How many "painful" relationships exist in your life—past or present?
We all have them. It's a normal part of life.
But I recently had the most profound realization that completely flipped the way I view these types of relationships.
I'm going to use my dad as an example because this is how the lesson was shown to me.
If you know me personally or have followed me for a while, you may know that my dad wasn't around when I was growing up. It has been a tricky subject to navigate most of my life.
But I've been shown that we all have soul contracts with each other. We make agreements with each other before we come here into our human forms.
So, before my dad and I came here in this lifetime, we made a promise to each other that the nature of our relationship would be just as it is.
That it is important for it to be challenging and painful. That I was meant to experience abandonment and have to work hard to have healthy relationships with men.
That all of this is what my soul needed to learn in this lifetime.
And even if it's hard for my dad to show up this way—he made this promise to me and upholding it is an act of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
Until I came into this knowing, I had never felt loved by my dad. Now I see the nature of our relationship as a blessing and deeply loving on a completely different level.
How could this lesson apply to the relationships in your life? To ex-lovers, old bosses, fizzled out friendships?
Can you see the loving soul contracts at play within your most "painful" relationships?
