PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Love softens the hard edges of life, hurt, pain, and suffering.  My journey has taken me through a long and arduous road to find this love within for myself. With this self love, I am able to find this love for others.  Instead of blame and punishment, I attempt to nurture and rehabilitate to make my world and those who share it, a better place.  Pain can be a harsh experience, and causes us to become hardened and jaded from this experience.

My life experience has taught me to forgive, understand, and find compassion for those who have become hardened and jaded by their life experiences.  Those who lost hope of redemption for themselves, and forgotten how to love themselves will continue to live a hard life full of suffering.  I know, as I lived such a life, like my parents before me.  It is a cycle of hurt, pain, and continuous suffering.

Healing our emotional pain gives us this ability to shed the hard shell we have created, and learn to love again.  Learning to love ourselves is the first step to learning to love others.  May you find this love within. (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
