Today, I'm going to share the best secret to help heal other people. Do you find yourself trying to help your family members, your loved ones, friends, clients, and you just don't know how else to get them to heal, to overcome their adversities, to rise up? This may be what you're missing. You need to start with yourself first. When you go through the journey of healing, when you go through that process of growth, you experience what it is that you're going to share and teach other people. And there are three things you need to pay attention to. Number one, you need to create awareness. Understanding your tendencies, your patterns, your. The identities that you've adopted. Looking inward to see yourself, to see the person you're being, as opposed to the person you were created to be. To identify that gap in between the two. To create awareness means you pay attention to what's preventing you from moving forward and rising up. The second thing that you get to pay attention to is, are you living in the present moment? We tend to live in the past and feel depressed and like, oh my gosh, if I had what I had before, or I want life to be that way. We're trying to change the past, but we don't have access to the past because really, time is an illusion. There's no past or future. The only time that exists is the now, because now was now in the past and now will be now in the future. So living in the present moment is the only way we have the power to change anything. And bringing yourself back there will empower you with the ability to make small adjustments in your life that will lead you to success. You get to pay attention to this whole concept of oneness. We are one with the universe under God. And this is a very hard term to understand, but you can look at it from many different perspectives. What we do impacts the people around us. We don't even realize, but people are always watching, starting with the little people in our homes. They're always looking at us and our behaviors, our words are going to affect the people around us. Imagine that we are a wave in the ocean. The ocean is one. But when we're playing in the water, we're like, oh, can we jump that wave? And that wave? We make that distinction, the separation. But in the end, it's one body of water. That's how we are with the universe. So understanding that living in the present moment, having awareness and realizing that we are one and whatever we do, say and experience is going to impact the people around us will give us the ability to go from knowing something oh, this is what you should do to heal, to understanding it in our core and to becoming wise about it. Because now we get to apply it to ourselves and we don't need to teach too much to other people, we get to embody it for them. So if you want to help someone else create awareness, live in the now and remember that you are one and you get to impact by just being.
