Hello my dear friend,
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!”
Learn more about Lisa and her book.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this email. I hope it will bring blessings to your life.
With love,
Chunyi
