck, I wasn’t always that kind to myself so how could I know how to express it!?
At the same time, you could see my desperate for acceptance, connection/love, recognition, & validation from others through my actions.

I mean, I had always been a meat eater while claiming to eat animals.
It took me some serious searching within to recognize my own hypocrisy.
This was exceptionally humbling because I see how we have to walk this life in Conscious Awareness in all that we do, think, & believe.
What is it that motivates us?

Why is it so difficult for us to accept that what we all truly want is to connect & feel loved in this life?

Why do we allow external sources to influence what we all innately know in our hearts to be true?

Right now our stuff is really in our faces!  Whether people want to admit it, or not, we all have our inner demons we wish we didn’t have to be confront with.  The key is to accept them, confront them, & work on healing them.

If we claim to want to be accepted for who we are, why not see that that’s simply what we all are?

How compassionate are we really if we can’t even step up & accept ourselves!?
That’s really where it all begins ~ with Self!

One
of the biggest lessons I received in 2016 was how I was able to
recognize through self-inquiry & reflection on my Mind; the old
thought patterns & beliefs were confronting me but this year I tuned
into them & witnessed them for what they were telling me about
myself!

I
had to see that when my Mind went into so much of a tailspin, it really
simply was my Ego. My Ego could turn my feelings about how someone
treated me or failed to show up for me the way I wanted them to by
making it all about me when it never had anything to do with me at all!

Thinking,
continuous thinking caused fears & illusions to pop up that were
unfounded & wasted precious time & energy!

It was what caused my suffering & depression taking me out of my Personal Power!

My
Ego simply wanted to be acknowledged because that is how it perceives
Love to be - through a certain ideal experience; my Ego Mind wanted to
receive Love! The truth is that it doesn't know what Love looks like or
truly feels like because it has kept a distant view... taking in only
what has been around me or seen in movies, books, sensationalized...

The
Ego doesn't really experience anything but instead acts as a
watch-guard. It sees everything through the filters of your experiences
& watches as you react or respond to them as they come waiting for
that moment it has to launch forward in your defense because its purest
of intentions is to protect you from harm ~ physical & emotional!

Love is all around but looking for or expecting it to be a certain way was getting in the way.

My Ego just needed & needs to be embraced more & allowed to see Love in All! ❤️

“Honoring & Meeting Yourself/Others where you're/they're at!”

What is Judgment?
Simply defined, “it’s when you come to a conclusion or have an opinion…evaluation of evidence to make a decision.”

We
are all judging based on our own life experiences ~ this is not the
truth we all know but our individual truth!  When someone tells you
their experience, it doesn’t make it fact of all who were involved
because we all can have been involved but never ever have the same exact
experience as anyone else!  It’s just that our Ego looks to relate
& connect with others through experiences.

“Sometimes
my inner child really just wants to be heard while my inner wise woman
recognizes this & holds the space allowing her to vent because
ultimately She knows
what is needed to heal & how honoring that gives way to release! My
inner wise woman is able to witness knowingly & allow my inner
child the space to BE with what she feels....because my inner wise woman
is Aware & knows it is all perfect as she accepts herself at all
stages throughout her life!”

I
truly witnessed myself wanting & needing to be heard at different
stages throughout the year & this was humbling as I was also able to
recognize it in others as a result.  In fact, it made it even more
profound when I was able to hold space to connect & truly listen to
others who also needed it!

“It's through the Awareness & Acceptance of All of You that the healing begins!”

~*♥*~
May you find Clarity, Peace, & Abundance from that place deep
within your Heart & Soul!  May you become fully Aware of &
Accepting of You! ~*♥*~
