Here’s their story …

In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV, one very unique couple won one of the top prizes. The lady, in her 30′s, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years. Someone then asked her to coach a Children’s dancing group. From that point on, she realized that she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So, she started to do some of her old routines, but having lost her arm, she had also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even make simple turns and spins without falling.

Then she heard of a man in his 20s who had lost a leg in an accident. He had also fallen into the usual denial, depression, and anger type of emotional roller coaster. But she determined to find him and persuade him to dance with her. He had never danced, and to “dance with one leg….are you joking with me? No way!” But, she didn’t give up, and he reluctantly agreed thinking, “I have nothing else to do anyway.”

She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to control his body, and knew none of the basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually, they came back together and started training seriously. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horizontally supported by one leg with her leaning on him, etc. In the competition, as you will see, they dance beautifully and they legitimately won the competition.”

I read something the other day I want to share with you.

“People can only love you to the capacity that they are able to love themselves. They can only forgive and embrace you to the capacity that they are able to forgive and embrace themselves. They can only give you what they have the capacity to give.”

“It’s not your responsibility to grow other people. Your responsibility is to love them right where they are.”

I couldn’t feel more strongly about those words if I’d written them myself.
They were written by my friend Lisa Nichols. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know her over the past few years. Lisa is one of those wonderful people who lives what she teaches.

Much like me, Lisa grew up in very difficult circumstances. She was raised in a very poor and dangerous community, often in fear for her life. She could easily have become a bitter, angry and resentful person. It didn’t happen overnight, but she became just the opposite.

It was qigong that transformed my life in an instant. Lisa’s journey has been different than mine but we’ve come to the same understanding of the power of love.

Lisa discovered how to transform her life by opening her heart. The work she has done with teenagers growing up in similar circumstances to hers is truly a blessing.

In her new book, No Matter What, Lisa tells her story of transformation and gives us the steps she discovered that led her to opening her heart.

“Understanding is an inner shift that brings about huge returns in the external world. It frees you from anger and pain and allows you to move through life with more energy, purpose and joy–no matter what!”

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this email. I hope it will bring blessings to your life.

With love,
