| Hi!!
Before I start talking about a very important topic, I would like to say thank you and sorry.
Thank you so much for the massive amount of kind messages I got on my latest 2 emails!!! And sorry that I couldn't reply personally to each one of you yet, I will be catching up in the next days :)
So today, I would like to talk about moments and opportunities we are given for rapid growth.
When can we expand in the fastest possible way?
These moments are crucial in your life. They are often difficult and painful, and very often we don't see it as an opportunity for growth, we feel hurt and angry.
Expansion of our soul happens when we, for example, forgive when someone did us wrong.
First of all, we forgive because we don't want bitterness or anger to ruin our life and our heart, but also because in reaching out to the one who did us wrong, we look at the other from a divine perspective and no longer from our small perspective.
Those are the moments that we can grow. So next time, in stead of blaming the other one for doing you wrong, try to look at it from another perspective. Know that what the other person said or did is only a reflection of his inner state and has nothing to do with you. Approach the other with compassion.
Great teachers and masters taught us this in leading by example, Nelson Mandela reached out to his oppressor, so did Martin Luther King, so did Mahatma Ghandi, because they knew.
They knew that real love, real compassion is born in those moments when it is difficult to love. Once we can expand our hearts in such a way, we become extremely powerful since no one has the power anymore to hurt us anymore or make us unhappy.
As always, so grateful for your presence in my life, Barbara.
