Sharing

I hope you are inspired by this piece i wrote for Gwyneth Paltrow's site: http://goop.com/newsletter/87/

blessings, michael

Life is about exciting others and making them feel special. When we do that, we multiply the blessings that can flow into our life.

Today, make others around you feel better, like they can do anything.

If we have the opportunity to help a person we like or another we dislike, we will receive the greatest light from sharing with the latter.

Certainty, Truth, Sharing‏

Today, I want to remind you of three points to hold onto that can give you the momentum to succeed:

1. Certainty - Remove cushions and take risks. This allows you to connect to the Light in yourself, in others, and in your life's mission.

2. Truth - Masks keep you from experiencing your true potential in every aspect of life.

Whatever we have - money, wisdom or time - that we can share with others, is on loan to us. Only if we share them are we given more.

We have the power to awaken blessings for others, bless someone today and focus to awaken the supernal light for that blessing to manifest.

When we share with agenda, we tend to get disappointed if our help is neglected or misunderstood.

Today, release all expectation from your sharing - except for wanting to remove the veil of your ego and reveal your true potential.

The Zohar explains that the only way we can help others is by taking upon ourselves a little bit of their pain and difficulty. Very often we have a true desire to help our children, friends, spouses, and students, and so we teach them, or advise them, or give to them in some form.

A kabbalistic lesson on how to care for the souls that come into our lives

Those of us involved with teaching others – and all of us are teachers to one degree or another, whether it’s for our children, friends, or colleagues – have a great responsibility in our hands. We must remember that at all times we are dealing with souls.

The other night I was studying with my son David, and we read a story I’ve read countless times, and yet it spoke to me in a new way.

Kabbalistic teachings are often based on the concept of as you act, so acts the Light of the Creator, meaning the way you treat others is how the Creator treats you.

Therefore, if we want the Light to continuously share with us blessings and goodness, then we need to cultivate a consciousness of continuously looking to share with others.
