Cognisance

It is important to exercise care with your Self and your relationships.  We are all fragile and sensitive and prone to reacting in ways that sometimes seem surprising. In turn, how comfortable do other people feel in your Presence?  Are they walking on eggshells around you or are they doing all the work to keep the relationship alive?  What a gift it is to allow others feel free enough to express their authentic Selves in your Presence.  Creating that space for others is creating that same space for your Self.  Are you able to give your Self space to grow?

When we view our Lives, we view it through an independent, individual lens.  The same event seen by two different lenses is almost always perceived in two different ways.  There are two different points of view processing the same event.  It is important to honour, acknowledge and recognise these differences within people.  It is not always fair to insist our lens is true and right for others.  In essence there only is what Is.  A good way to achieve harmony amidst all the dissonance, is to be Aware of the uniqueness and peculiarities of all people.  

Sometimes honouring others can be expressed in how we communicate with them, and how we allow them to have space to Be.  To constantly be arguing is a tiring, unproductive way to use energy, but then again that is only my point of view.  People gain satisfaction in a variety of ways – some through being victorious in debates, and others through giving and being generous.  

How do you honour your Uniqueness?  Do you know what is peculiar about you?  If you find you have habits you wish to drop, or attitudes that are no longer constructive, sit with the Grace that is at the core of your Being.  Grace is a wonderful catalyst.  When we are aware of the Presence of Grace, we awaken to calmness and goodwill, and understand there as an aspect of the Divine that sits within our Selves.  No matter what, you cannot get rid of Grace when you are aware of it.  When you let your Self go to the space within, there is comfort, support, and security. 

In the moments when you are trying to force a solution or action, it is inevitable you are not aware of the presence of Grace.  Though in hindsight, it may be worthwhile considering how would being aware of Grace shift that situation?  

Grace moves elegance into everything it encounters, and you are a conduit through which the Grace of the Universe moves.  To have only one job in this world can make Life very simple, and that is to stay centred and know that Grace is here now, and it is infinite in this moment.  When connected to Grace you become a blessing to all your relationships.  Hold the Grace, be the vessel, and you will create the space for everyone to Be.
