Are you consistent with everyone? Do you share with the same passion with the people you dislike as those you love?
If you want to stay connected to the Tree of Life, then you must be concerned with the energy of sharing, period. As my father and teacher Rav Berg teaches me,
"a candle lights its surroundings in the same way regardless of whether it is surrounded by light or by darkness. We must behave in the same manner, spreading Light regardless of the behavior of those around us."
An exercise for today is to look for people you have no desire to share with; someone you are angry with or don't like or don't respect or you name it. Go against the urge to walk away from them, and instead some to really give them something that they need in the moment, be it understanding, a smile, an apology, and so on. But don't just go through the motions — really feel it inside. That's the only what it will be real, and that's when you're channeling the energy of the Light.
