It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be
times in our lives when we come across people who do not like us. As we know,
like attracts like, so usually when they don't like us it is because they are
not like us. Rather than taking it personally, we can let them be who they
are, accepting that each of us is allowed to have different perspectives and
opinions. When we give others that freedom, we claim it for ourselves as
well, releasing ourselves from the need for their approval so we can devote
our energy toward more rewarding pursuits.
While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend on it we
may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will not like us no
matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with
us. Each of us has our own filters built from our experiences over time. They
may see in us something that is merely a projection of their understanding,
but we have no control over the interpretations of others. The best we can do
is to hope that the role we play in the script of their lives is helpful to
them, and follow our own inner guidance with integrity.
As we reap the benefits of walking our perfect paths, we grow to appreciate
the feeling of fully being ourselves. The need to have everyone like us will
be replaced by the exhilaration of discovering that we are attracting
like-minded individuals into our lives--people who like us because they
understand and appreciate the truth of who we are. We free ourselves from
trying to twist into shapes that will fit the spaces provided by others'
limited understanding and gain a new sense of freedom, allowing us to expand
into becoming exactly who we're meant to be. And in doing what we know to be
right for us, we show others that they can do it too. Co-creating our lives
with the universe and its energy of pure potential, we transcend limitations
and empower ourselves to shine our unique light, fully and freely.
