“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.” ~To Kill a Mockingbird

Everything in life is seen from our own perspective. No matter how much we want to walk in someone else’s shoes to understand them and the challenges they may have, it’s impossible.

Even if you do step into their shoes you will still see things through your own filters. The best thing any of us can do is not to judge but to listen and hear as clearly as we can; To be kind and compassionate with each other.

In order to heal or help someone else you must clear your own filters first. You don’t have to take on someone else’s energy and feel what they are feeling. Doing that will only cause you discomfort. When you look at someone with a level of neutrality it helps you understand and it is that understanding that will allow you to comfort another. It’s not necessary to actually “walk in” their shoes.

It’s also important to realize that at some level each of us has chosen our journey and it’s up to each of us individually to seek a level of understanding within ourselves. That’s when the true healing begins.

Acknowledge the journey of others with compassion and kindness. Find neutrality so you can clear your filters and see things in a different light, from a new perspective with a new level of understanding.~Shine Your Light Debbie

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.” – Marilyn Monroe

In honor of International Women’s Day I wanted to honor those women before us who have changed the world. They inspire us to do better, be stronger and create. These women have opened doors, empowered and given us strength to dream bigger. While there is not space enough here to list all the amazing women of history, the inspiration they provide can move us forward as women and urge each of us to be the best we can be.

Each of us has a task to inspire those around us for together we can change in the world. Women past and present who show us we have no boundaries or limits, those who inspire us to think differently and not let the status quo rule. They show us we can open doors where there once was a wall and that we can still be loving, beautiful women while breaking down barriers. They show us we don’t have to accept being “less than” and that we can be strong.

Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Elenore Roosevelt, Sandra Day O’Connor, Mother Teresa, Gloria Steinem, Helen Keller, Harriet Tubman, Golda Meir, Anne Frank, Elizabeth Warren, Malala Yousafzai…the list goes on and on.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!

How will you inspire other women? Will you open doors? Heal a broken heart? Pass legislation? Write a book? Be a friend? Hold a hand? Show love and kindness? Your contribution, whatever it may be, is important and valuable for it just may inspire other women. To women of the world, I honor you and your contribution past, present and future! Together we stand strong as we inspire each other to be the best we can be.~Shine Your Light Debbie
