I originally began writing this for myself but considered it may help or resonate with others. For awhile now, Ive been forced to see things I never would have if it had not been for loved ones actions and words - harsh, truthful and also compassionate. At times, it wasnt an instant realization but as with all things that are meant to be, it took time. To this I am grateful to them all. I used to pride myself on understanding others perspectives but I never realized it was just on the surface and the motive at times was self serving. Ive now, learned to and will practice removing my own personal feelings to truly see and understand. In the end I see how important this is for true growth and for all involved. People talk about forgiveness as an action, Ive recently learned that to truly move forward and understand we must remove our own wants/needs from the situation to gain a clearer picture. For the people we love, this is an act that surely tells you how much you really love and care for them. Without understanding and without removing ego, resentment builds. This doesnt serve anyone. We are all imperfect, we all make choices at times without really considering the consequences. The happiness of my loved ones, the understanding of situations and the acceptance that any day may be our last will allow me to - as my sister says- Let Love Lead. This is not a resolution but a priority.
