There is one main thing that we resist: the idea of being great.
Greatness is the ability to respond things with love by seeing the bigger picture. I am able to forgive and start again. If my sense of self is seated in temporary things, my sense of greatness is compromised.
1. Am I able to flow with life, having a natural harmony with the world around me as a child does, and not hanging on the past?
2. Am I being hard on or forceful with myself?
To be able to say ‘Yes’ to question 1 and ‘No’ to question 2: Practice gentleness. How? By just thinking about it. We have a choice as to how we respond. We need then express and share this quality to make it real.
How real is my physical identity? Look into the mirror inside, it tells you more about the real you. It is the only being that I can understand. Deep below the superficial acquisition of the roles and the many layers were put around but our core, the being is the same.
Look inside for the reality. The real self is secure. It is going to be there after the body is gone. It is eternal.
It is, gentle, happy and loving. You are a child of God, a child of someone that is very elevated.
Set a goal to experience your greatness. Think about this during the day. Make it real in your own way, feel that greatness. See the jewel sitting inside. Have the courage to peel the layers off. Overcome the resistance to get up early, overcome being shy. A very kind, gentle being is waiting to come outside. Keep it up. Build on it. Be aware of your resistance and make an effort to respond in a different way.
