 Something I have learned in Unity, is humility. I make mistakes all the time.
Growing up, my dad used to tell me I had too much pride, as I would not say, “Sorry, that was my fault”. It was always someone else who did something wrong! Normally my younger sister, bless her, who only ever really wanted our loving attention. Of course, I was the same: I wanted everyone to like me and love me. In my mind, if I did something wrong, they wouldn’t. And that was too hard to bear. We carry so many hard and painful beliefs from childhood, which as adults, seek transformation. Over the years, I have had to admit – yes that was me! For the little things it is not so bad – but it is still hard for the big things. The thought of failure – not being loved because I did something wrong, is difficult to feel. Yet feel it I must, to find inner healing and peace. Today, I am learning to honour my humanity which makes mistakes. It keeps me real and like everyone else. It also gives me an opportunity to soften my mind and heart – to give my inner child a loving hug, tell her it is OK. To experience healing. Everyone makes mistakes. The loving hug tells her she is still loved, no matter what. From this beautiful inner space of healing and love, it is so much easier to be fully present to others and say sorry. But I know, I must do my inner work for me, first. Knowing, without doubt, that I am loved, through and by Source/God energy, enables humility and healing. It reassures me that, even in my imperfect humanity, Spirit in me is perfect. Spirit is all of us is perfect. In our humanity is our divinity.
