August 2

Go behind the apparent circumstances of the situation and locate the love in yourself and in all others involved in the situation.

- Mother Theresa

The moment we have a negative experience we get stuck in what was done and how it was done and how it was done to us.  We must learn not to take life so personally.  People are not really out to get us.  Events are not waiting to befall us.  We are all moving to get where we want to be.  As a result, we will sometimes step on each others' toes.  When we find ourselves in a conflict or confrontation we must know how to love ourselves out of it.  Love means opening our hearts and minds to our best, regardless of what is going on.  Love means not attacking but supporting, not defending but seeking clarity.  Love means knowing that, in the end, we will all be okay even if it means we have to give up a little of something.  Let us learn to give up anger and fear by replacing those things with love.

I Am loving you and me out of this situation.
