Of all people, this applies foremost to our partners and our children. Forgiveness, compassion, and letting be are spiritually vital qualities. This allows others the space to grow in their own time and in their way. Although we cannot force the issue of another’s development, being around a spiritually aware individual provides many growth opportunities.”
