Not in tune with others

[Guest guest]

It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be times

in our lives when we come across people who do not like us. As we

know, like attracts like, so usually when they don't like us it is

because they are not like us. Rather than taking it personally, we

can let them be who they are, accepting that each of us is allowed to

have different perspectives and opinions. When we give others that

freedom, we claim it for ourselves as well, releasing ourselves from

the need for their approval so we can devote our energy toward more

rewarding pursuits.

 

While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend

on it we may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will

not like us no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there is

anything wrong with us. Each of us has our own filters built from our

experiences over time. They may see in us something that is merely a

projection of their understanding, but we have no control over the

interpretations of others. The best we can do is to hope that the

role we play in the script of their lives is helpful to them, and

follow our own inner guidance with integrity.

 

As we reap the benefits of walking our perfect paths, we grow to

appreciate the feeling of fully being ourselves. The need to have

everyone like us will be replaced by the exhilaration of discovering

that we are attracting like-minded individuals into our lives—people

who like us because they understand and appreciate the truth of who

we are. We free ourselves from trying to twist into shapes that will

fit the spaces provided by others' limited understanding and gain a

new sense of freedom, allowing us to expand into becoming exactly who

we're meant to be. And in doing what we know to be right for us, we

show others that they can do it too. Cocreating our lives with the

universe and its energy of pure potential, we transcend limitations

and empower ourselves to shine our unique light, fully and freely.
