Transformation and coaching are about helping others. Today's post is about spiritual and emotional health, both of which contribute to your physical health.
#NeverForget. It's all over FB and social media today, as it should be. But what are we remembering? Well, for starters, we're remembering the innocent victims of terrorism 11 years ago. We're also remembering the sacrifices made by brave men and women of service - military, safety, medical, religious, etc. These are things we should never forget.
In your day of memorial and reflection, I call for us to remember one more thing: let us not forget that 11 years ago today we rallied together, loving and supporting one another rather than our normal, seemingly daily routine of rallying against some-one, some-thing, some-idea. The Greatest Sin of all, especially today, is the sin of not unconditionally loving one another, REGARDLESS of ideology, religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other thing that defines us as humans.
I'm amazed how quickly we've seemed to forgotten how on September 11th, 2001, and the days/weeks that followed, we somehow put aside our differences and cared for one another. We exhibited kindness towards each other in acts of goodness, selflessness, and caring. We felt a collective pain and came to the aide of those hurting. As a nation, and world, we were reminded that life is finite, and that love and compassion were more important than anything else.
I'm begging you today, and everyday that you can, to put aside your anger, cast away your frustrations, throw down your defenses, and simply LOVE. ONE. ANOTHER. I'm not that life happens, I'm not naive. I'm simply saying do yourself a favor today - nourish your spirit and soul with love, and give that love to your neighbors, your friends, your family, your enemies. If your differences call you back tomorrow wondering where you've been, then decide tomorrow whether you should return. But for today, LOVE. ONE. ANOTHER.
God's peace to you all!
