Acknowledging
“Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.”
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Becoming better at loving others is a powerful way of discovering the Presence within us. A particularly effective practice is to regularly acknowledge the good in others as well as in ourselves, regardless of whatever difficulties and challenges are present. We can experience the Presence in others powerfully when we practice acceptance and compassion, because these attitudes of mind allow us to see beyond our preferences and projections. Other people can be a portal through which we see the activity of the Presence when we pause daily to consider and acknowledge them.
Who in your life deserves your acknowledgement right now and how might you express your appreciation to how they have contributed to your wellbeing.
