After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.

If we could understand people’s reactions from their state of being, then it would be easy to rise above the fray to someone’s intentionally hurtful verbal reaction to our pure action. Where “rise above the fray” is to deal well with an unpleasant situation. An empowered soul would not succumb to limiting emotions, the likes of hatred; revenge; anger etc. in their response.

Your hard work, moving one peck (step) at a time progressing in a rhythm dictated by the essence of your true (soul)self and the passion of your soul for your dreams, has not gone unnoticed by the Universe. You will indeed win if you trust your intuition or Divine guidance, stay the course and allow the Universe to work. Don’t forget to savor the process by being grateful at every peck of the way.
Believing in something bigger than ourselves (God, the Universe or whatever name we call the highest Divine power) helps us to remain hopeful even in trying moments. It gives us the serenity to be able to focus and work on what we can do now and not occupy our thoughts on what is out of our control including unknown future outcomes. When we can fully focus on the potential that this moment has, we create at our maximum, even in trying moments.

—Divine love is unconditional and flows without interruption of the ego which would question if the person’s malicious action towards us deserves our love in return.
—Divine love would see that such malicious action came from a person who is probably broken and is in need of love.
—Divine love would not wish ill on the person in return but would wish them healing and inner peace for themselves first and also for preventing them hurting others.

Everything happens “for you” and not “to you” when following Divine guidance or your intuition (your soul’s guidance). When faced with any such situation, ask the question, “what is the Universe (God) trying to tell me here?”. Then be neutral to receive the answer. You will know what it is when it feels right. If you don’t see it; feel it; or are led to it right away, calm those limiting thoughts until they are gone. Then be neutral and ask again. Take the good message received and navigate smoothly forward.

Attachment to a “thing”, outside of ourselves, for our happiness can give us a false sense of security. The more the attachment, the greater is the illusion that we cannot do without “it”. We may try to control “it” for fear of losing “it”, not realizing that “it” really controls us. Being able to be part of something without an attachment to it gives us more control of our peace of mind and hence our happiness. (A soul connection is not considered outside of ourselves.)

Feeling overpowered by the other? Chances are, you are in a low vibration or off-balance. Or maybe you are feeling separated from the other because of their self-righteous judgment.
Every part of us has its place so working to reintegrate that part that feels overwhelmed or abandoned or rejected that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love – which helps us to connect to ourself first and then the other in a healthy way.

Was your emotional pain caused because your expectations of them weren’t met? Were your expectations of them fair to them? Are you trying to heal from the experience or do you think remaining mad at them and/or withholding your love from them will give you justice? But, should you only give them your love as a reward for meeting your expectations? Unconditional love should also include giving them your love even if they can’t meet your needs because they have to tend to their needs first.

Be gloriously “flawed”. See your outer physical “imperfections” in the right light. You’re here to be authentic and true to your soul while evolving spiritually.

If it is a similar situation to a past one, this time around you should be able to view it from a higher perspective by using the lessons learned from the similar past experience. You would know for sure that you have broken the old pattern of limiting behavior if you do something this time that puts you closer to achieving your highest aspirations.
