Do you have someone in your life who is always angry, or angry at you?
These last few years were very trying but good for the
people around me - who needed to learn more supportive ways - more loving
ways.
Not arms distance love.
Often, when there are unhealthy dynamics in a relationship,
our focus is on the other person, and what THEY are doing wrong.
The statement above was the beginning of a new relationship
with a family member.
When this statement is spoken, with sincerity, the person
realizes that you really care for them. It also breaks the ice, because
they realize you are sincere, no matter what kind of issue is going on.
Some people aren’t in the business of ‘’forgiving’’ or
‘’forgetting.’’
But taking things off yourself helps them to feel more at
ease, and eventually things fall away.
I used to think things had to be ‘’discussed’’ and
‘’resolved’’ in a concrete manner.
This isn’t always true, you can tell at times if there is
anger towards you just by comments, actions, etc.. Things can be ‘’let go
of.’’ So, we can cherish each other during those times.
During the EASY Times as well as the HARD times.
Expressing oneself freely, with no strings attached, no
conditional love (how I was raised), breaks down walls and barriers and
wrong mindsets and beliefs.
Sometimes it will take time, but this did work for me.
And I continue to use it. Love has no bounds. It can not ‘’have
expectations.’’ It cannot be told what to do.
LOVE has a mind of its own, just as the heart
does.
I have learned very much, how much the heart and mind do NOT
work together.
Listen to your heart always. Be humble.
This is what makes things go from negative to positive and
brings change.
Listen to your heart.
