People are not a project
I love projects, I am a natural at looking around in my environment to identify what can be improved or enhanced. Envisioning the transformation, setting goals and working towards it step by step.
It’s why I’ve renovated nearly every home I’ve lived in, it’s why I was a successful landscape designer for over a decade.
What’s important to remember is that people are not a project.
They are autonomous, independent human beings with their own thoughts, beliefs and unique personal growth timeline.
Each person will progress at their own pace, no faster, no slower. They take the path that is uniquely theirs.
When we view each other like a project, rather than respecting each other’s sovereignty, we disregard the spiritual lessons each are meant to experience.
Empaths in particular, struggle with this concept. We connect with almost everyone at a soul level. We sense and recognize every person’s Divinity.
What often becomes confusing is when there is a disconnect, a disparity between soul energy and human behavior.
Souls are eternal and we chose every experience to learn and grow.
Human behavior is complex, built upon influences, traumas and triumphs we undergo through a series of lifetimes.
Some of our behavior is altruistic and healthy, some of it is not. Most of our actions are motivated by simply trying to get our needs met. The need for safety and security, belonging, connection or uncovering the deeper meaning for our lives.
We play out these human roles to hone our spiritual skills.
As we practice, we move closer and closer to communion with Source, with Oneness.
When we view someone else as a project, as something we could enhance to make them more in alignment with our ideal, we fall into the role of a rescuer, a fixer. We believe we know best.
We deny that God and their soul has chosen exactly where they are for a greater reason.
So how do you release the need to treat others like a project?
Turn your eyes inward. Pay attention to your own journey.
Notice the lessons coming up for you. Practice and then practice some more.
Hold others in loving kindness as they walk their path, exactly as they are. Release judgment and the what ifs.
It’s incredible that empaths can sense the Divine spark in everyone we meet.
It’s also okay to say this human behavior is not working for me.
To set a boundary, to know what you need to be healthy and happy.
To renovate your own self within.
