I want to thank those who have been so generous with their feedback, criticism, judgment and even persecutions of me.\u00a0 These greatest of all possible gifts are been very good for me.\u00a0 I recognize that no feedback, criticism, judgment or persecution can harm me, only my reactions can do me harm.\u00a0 However, they can point out to me how my reaction to them might be doing myself harm.<\/p>\n
To be honest I have not always enjoyed and love these challenges.\u00a0 I am now.\u00a0 This morning I woke up and realized again the gift that this feedback, criticism, judgment or persecution is to me.\u00a0 I am grateful for all those who questioned my integrality, honesty, sincerity, empathy or compassion.<\/p>\n
I recognize that what I want is a beautiful life filled with appreciation, joy and love.\u00a0 In addition, I recognize that the measure I give is the measure I receive, so when I am appreciating, enjoying and loving what life is offering me then my life is filled with the light of that appreciation, joy and love.<\/p>\n
It is easy to love those who love me; even the dualists can do that.\u00a0 Nevertheless, there is so much greater spiritual benefit or profit to be able to love those who criticize, judge and persecute me.\u00a0 Moreover, to me there can be no greater gift than this feedback.<\/p>\n
I do hope that all will continue to give me their light, insight, wisdoms, criticism, judgment and even persecutions.\u00a0 For I recognize that I am forever falling asleep and this feedback is what can help awaken me from that sleep.\u00a0 Should I take offense, resist or defend my \u201cself\u201d then I know that I have again fallen asleep.<\/p>\n
Thank you, thank you, thank you.<\/p>\n
