If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.
Pema Chodron
This is SO true.
It is easy to open our hearts to those who are like us, agree with us and love us back. However, the real lessons come when we open our hearts to our enemies. Jesus said to love your enemy and to turn the other cheek. Our "enemies" teach us some of your most important lessons. We should try and learn to look at people who annoy us and anger us as people sent to us via our own karma to teach us a vital lesson. It's like lifting weights which cause our muscles pain. That is when you gain the most muscle.
-Peace to you all-
