It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be times in our
lives when we come across people who do not like us. As we know, like attracts
like, so usually when they don't like us it is because they are not like us.
Rather than taking it personally, we can let them be who they are, accepting
that each of us is allowed to have different perspectives and opinions. When we
give others that freedom, we claim it for ourselves as well, releasing
ourselves from the need for their approval so we can devote our energy toward
more rewarding pursuits.
While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend on it we
may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will not like us no
matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with us.
Each of us has our own filters built from our experiences over time. They may
see in us something that is merely a projection of their understanding, but we
have no control over the interpretations of others. The best we can do is to
hope that the role we play in the script of their lives is helpful to them, and
follow our own inner guidance with integrity.
As we reap the benefits of walking our perfect paths, we grow to appreciate the
feeling of fully being ourselves. The need to have everyone like us will be
replaced by the exhilaration of discovering that we are attracting like-minded
individuals into our lives--people who like us because they understand and
appreciate the truth of who we are. We free ourselves from trying to twist into
shapes that will fit the spaces provided by others' limited understanding and
gain a new sense of freedom, allowing us to expand into becoming exactly who
we're meant to be. And in doing what we know to be right for us, we show others
that they can do it too. Co-creating our lives with the universe and its energy
of pure potential, we transcend limitations and empower ourselves to shine our
unique light, fully and freely.
