Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The past doesn’t define who we are now or he we might become.
Suffering comes when we attach ourselves to the past and allow it to shape now.
The past is simply a collection of memories in our head. If we do not attach anything to those memories, then we can recount them and the past experiences without pain.
We can’t change it, and why would we want to? Our unique journey has taken us to where we are. It’s over but can be remembered with joy, if accept it and do not shape ourselves from it.
When we encounter different our conditioning makes us want to ridicule, or block, or judge or hate.
What if we were conditioned to seek to understand and to see what connected us rather than what separates us? What if we were to accept that having a different view was simply that a view, not right or wrong, just different to ours? What if we accepted that it is all a perspective?
Different doesn’t mean less or bad, it’s just different. If we seek what connects us and if we accept all humans are part of the one life, then we can bring peace within and collectively.
