How to Be More Loving and Forgiving: An Introduction
Introduction
How do we become more loving people? How can we be more forgiving, especially towards ourselves? It all starts with recognizing that whatever is missing in a relationship is often what we are not giving to that relationship.
Understanding the Relationship Principle
The Connection Between Our Actions and Perceptions
Maybe if I’m not very loving with everyone I meet, that’s why my spouse tells me I’m cold. It’s all one relationship. We can practice being more loving, authentic, and compassionate with every person we meet because that’s how we will be with anyone we meet.
The Practice of Being Loving and Forgiving
We practice being loving. We practice being forgiving. If you wonder, "How can I be a more loving person?" and think you’re stuck in your ways, harsh, judgmental, or a perfectionist, you can change. You either get over it, or you keep suffering, binding yourself to that cycle.
Breaking the Cycle
Recognizing the Need for Change
Saying, "That’s just the way I am," is an excuse. Unless you want to be forever bound to that cycle, you need to consider another way.
Practicing Forgiveness
You can practice being forgiving. For example, forgive the person who is rude to you at the grocery store. You might not know them, but they are your assignment at that moment. Instead of holding a grudge, recognize that you have been rude to others due to circumstances they didn't know about. Forgive them and move on.
The Divine Perspective
Transcending Time and Space
Time and space are human constructs. When you start thinking like the divine mind and forgive others, you transcend these constructs. In doing so, you forgive your past self for things you have found unforgivable.
Experiencing the Miraculous Instant
In that miraculous instant of forgiveness, time vanishes. It’s not about the past or future but about the present moment. Forgiving someone else can feel like forgiving yourself, creating a profound sense of relief and closure.
Practical Steps to Practice Love and Forgiveness
Start Small
Begin by practicing love and forgiveness in small, everyday interactions. These seemingly insignificant actions can transform your life and the lives of those around you.
Recognize Patterns
Many of us feel terrible about the decisions we make and the patterns we repeat. This frustration can be alleviated by recognizing these patterns and deciding to break them.
Treat Every Person as an Assignment
Every person you meet is your assignment. Whether at the grocery store, work, or any other place, treat each interaction as an opportunity to practice love and compassion.
The Impact of Choosing Love
Transforming Relationships
Choosing to be loving and compassionate transforms not just your relationships but your entire life. This choice creates turning points that have lasting effects.
Living Your True Purpose
Whatever you think you are doing at any given moment, remember that your true purpose is to practice love and compassion. Every person you meet is part of this divine assignment.
Conclusion
Every person is your assignment. Be tender, compassionate, and loving with everyone you meet. In those seemingly meaningless moments, you can create turning points that change lives forever by choosing to remember who you are and choosing love.
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, please choose which of the following would be most challenging to you:
Expressing Compassion: Finding the right words to show empathy and understanding.
Setting Boundaries with Love: Communicating your limits without causing hurt or resentment.
Forgiving and Letting Go: Moving past conflicts and truly forgiving others.
