Over the last few years I’ve noticed that I haven’t always been one to show loving kindness to those closest to me. The ones that matter the most, are the ones who get treated the worst.
I haven’t always been like this and I know there is no excuse and no one to blame but myself. In fact, I take full responsibility for my actions. I can’t change the past, but I can change the future and I will.
As I’ve reflected on my past, things that have happened to influence who I am today, I’ve noticed a trend of a downward spiral. During this time of reflection and dare I say growth, I’ve learned that it isn’t always about me. Showing loving kindness is showing compassion and grace, being sensitive to other’s feelings and loving unconditionally.
So, I’m on a — a mission I guess you could say — to stop this downward spiral and be the person I once was. A woman who loved life, who looked forward to the future, who wasn’t held down by obligations and work, who didn’t care about her past, and just wanted the best for everyone. I want to be that woman again.
And that begins with loving myself and loving those around me.
