This is Elizabeth with Happiness Tip of the Day.
Why is it so important to send compassion to parents and ancestors?
Everything you judge,
You repeat.
Everything you send compassion to and accept and welcome with an open heart can give you energy.
Your past,
Everything that went before you,
Can give you a lot of energy or it can take your energy away.
When you're compassionate towards everything that went before you,
You get that strength,
You get that energy.
When you look at your reality with open hearted love and acceptance and warmth and openness,
It gives you energy,
It gives you strength.
That's why it's important to have compassion toward absolutely everything,
Including the past,
Including the present,
And of course,
Including your future self.
And the way we're compassionate to our future self is asking,
What can I do now that my future self will be grateful for?
Is the choice I'm making right now,
Is that a choice?
Myself in two days,
20 years,
40 years will be grateful for and make those choices.
