This morning’s meditation.
Understanding.
I am reminded how my beliefs about understanding other people in order to help them was useless.
I have come to learn that understanding myself allows me to be helpful to others.
I can be helpful to many people who are going through experiences similar to what I went through.
I am not much help to others who are struggling with experiences I have never had. I can show kindness, acceptance, and maybe listen as they describe their experiences and if I have had no such experiences, I have no useful information.
I choose to be as understanding as my experiences allow and honest enough to admit when I have no similar experiences to share.
Today I intend on being honest, kind, loving, peaceful, helpful, understanding, empathetic, humorous, humble, fun, and respectful.
May each of you find your understanding.
You are Loved.
