Try to catch yourself when someone reaches out to you in compassion and avoid the mental knee jerk reaction intent on rejecting the heart connection that is offered by pushing the other away.

Even when you are being treated unkindly, and seemingly with no compassion, the path of service to others teaches acceptance of that experience by embracing it in love while also finding acceptance and love for your mind’s reaction, be it anger, sadness, or anything else.

When this acceptance has been mastered in love, you will notice that the catalyst – in the form of presented experiences – will come to an end, as it will find balance and peace naturally.
