" THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
ARE NOT FOOLED BY MISTAKES
YOU HAVE MADE
OR DARK IMAGES
YOU HOLD ABOUT YOURSELF.
THEY REMEMBER YOUR BEAUTY
WHEN YOU FEEL UGLY;
YOUR WHOLENESS
WHEN YOU ARE BROKEN;
YOUR INNOCENCE
WHEN YOU FEEL GUILTY;
AND YOUR PURPOSE
WHEN YOU ARE CONFUSED."
(African saying)
Hopefully, we will all experience unconditional love as described in this old African saying. Whether it is offered by a family member, a friend, or a mentor, this type of emotional support can personally impact life in a highly profound way.
When we have loved ones surrounding us, we can see a reflection of our selves in them as like attracts like. If we admire a quality a person has, we usually have the same quality or the desire to develop that quality more in our selves.
It is important to allow chosen friends or companions to grow close to us so during difficult times they can remind us of our strengths and gifts. They can encourage us to continue to move forward as we often have had to do in the past. We are given reminders of our past mastering of events. Their very presence reminds us that we are not truly alone.
In kind, we must endeavor to return the favor to others. By acknowledging the challenges of others, we can stand present in their lives and reflect their strengths back to them.
In life, there are times when it is just too easy to lose our way or to forget the beauty of our souls. Let us be a reflection to each other as a reminder of the goodness residing within us all.
