If I want to be free of a situation, I must first love it as it is

never doubt copyI was once irked that an ‘interloper’ had appeared out of nowhere and brought drama into my neighborhood. I knew I’d attracted it. I knew there was a reason I had to have it literally right in my face. I also knew that the longer it irked me, the longer it’d be there.  I know that if I want to be free of a situation, I must first learn the lesson from it, and I must love it as it is.  As soon as I remembered that, I went on a bomb-with-love campaign. I meditated on the feeling of love, that we all seek love and connection and we feel joy when we find it. I blessed the situation and all of us. I did that as a daily practice as I did my daily healing bench sessions. Then I eventually stopped thinking about it. The second I released resistance, they moved.
