Do you ever, have you ever, had, a real conversation, with family, friends, in which you are honest about your feelings, how things made you feel and then listened to and heard what the other parties had to say?

Everything has at last 2 sides, the more people involved, the more sides there are because it isn’t really a matter of a side, it is a matter of different perceptions, different understandings because you do not all think the same, feel the same, understand the same.

When listening to others it is about opening your heart to understand as best you can and in the majority of cases, keep your head out of the equation.

Listen with your heart, hear with your heart.

Bad behaviour is not acceptable but sometimes what is perceived as bad behaviour by one, is not bad behaviour by others, not just by the individual that behaved in whatever manner that was.

Listen, watch, hear when you are among groups of family and friends.

Sometimes just watching and listening is enough, silence can help, other times it is important to speak up.

Be true to you but also be considerate of others.

Pain may have been caused but do you really wish to create more pain just for the sake of it.

Yes, honesty of how you felt is important but accept that others may not understand because they have not experienced what you did or their experience was felt differently by them.

You are all unique individuals.

The person most important to love you, to trust you, to believe in you, is you.

Listen to yourself, hear yourself and treat yourself with the love, the compassion, the care that you would treat others with.

Start with you for you and it is amazing how your permission to be yourself can give others permission to be themselves.

Light, Love & Peace Sweet Souls

Namaste
