"Our understanding of a Higher Power is up to us.... The only suggested guidelines are that this Power be loving, caring, and greater than ourselves." (NA reflection)
I love this one! It leaves the door open for any spiritual connection. Through love and caring, we have two principles that cover a wide spectrum. If just these two principles could stay on the forefront of our I minds I could only imagine the effect it would have on our environments. I can testify that this has started to work in my life through a power much greater than me. These principles go along with what we put out is what we receive. I know for me, I only want to be surrounded by people that have love for me or genuinely care about me and my well-being. So, I try to put out a universal language of love which seems to open the door for me to receive it. This has also repelled negative energies. It causes my intuition to heighten which allows me to sense a bad environment. Which leads us to another gift that is received from being loving, the ability to tolerate. I have heard that love and tolerance together could be a code to life. This allows me to have compassion and continue to spread kindness into a space which should be intolerable. By practicing these core principles, I have learned acceptance, to tolerate situations or people that I do not necessarily agree with. At the end of the day, loving or caring about someone would also mean being accepting of them for who they are because we don’t always know what someone has gone through or walked in their shoes. One Love <3
