| Everyday Wisdom: Spiritual Guidance
for Daily Life by Paul Ferrini Bringing Love Every block to love lies in your heart and it is there that it must be dissolved. Don't wait for heaven to come to spread your love around. Do it now. For heaven is in your eyes when you see with acceptance and compassion. It is in your hands when you reach out to help. It is in your mind when you see "good" instead of "evil." How you see the world determines what the world will be for you. So do not seek to change other people or the world around you. Instead, look at yourself. Look at your beliefs and you will see where you need to bring openness. Look into your own heart and you will know where you need to bring love. Authenticity and Harmony with Others You come to harmony with others not through conformity, but through authenticity. When you have the courage to be yourself, you find the highest truth you are capable of receiving. That truth is what enables you to reach across the aisle to your brother or sister. You do not have to agree with others to value them and respect them. Because you accept your own uniqueness, you can honor the unique path that others take. Finding the truth in yourself, you recognize it when you see it manifest in others. Your Greatest Lessons Your greatest lessons are the ones you resist the most. If you have a great deal of resistance to what is happening in your life, there are probably major fears arising that you need to be aware of. While this may be challenging for you, please realize that it is a time of great spiritual importance. You simply cannot move ahead in your life without becoming conscious of your resistance and beginning to face the fear behind it. Paul Ferrini is the author of 28 books on practical spirituality. His work goes beyond self-help and recovery into the heart of healing and has helped thousands of people deepen their practice of forgiveness and open their hearts to divine presence in themselves and other.
