When we observe others in what we would perceive as their hardship or pain, be it an addiction or life challenge, I would encourage you to see the lesson as not their identity, but only as a splinter in self. Meaning… Someone’s life lesson is not who they are, just as our ‘faults’ do not dictate a lesser value of love we deserve. Again I would say our observation’s intent, plays a huge role in our own growth. Your interpretation of their experience is simply that – ‘your interpretation.’
Use each experience like this to expand the love within self, by viewing the challenge as an opportunity to bring healing. Rather than focusing on how this other person is wrong or separate, find an understanding that asks the question ‘what is the capacity within myself to bring healing rather than judgment?’ You see, when we consciously bring healing as oppose to judgment and separation, we heal ourselves. This is in part how we are all one, their lesson becomes our lesson, but only if we choose it to be so.
Did you find genuine value within this post? If you did, then most likely you know someone else who will as well. I invite you to share the goodness!
