them in fear with our own fear is not helpful.<br />
Meeting their fear with your unconditional love<br />
and being a compassionate witness allows<br />
them to feel heard, seen, and understood and<br />
at the same time allows us to hold the high<br />
note and stand strong in the energy of love.<br />
My responsibility is not to save the world<br />
anymore. I support those I am meant to<br />
support and free everyone else to live their life.<br />
Today, I do my best to see everyone through<br />
the lens of love. I honour where they are and<br />
accept that some are willing to heal and some<br />
are not. The difference from the way I used to<br />
be is I now see everyone as capable. I see<br />
everyone’s potential and I focus on that without<br />
attachment.<br />
I know that beyond their fear is all the love they<br />
could ever need or ever ask for. We all have<br />
access to that love. Some will turn toward the<br />
love and say YES and others will turn away from<br />
it and say no. I accept and honour them either<br />
way. I love them just the same. Now that<br />
doesn’t mean I devote my time and energy<br />
trying to help them all. I simply love them and I<br />
trust my heart to lead me. Either I will guide<br />
them or I won't.<br />
My responsibility is not to save the world<br />
anymore. I support those I am meant to<br />
support and free everyone else to live their life.<br />
I trust I will work with those I am meant to or<br />
they will find someone else. The pressure is off<br />
my shoulders because I took it off. The burden<br />
is no longer mine to carry because I put it<br />
down. I no longer care too much, but I have<br />
learned to love deeply without attachment and<br />
that has been the biggest gift I could have ever<br />
given myself and the world.<br />
