Seek first to UNDERSTAND…
WHO would you be without your story?
Put yourself out in the middle of nowhere with only the dingy clothes on your back. You have nothing, no one, no past and no future…only now. You have no house, no family, no possessions and no friends. There is only YOU - right now, right here…close your eyes and imagine it. Now….WHO ARE YOU??
What WORD most represents who you really are??
I am LOVE.
I am Energy.
I am Light.
I am PEACE.
I am God.
I am Creation.
I am Harmony.
Let it all go; your story, your beliefs, your stuff….See and feel who you really are. The method for doing this is to SEE and feel from the perspective of your HEART.
Imagine/ visualize that your heart has eyes, ears and a mouth. What would it see? Hear? Feel? And say? in response to; Who am I? and Why am I here?
Now see others through your heart. You can experience the truth of who your spouse is. Who are your children, really?? Perhaps you’ve never met them before. Have you met your parents? your siblings? Close your eyes - imagine that you are sitting accross from them and frustrated by their “usual behavior”. Now…release the story…the self talk…your thoughts, and LOOK at them..with soft eyes, through your heart’s eyes - that of love. Who do you see?? Do you understand them better now? How much easier is it to show compassion and truly understand them from this new stance?
Check out this enlightened clip from the brilliant Bryon Katie to really begin to wrap your head around all this:
Seek FIRST to understand…to hell with being understood! It’s really not important. Once you begin to understand and fully accept others - I promise you, you will become a living magnet and have more understanding and compassionate friends than you can fathom!
