Your dedication to your family or loved ones could make you feel a greater sense of commitment to them today. It might be that because of the bonds you share, you find that it is necessary to support them, even if it may lead to some sort of discomfort. While it is natural to want to either stand up for or do something difficult for your loved ones, perhaps today you can look on your loved ones not only from within the perspective of your closeness but also as individual people who have problems. Detaching slightly from the people who are close to you could provide you with a different vantage point from which to view their issues. Doing this today can help you see them as fellow humans who also wish for happiness, which can make it easier to hold them in a space of even greater compassion.

Appreciating our loved ones as people allows us to bring a different level of understanding into our interactions. We are so close to our family or friends, so it is all too easy for us to get deeply and emotionally involved in their lives. When this happens, the help we give them may not be completely from our hearts but due to our relationships. Stepping back just slightly today, however, will let you see the beauty that exists in your loved ones and make it possible to support them with every part of your being.
