If you can love and accept someone else as they are without expectations & judgment even if they do things differently from you and have different belief systems without the need to defend yourself, then that’s when you’ve truly loved and accepted yourself. It’s very easy to accept someone else who is LIKE YOU. But how many can accept others who live differently? Because everyone is a mirror of yourself, when we get triggered by someone who’s different from us it’s actually showing us what we need to question (out of AWARENESS, and not out of self-doubt) and reflect on which area within us that we have to face to help us evolve. Which limiting belief systems are we safeguarding that we are not willing to let go of? Ego-driven in this case is JUDGEMENT, DEFENSIVENESS, playing the BLAME-GAME, SHAMING the other person because the ego doesn’t like to be accountable. It always takes the easy way out. Soul-driven is OBSERVING and not reacting negatively, SELF-REFLECTION, taking ACCOUNTABILITY of Self, DETACHMENT, UNDERSTANDING & LISTENING with COMPASSION without the need to put them down or the need to control them. All these takes a lot of hardwork and practice as soul path is indeed challenging. Challenging but rewarding. Every single time you wholeheartedly and consciously choose to accept someone with love and compassion and without judgement, you heal & accept a part of you. With time with this practice, you will heal a major part of you. What you do to others is what you are doing to yourself. Love more, judge less. Every trigger is our teacher. Things are not happening to you. They are happening FOR YOU. ❤️ Pic credit: @boundariesarebeautiful

Love will always win over Fear, over darkness and pride . Always choose Love and Kindness ! Choose to be Vulnerable over control , over anger and defensiveness. Reason why I say this with so much conviction is because i experienced it yesterday and It’s really helped me personally , to see the light when Darkness was all around. Be courageous enough to show Vulnerability and always choose kindness even when life doesn’t seem fair at times, because when you focus your attention on love and understanding rather than your own pain, everything shifts. #Freedom My kids remind me of the innocence and authenticity, vulnerability, openness and LOVE we are all born to be. Don’t let life harden you… The hard stuff in Life is here to teach us to be courageous enough to Just BE , to accept, TRUST in yourself and the journey and to grow into the direction of love and acceptance ! That we always have a choice… and I Choose Love 💕 because that’s who I Know I am deep inside! Live authentically! Be the Light so others may see in their Darkness ! Thank you @thejonesyingfamily @soniasamtani_ for being who you are in my life! When I needed it the most, you make me feel safe enough to be Soft! 🥺🥺🥺 🙏

Generalising people based on one (or a few similar experiences) is trauma-response. Instead of generalising innocent ppl who don’t deserve to fall into the category of the negative experiences you faced, point your finger towards your forehead & ask yourself how can you heal from your past negative experiences. So next time if someone generalises you based on a bad past experience they had and they don’t even know you, don’t take it personally. It has nothing to do with you. It’s a reflection of trauma that they didn’t heal yet & projecting onto you. Keep being you & keep shining your light because this experience also happened in your path for a reason. Now, in the present moment in this encounter, you’re representing CHANGE. And you have a fighting chance to change their mindset with your energy, character & values. Most of the time during generalisation, they are not open to discussion from your end. They actually just want to be HEARD. Practice empathetic listening & let your energy do the talking. Control defensiveness, practice restraint. Flow with things. If you feel overwhelmingly negative around them, let go of that encounter. If you can go on, keep strengthening your aura by regulating your breath and feeling joy on the inside. Be all there for them and what they are saying. There’ll be a temptation to feel attacked but remember it’s not about you. Your words can’t leave a stronger impact than what they feel from your good energy. You cannot impose to them what’s right or wrong as that’s invalidating their past experiences. But you can simply be YOU. The impact you leave them with in that short period of time will make them second guess the next time they tend to feel tempted to generalise. Defensiveness & anger on your part only strengthens their perspective & is a reason for generalising further. Your good energy is the most sustainable way to change someone’s perception about something. Your energy could help their healing process & one day they’re going to end up saying “gosh I was wrong. Not everyone is the same.” because they remembered you & how you didn’t judge them for how they were at that time. You helped them evolve.❤️
