The most important things are not always the most obvious.
There is always a way back to love and renewal through forgiveness. There is always an opportunity to make right your wrongs and breathe new life into your heart. The journey of forgiveness often begins within ourselves, a willingness to be open and a desire to be in union with our soul.
To forgive others, we must first confront our own mistakes and accept our humanity. When we hold onto guilt or resentment towards ourselves, it becomes a barrier to extending that compassion to others. This weight of unacknowledged mistakes can cloud our judgment and perpetuate cycles of blame and hurt. By forgiving ourselves, we create a space for understanding and empathy, not only for ourselves but for those around us.
By nurturing a forgiving attitude towards ourselves, we set the foundation for healing relationships and in turn creating a more compassionate world.
If what you love in someone is their essence, their spirit, their love…that is eternal and it never leaves because it is a part of you.
Be mindful, your compassion can turn into self sacrifice in an instant.
Friendly reminder that the living things around you deserve respect just as much as you do.
The spider doesn't know that your house is your house or that any land is off limits at all.
The deer doesn't know that there are roads stripped out daring it to die. It only knows that it needs to cross the earth to get to another part of the earth.
The mouse doesn't know that a kitchen isn't where it's supposed to be. It doesn't know that it isn't supposed to eat the food on the ground it scurried across.
The fly doesn't know that touching your food is wrong. It knows feeding and staying fed. The same as we all do.
Lving things besides humans don't owe humans getting out of the way. Be mindful of the dead rabbit in the road. It ate crop and lived as you did. The only thing it lacked was a human body.
(We won't get into bacteria and organisms smaller than the eye can see for today but they're worth talking about).
