Attitude
A
beautiful story with a message. There was once a clever businessman who, while crossing a river, fell
in. Not knowing how to swim, he started shouting for help. A traveler who was
walking along the bridge thought he would help him. So, he bent down and
extended his hand, saying “give me your hand”.
The
drowning man said, "No, I won't give you my hand". The man who was
trying to save him understood that he has never developed a habit of giving.
So, he told him, "can you at least HOLD my hand?” the man said, "yes”,
and was pulled to safety.
If we
look at the attitude of both, we understand how important it is to give.

Source of energy
We
seldom nurture our inner child. Since childhood, we are trained at the
conscious mind level to share, to give, to do things for others. But never
taught that it is equally important to love our inner child. Some children are
also abused for their ways. These kids grow up to subdue or even kill their
inner child because the signals they have received very early in life is that this
inner child is non functional. That it is that part of the personality that is
not required.
But
this inner child is the core of love. A child is very loving and very
spontaneous. Imagine, if this source is turned off, how this child would
survive as an adult. On arid ground. Without water.
I don't think there is anything more
detrimental than a lack of self love and the inability to get or feel that love
from others. Love keeps the softness within us alive. Be sure that those who
have a hardened exterior need love and frequent hugs more than others. Because
they show a facade and suppress a lot. Just like those who love attention and a
lot of limelight are deeply insecure.
There
is no alternative but love, to love yourself, to care and have compassion for
yourself first and then for others because they are fashioned in a similar way
to you and have the same source of energy to draw from. And therefore, connected.
