HOPE is a Waking Dream ? with LOVE and PERSISTENCE everything is POSSIBLE.

\ Kemenangan bukanlah soal medali, tapi terlebih dulu adalah kemenangan terhadap d iri dan lebih penting kemenangan di dalam hati. Gagal meyakinkan diri untuk mencoba lagi, adalah kegagalan yang sesungguhnya. True forgiveness is not an action after the fact, it is an attitude with which yo u enter each moment. Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge. Part of being in any loving relationship is allowing room for mistakes, errs and f**k ups. We are all imperfect people who are going to mess up. The expectation that anyon e in your life is going to be perfect all the time is not based in reality and i s used for separation rather than Loving. Bottom-line: If you Love someone, give him or her room to make mistakes. We don t know what path people are on; our job is to keep focused on our path. Wha t we think is right for people to do or not do is just an opinion it is not fact. On top of that, when we make agreements with people we Love, we must go into the relationship with eyes wide open, knowing that we are making an agreement with an imperfect person. No one is perfect; therefore we are all subject to making m istakes and experiencing the mistakes of other people. Love holds a space for these mistakes to happen. This isn t to say that we should have low standards and tolerate abuse and other k inds of toxic behavior. My assumption is that this is obvious. Abuse is abuse an d should not be tolerated. But relationships are built for growth and with growth comes the ruffling of fea thers. It is by our feathers being ruffled that we learn how to fly. My feathers are currently being ruffled. Every time I think I m pretty cool and lved The Uni-verse quickly knocks my ego off its feet. I am going through this experience right now. There is a person in my life who c an push my buttons just the right way and my reaction is one of major anger. It really pisses me off when I interact with this person. But, a friend of mind cal led me and reminded me that my relationship with this person is part of my spiri tual growth. I could choose to avoid the situation all together, but when I stop ped and looked at it through the eyes of the question my friend asked me which i s, What would Love do now? , it changed my perspective. Instead of seeing this person through my judgments and the story I made was (ann oying, passive aggressive and controlling), I am not choosing to see this person as a teacher sent to me from The Uni-verse. I am not justifying the behavior of this person, but I am calling out my own judgments and story and choosing to ta ke them, crush them and see this situation with the eyes of Love. I have to take 100% response-ability for my actions and my participation in this relationship with this person. My ego hates this idea, but I know that if I kee p going and choose to continue to see this situation with the eyes of Love, it w evo

ill transform from something uber-annoying into a beautiful lesson and new reali ty of Love. Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives ? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... Because we and our loved ones manage to devise so many ways for fear to bind ou r hearts fear of intimacy, disappointment, embarrassment, confrontation we often hurt each other without really meaning to. We hurt one another by learning, ove r the practice of a lifetime, how to protect ourselves from pain. Add to this al l the mistakes we make and the mistakes others make, and forgiveness becomes ess ential.
