first let me thank you for writing the cwg books. i have been searching my entire life for answers. not finding any, of course, until cwg one. when i read your book it just rang true in my heart...thank you...on to the question...
i do have thing that i do not understand. i understand when you speak of no right or wrong...that the universe answers in kind..you plant good seeds you will get good back..there is my problem...i have lived my entire life adhering to the golden rule...i have treated without exception everyone i have come into contact like i would want to be treated however it seems the people that i have had in my life has never heard of the golden rule.
i have suffered alot of abuse in my life...physcial, mental, verbal..just let me say this.. it has not been good..by the people that i have loved most in my life...now that i am in my early fifties...with not to many years ahead...i am beginning to think that that no matter how good of a person you are and how you try to help others it doesn't matter...what you get back from them is what you get good or bad..in my case mostly bad...i have tried to change and not be giving and caring but it was to difficult for me i love being kind to people helping whenever i can and giving what i can...
believe me it is not that i want paid back that is the furtherst thing from my mind...what i would like is love.. kindness..appreciation...some peace. i know in the cwg books it says when you want something to happen..that i can make it happen...god knows i have tried...i hope this makes some sense it is hard to put my feelings into words...i love god with all that is in me and i know that he watches over me...i hope he sees just how tried i am....also i wanted to say i love your web site..i log on to it every day to listen to you and the excerpts from cwg..thanks again for all you have done...
Neale's Response:
My dear Laura….I hear your words of sadness and my heart goes out to you in fullness and in deep gratitude for all you have done for others in your life.
When I was a young man all I received on my report card were A’s in English and in Composition, etc. Then the counselor in my high school decided that I belonged in an advanced class, because I was so far ahead of the students in my own group. So I was placed, during my sophomore year, in College English Lit. All the other kids were seniors, except for two juniors. I was the only sophomore.
When my grades came, I got a C—the first grade under an A I ever got in Language Arts. I went to my mom complaining about how I never would be getting such a bad grade if I had been kept in a lower class, a class for kids my age. My mom said something to me then that I never forgot, Laura—and I find myself wanting to repeat it to you now…
“To the best students…go the most difficult lessons.”
Laura, difficult as it may be to accomplish this—we are all humans, after all—try not to focus on all the difficult challenges you have faced and the bad things that have happened to you, and look instead that your own choice to continue to be loving to others in the face of it all. This says more about you and Who You Are than one hundred thousand good days that could come your way.
I know that all you want in your life now is a little love and a little peace. But you have that already. It could not come through you to others if it was not within you. If you will look at the love that you give others, you will see yourself as having that. Once you change your perspective about this, you will see others sending their love to you in very unexpected ways.
Finally, say this little affirmation, Laura, 21 times each morning and 21 times each evening. Say it silently in the quiet of your mind: “All the love I could ever want is coming to me now. Thank you, God.”
I am so glad that you have written to me, my friend. God bless you as you continue your remarkable journey of dispensing love and caring to those whose lives you touch.
You inspire me!
Neale.
