I was having a conversation with my younger sister this morning after breakfast and we were discussing a topic that made in impact to her life.  There are words in a passage of a book that state, "you cannot transmit something you do not have".  This transcends the typical material idea of perhaps money, which again is true if you do not have this then you cannot give it away either.  Our discussion centered on the more deeper meaning that was related to this.  The concepts such as; happiness that cannot be shared with someone else if you are not happy, love cannot be given if you do not have love for your own self, or even forgiveness that you may not be able to grant to someone else if you cannot forgive yourself first.  These are topics with substance, however, they are meaningful areas of discussion that one should periodically take a look at to see if any of these are causing a particular barrier in your own life.  In order for any of us to be able to share anything as deep as ourselves with someone else, one must be comfortable with who you are and what you represent, in order for it to be genuine.  We can all be quite critical about ourselves, which in turn can prevent us from feeling that we are capable of embracing others in the deeper sense.  One of the biggest hurdles in our ability to be able to accept others, forgive others and love others, begins with our own selves.  I spoke earlier this week about the feelings of unworthiness which can complicate matters and how we should expect more for ourselves.  In actuality we should be able to receive plenty from those people that have care and affection for us. Due to one reason or another we can prevent some of those good feelings from reaching us because of our own walls around us.  Therefore reflect on the fact that you can give more of yourself to others, by allowing yourself to accept that you have contributions to make and are filled with enough self confidence that you were indeed created for a greater purpose.
