Today’s reading from Holy Shift is this:
I love that. Know yourself as love which has no opposite in you. When you know and acknowledge this to yourself, there’s no room for fear, and what can you possibly fear knowing that you are love and you are divine and eternal.
Something to think about next time you are trapped in a fear loop!
One question that I am asked often is about other people and whether they will see the error in their ways and change a situation.
There’s one thing that’s a pain in the butt about manifesting, and that is that the only life you can manifest things into is your own. You can hope and pray and send good intentions to others and hope that they see the perceived “error of their ways”, but that’s all you can do.
Until a person is good and ready to change, they won’t.
You can talk until you are blue in the face. You can support this person as they deal with certain issues and situations but you cannot make their decisions for them and sway them in one way or the other.
It’s difficult to see the people that we love doing things that we feel are not the best things for them to do. All we can do is support them unconditionally. If what we forsee comes to pass and the outcome is negative, we shouldn’t say I told you so. We should find our grace and continue to support and comfort the other person. Love does not judge, and we need to look at these situations to try and discern what the lesson is. There’s probably a lesson in it for us if it bothers us so much. Maybe the lesson for us is to let go of the things in life that we can’t control.
Rumi said:
It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
So despite what we hope and pray for others, we need to let it go and let the person in question walk their road and learn the lessons they are meant to learn. There’s no way that we can shake them out of it or convince them otherwise, unless they are already willing to change things.
The only life you can control is your own. Take a deep breath and let go of the choices made by others. As one of my friends likes to say, “Not my circus. Not my monkeys.”
It’s fine to want the best for someone and to care and support, but by trying to force change, that person may distance themself from you, which likely isn’t the best situation for either party.
Breathe, relax, let go and trust that the right outcome will take place.
