Life Packaging | by Madisyn Taylor We have all had the experience of encountering someone whose life seems so completely different from ours that we can almost imagine we have nothing in common. However, if we go deeper into observing, we will see that we all have the same things going on in our lives. It is as if our different lives are in essence the same gift, wrapped in an infinite variety of containers, wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows. Everybody experiences loss, grief, happiness, excitement, anger, and fear. Everyone can have money issues of one kind or another, and everyone struggles with difficult choices. Our lives show up differently for each one of us because we each learn in different ways. One person may need to learn the value of money by having too little of it, while another may need to learn by having more than enough. We each learn about work and love, with experiences that are tailored to our particular perspective. Even as it appears that some people have it easy while others are in a continual state of struggle, the truth is that we are all learning, and it is very difficult to tell, when looking only at the exterior of a person, what's going on inside. This is one of the many things that can be so valuable about cultivating relationships with people from all walks of life. As we get to know those who seem so different from us, we get to really see how much of life's challenges and joys are universal. We begin to look beyond the packaging of skin color, clothing preferences, and socioeconomic differences, hairstyles, and the cars we drive to the heart of the human experience. It is important to honor and value the differences in our packaging, but it is just as important to honor the gift of life inside each one of us, and the fact that, no matter how different the packaging, the gift inside is the same. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Angela Montano Our lives are defined by our relationships. Some bring us overwhelming joy, sublime support and deep connection. If only every relationship could be so easy. Unfortunately, we spend too much of our energy obsessing and ruminating over our challenging relationships; the ones that leave us feeling ashamed, broken, guilty, unappreciated or unworthy. We focus on how these relationships are lacking, how they should be different, and how we can fix them. Albert Einstein reminded us that "we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that we used when we created them." So, how do we shift our mindset and open our hearts? How do we change our experiences and find more meaning, more connection and more support in all our relationships--with ourselves and the people in our lives? A miraculous shift happens when you invite a spiritual perspective to your relationships and surrender all your troubles to prayer. Practiced thousands of years before the first religions were formed, prayer belongs to everyone--including you--no matter what your background or beliefs. Prayer is the language of your soul, and unites you with your deepest power. It enables you to reach beyond your limited sense of self to embrace your innate wisdom and new possibilities. During this eight-week course you'll experience an entirely new way of relating to others, yourself, your world and your divine nature. You'll let go of power struggles, judgments and drama as you open up to new experiences of richer connection and harmony. This profound course lovingly guides you to the very soul of your relationships, where you'll be centered in love--regardless of your circumstances. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
