Part of you is connected to everyone so someone else's hardship may seem like yours.  How often have you felt you would like to help someone out of their misery? Can you recall when you have wished to alleviate someone's pain? Maybe you dream of eliminating their obstacles or heartache.  As you begin to align yourself, you realize loving them means allowing them to forge their own path.  Every person exists to climb his or her own mountains, and sometimes people decide to slip and fall.  They may or may not get up.

You may be a parent who hopes to save your child from making the same mistakes you perceive you did.  You may be a spouse who would like your partner's life to be easier than it seems at the office.  You may be a teacher who witnesses bullying and would like to fight your student's battles.  You may be  a health care worker who would like to minimize or alleviate a patient's suffering.  You may be a child caring for a sick parent or relative and hope for healing when the person does not wish to recover.  How to help them?

Right at this moment, you begin to realize the soul understands whatever you perceive is an extension of your own pain. You have worry, fear, doubt, grief that you might be holding onto. As you do, you project reasons to experience these feelings in the physical world.  Other people's experiences are what give them insight into themselves, into life. It is not up to you to live anyone else's life.

As you choose to help yourself, you are helping everyone around you.  You are not meant to control other people, to judge what is best for them.  You are invited to love them as they are, to love yourself as you are. Consciously choose to let go.  Align with self-acceptance.  You know deep within, that everything is well. Express love.  Your choices help you Transform Your life.
