Commit Random Acts of Kindness I: Don’t Overwhelm Younger Souls With The Wisdom It Took You Centuries To Gain!

How much patience and compassion do you have for your fellow travelers? Do you ever find yourself saying things like: “I would never do that”, or “ I just don’t understand why he/she doesn’t fix it; I already told them how to”, or “ the issue that they are dealing with is really not that hard, it should have been fixed ages ago”, or “my intuition showed me clearly that it’s all their stuff and has nothing to do with me”.

Do people ever reflect back to you that you are harsh, given unsolicited feedback, that you are being arrogant, that you overwhelm people or that you get snappy and impatient when your advice and wisdom isn’t put to proper use?

If any of this sound familiar (and please for everyone’s sake, let’s be brutally honest here), it might be time to ease up a bit on the world around you! Life on planet earth is challenging and it takes thousands of years to learn certain lessons. If you, as an old soul, have mastered certain lessons, good for you! Now please, check your past life records and remind yourself that you didn’t get there overnight. In fact, look at the areas of your life that you are currently struggling with and see how much time and energy you have already spent into “fixing” it. Imagine some enlightened master coming along and telling you to get over it. How loved would that make you feel? Would you experience that kind of approach as supportive and constructive?

I know that I wouldn’t!

We all desire to be seen and met, where we are at in our evolution.

Picture a kid in school. When that kid enters first grade he/she will be excited to learn the alphabet, if you come along and demand an essay on Shakespeare and get impatient, the kid might be discouraged to even learn how to read and write because he/she will experience himself/herself as a failure. If the same kid gets taught the skills with love and patience he/she will want to excel and feel good about himself/herself and in a few years he/she will be able to write the essay.

A music student who is tone deaf will not become a concert pianist. Would you yell at him/her because you happen to have a perfect pitch?

In these examples, it is very obvious what we can expect from a fellow human being.

However, the stages of soul evolution aren’t always as apparent.

A person playing the part of your boss, your parent, your older sibling might all be in truth much younger souls who have a lot less earthly life experience.

Gauge the person’s soul age instead of getting confused by their physical appearance.

When you find yourself saying: “ She is my mother, she should know better”, or

“I am twenty years younger, I shouldn’t have to explain this over and over”. Think again!

If you find you are annoyed and losing your patience, it is a wonderful opportunity to work on compassion and to become a kinder more effective spiritual mentor.

Treat others the way you would want to be treated if you came across a more evolved being than yourself.

Gauge others evolutionary capacities and meet them exactly where they are.

You will be amazed at what a difference this can make and how much more open younger souls will be to actually listen to what you have to say!
