"I speak to everyone the same way whether
they are the garbage man or the
president of the university." - Albert
Einstein. It can be so hard to have
compassion when you're in a situation
you don't understand and your first
instinct is to judge, and you don't know
if it's the person or the situation.
It took me a long time to recognize the
difference between and choose compassion
because like you, I'm human and sometimes,
other actions don't even make sense to
me.
I still struggle at times but it's much
easier now to lean into love without
getting angry or having judgment. And the
truth is we often know nothing about the
situation that the other person may be
going through. And this is the perfect
time to accept things just as they are
and lead with compassion first.
Everything is a battle between fear and
love.
so how do we be in a love state?
Number one, hugs are my drugs. And why? Because
they increase oxytocin and when you're
in this oxytocin state from doing a hug,
it puts you in that love state.
Number two is seeing their fears as baggage
as that state. It's not really them, right?
I can see you but if I see your fear
showing up as scarcity, showing up as
jealousy, whatever it is, I know
that's not the real authentic you. I know
that the real authentic you is love and
experiences love on all levels. So I
don't look at you as that.
So when you're in this state of being
truly authentic, it will empower you
because love empowers and moves
everything. It actually sets people free.
So number three is eye contact. One of my
favorite ways is to actually make a
mantra and saying "I love you!", "Please
forgive me!", "I'm sorry!" over and over and
over again will actually help you raise
your vibration up so you can do that to
put yourself in a love state too. Four, if
you're grateful, you're in a state of
compassion. So how can you experience
more gratitude?
Well, wake up in the morning and write
five things that you're grateful for.
Imagine the whole world working in your
favor is number five. And this is real
simple.
So the next time you start to go off on
this tangible story of the world
doesn't show up to the way that I wanted
to.
Nothing isn't my favorite and there's
going to be no parking here. I'm gonna
show up late to work, my boss isn't gonna
give me that raise, just flip it on the
other way.
What would the ideal day look like and
start to talk only those words about the
ideal day. Becoming an enlightened person
is freaking difficult at times. I get it.
We drink green juice, we meditate we
count our blessings, we pray, we do all
these things and then some crazy angry
person comes in blaring our way and
throws us completely off the group.
People disappoint us. Friends betray us.
Our parents that we thought were
supposed to love us sometimes don't love
us at all. And we feel like we need to be
them.
So how do we come to the space of love
when the people around usn keep dragging
us down? All the great spiritual leaders
in history of the world - you got Buddha,
the Dalai Lama, Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Theresa -
they all taught us the same thing in the
same simple truth - to love your neighbor.
They even went so far as to say love
your enemies. Do we really have to love
the person who cuts us off in traffic or
butts out of the line or says something
hurtful?
It's all about compassion and empathy
We must stop looking at other people
through a glass of comparison and we
must start seeing them as an extension
of ourselves with love.
