My
Dear Ones,
Sometimes
in striving to manage emotions we avoid seeking help from
others for fear of becoming dependant or perhaps we do not
want to bare ourselves. Whatever the reason may be for not
sharing how we feel with others we need to look at the value
that someone can provide when nothing else works for us.
However,
in seeking help from others we need to be very careful in
choosing whom we speak with. This is critical. The person,
besides being someone whom we can feel comfortable with and
trust, must be centered in a stable emotional space. Otherwise,
any inability to deal with our emotional burden may have a
subtle adverse influence on us. The person needs to help us
analyze our emotional world and find ways of transforming
our weaknesses. One who is centered in a space of deep peace
and believes in the infinite possibilities of the human spirit
can be a powerful ally on our journey to strength.
If
we can find such a person, just being in their calming presence
can be very therapeutic. Such persons with their powerful
listening skills allow us to see ourselves and our challenges
in a clearer way as we speak to them. They draw us with their
love, caring and non judgmental nature to bare ourselves almost
effortlessly and willingly. Then, with patience and a steady
positive attitude, they work with us to find solutions that
are within our own realm of possibility.
As
we begin to work on our emotional challenges with their guidance,
they continue to support us with their own emotional strength,
holding ourhands when we feel weak and insecure. If we fall
they are there to lovingly lift us and show us the way once
again with never a sign of disappointment but only great understanding
and compassion. Their joy is in seeing us become emotionally
strong and able to take charge of our own lives. Such persons
are blessings when they enter our lives. They are precious
gifts from the Universe to us. Their joy is not in just guiding
but in serving.
In
time we, too, will be able to help others in the way we have
been helped. Life is about helping each other when needed.
We have been blessed to receive and so we should be open to
give. In this way we work together to co-create a better world.
Yours
in loving service,
Vasudeva
