THERE ARE ONLY TWO LOVING EXPRESSIONS OF LIFE:
GRATITUDE AND FORGIVENESS!
When an encounter triggers a warm, comfortable feeling,
this other (your mirror) is reflecting something you like
about yourself. The appropriate and very important
expression is gratitude.
Every positive encounter reflects the beauty within you
waiting to be expressed, and gratitude is the releasing
mechanism. Gratitude is essential to reinforce your
awareness of your reality as love.
The flip side of that coin should start to become
painfully apparent. When an encounter triggers fear in some
form (anger, guilt, frustration, disappointment, annoyance,etc.)
this other (your mirror) is reflecting something you
don't like about yourself. Now the appropriate and very
important expression is forgiveness.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget that something happened,
but to allow your voice within to guide you to a different way of
seeing what happened to free you of your grievence.
FORGIVENESS IS THE ONLY THING
THAT CAN HEAL A SICK RELATIONSHIP.
