Do not measure your impact or influence in terms of numbers. Know that you are here for your own ability to love. How are you doing with this task? Do you judge others on a human scale or see them first and foremost as souls like you who came here to dance in communion? The more one forgets this, the more the judgment and separation prevail. This is not a judgment, merely the way of things when playing roles. You are both human and soul. When the two states of being are aligned, this is Joy.
You are so very loved.
My sincere and dear friend expressed a feeling of uselessness regarding his purposes in life. The heartsick feeling that gave me was an instant realization that i may well be one of those responsible for his ignorance. In recent years, he especially has stood by me, unwavering, steadfast in matters spiritually affecting my mental, emotional, physical and even material well being… …🥴Yet HE feels useless.
I have been assuming he knows how greatly he is appreciated, how much he is loved for the gifts his being shares, and knows that i see the completely selfless ways he carries out his care of others: And i have been too cautious in letting him know the value he adds to life in general, and not just mine either. He is married and devoted, so yea, i have been cautious but clearly too cautious now that i see him feeling so low. I will have to apply myself differently toward him, be more expressive in ways compatible to our relationships.
Though i will not soon forget that heartsick feeling, I will not carry the burden of my failures forward. I will simply improve that which needs improving. We deserve that much love because it exists.
In expressing this happening, i am asking you to look at all those efforts those around YOU, who make genuine efforts… efforts you know elevate YOUR understandings and reasons for life of the living in this world and in the beyond. We are so very blessed, no matter how hard life seems to get. We ARE blessed. Being thankful, heartfelt gratefullness, requires expression … so that ONE needs no more to KNOW, how very much they are Loved. Let your love be so casual, common and constant. Express!
