"Our potential rises to the unimaginable. To inspire, live life, and favor human growth." ~ Maria Florio
The more it becomes obvious how the process of going from inner conflict to inner growth requires additional support, the more I want to share with you so that I can help with that transition. In today’s podcast episode I talk a bit about love’s role in our lives when it comes to moving away from fear and that which causes us conflict…move away, not by hiding the fear, but by facing it with love and having a support system that is all love.
One of the toughest things people experience throughout their lifetime are the fluctuations of highs and lows. One moment you’re happy, the next you’re sad. It doesn’t have to always be like that, but it depends on how you approach those contrasting moments. Do you just let them happen? Do you question what’s going on? Do you find a reason for continuing to live in that emotional state? Do they even grab your attention in a thought provoking way or do you just notice them because of the horrible feeling you have when you’re going through a low?
If you really think about it, the differences each of us has is something quite special; not only does it make life colorful, but it is also something that supports the pursuit of inner growth. Certainly, there are some characteristics and behaviors that can conflict with one’s own; but if these differences didn’t exist, would we be inclined to look further? Would growth happen if there wasn’t anything that struck us or that brought about a reaction within us?
The most common source of frustration or objection I hear when talking about taking life with a positive spin all the way through is the fact that if something “bad” happens, it’s “bad”. If you break a leg or lose your house or are heartbroken; none of the above are good. How about if you lose a loved one or are cheated or betrayed, how do you get passed that?
“Every interaction with another person can be an opportunity to grow and share love” ~ FNM I start this blog post with this statement because I’ve found it to be true with every interaction I’ve had; from the most pleasant of interactions to the least pleasant ones. Focusing on this truth or better stated, making this my natural reaction to interactions, particularly unpleasant ones, was a process…
Any situation always has the potential of being an opportunity to further inner growth. However, that’s easy to say when it comes to pleasant situations and people we encounter along the way. It becomes another story when you’re faced with challenges like people that tick you off or situations that cause us pain or worry.
