I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you.”
Colin Raye quotes
The more we can see our similarities in one another, the more we can let our guards down. I often say when someone says the words, “you don’t understand” they are actually saying that they don’t want to change; they don’t want to see things differently. You don’t understand means I am different, this is different, I am apart….my situation makes me different. It’s a way of keeping separation and isolation active in your life. Our dramatization of our situation prolongs the agony and prolongs the feelings of being separate.
If we spent as much time finding commonality as we spend finding differences we might just feel a little bit better. There is something about this season and how it brings people together that always warms my heart. People gather and families come together to celebrate love and oneness. It’s symbolic and it shows us what’s possible.
There is so much love to give. All of us have a capacity to spread it, to show it, and to be generous with it. Today, give your love generously and be receptive to receiving it.
Today I am grateful for everyone who has ever challenged me. I am grateful for the difficult situations which caused me to grow and have more compassion in my life.
