Unconditional Perspective
"Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength." ♥ ~ Dalai Lama
Allowing my heart to speak first has been challenging for me through my teenage and now adult years. Vulnerability was a weakness to me, and showing emotion was a part of that challenge.
Relationships suffered in both my personal and professional life. I held a cold facade that most people met first. I was guarded and my heart was hidden.
My son has helped me to peel back some of those layers of “protection” around my heart. I have felt myself melt around the edges, and I have opened to the fact that feelings and emotions heal and connect. He has taught me what it means to see people and things with an unconditional perspective.
I can be independent and carry my strength now with warmth and love. I allow my heart to speak up first, and ask my mind (ego) to please wait your turn.
I choose now to find the unconditional in the everyday, and in the momentous. To see the differences with love instead of anger or disappointment. I ask my soul to show up first to the conversation.
The battle in my head seems to lessen with each choice, with each breath that seems a little more loving, a little more…me. I have asked myself to go ahead and step forward.
To be gently guided toward an unconditional perspective just feels lovely. It feels. Feeling this way is connection, is breath, is joy.
