All Relationships Offer Healing

When your buttons are pushed, you are called to heal your woundedness.
When you are angry and critical, you are invited to relinquish attack.
When you feel alone and afraid, you are encouraged to extend love to all.
When you compare, analyze and judge, you are being shown where you feel unworthy.

All relationships show us where we need healing.
All relationships are a gift of awareness. 
All relationships provide what we need to see ourselves.
All relationships are a choice to love or fear.

Yes, it is valuable to be honest with ourselves about our attachments, both positive and negative.
It is key to learn to respect ourselves and others by acknowledging our unique path and purpose.
It is essential that we recognize and accept full responsibility for the quality of our relationships.
It is vital to learn ways to fully cooperate, harmonize and bring peace to every encounter.

Yes, it is possible that we, without another’s understanding, consent or participation can bring peace.
Yes, it is up to the most conscious one to make the healing and holy difference.
Yes, you can be that One when you are willing to forgive your assumptions and projections.
Yes, all relationships can be healed so that love and blessings are given and received.

We often are taught to be careful, even fearful of giving and receiving Love.
We may be schooled that love means physical closeness and intimacy.
We may believe that love is special and only meant to be given to the most important persons.
We may find ourselves having difficulty loving, respecting and being able to respond to our own needs.

Until we experience the fullness of unconditional love for ourselves, we cannot truly love others .
When we love, trust and respect ourselves, we can choose to love, trust and respect others.
To clear our blocks to love requires absolute honesty with ourselves about lack of self Love.
To fully receive the gifts of unconditional love, we must feel worthy and willing to love ourselves.

Life is a reflection of our regard for ourselves.
Life becomes a projection of our inner beliefs.
Life shows us relationships which out-picture our thoughts.
Life is a gift of increasing awareness as we are willing to receive, learn, forgive and correct.

Let every relationship be a teacher and a teaching for you.
