To move into SELF-LOVE, you must let go of all old anger and hatreds. To continue carrying around anger and hatred is the ultimate act of self-sabotage. Just like an electrical storm, nothing will shorten out the hearts’ ability to love and receive love quicker than holding onto these destructive energies. Instead of being satisfied with a momentary sense of power that anger can produce, take your full power back from these toxic energies by healing those old wounds. Be…..
Much love to Bangladesh. Don’t let those who are bloodthirsty cause you to become like them. Stay rooted in love and have faith that love is the only antidote for hate. Don’t let those who spout we must fight fire with fire convince you that the only way towards peace is with war. In truth, the only way towards peace is through understanding, cooperation, and harmony. Eventually, enough of us on this planet will understand that killing in any form…..
When you begin the work of reclaiming SELF-LOVE, you naturally begin to understand how your world is created: IMAGINATION combined with EMOTION creates WORLDS. Do you use your gift of imagination to create more fear or more love? What kind of world are you creating? Do you imagine the worst-case scenario fueling it with dread and fear? Do you imagine that people are out to get you boosting it with hatred and distrust? Do you imagine never living your dreams feeding it…..
When your being is rooted in SELF-LOVE, you no longer look for others’ approval or confirmation of what is or is not possible. You trust yourself as the ultimate authority of what is possible for you. Many people spout limiting beliefs as if they are universal truths when in fact they are simply ideas whose validity have gone unchallenged. Beliefs can be like rocks tying you down or like balloons lifting you higher. …..
In my long life, I have seen many hateful acts, but it is the REBEL ACTS OF LOVE that changed my heart. The brave civil rights marchers of the 1960’s who yearned for fairness and justice. The courageous women who took to the streets in the 1970’s to demand their rights as equals to men. The outspoken gays who refused to stay in the closet in the 1980’s pressing the country to deal with AIDS ethically and with compassion. Those decades…..
Why do we listen to our heads and not our hearts? Why do so few allow their hearts to be the compass they were meant to be? Why do so many see the heart as weak or untrustworthy? Deep within your heart is a remembrance that you are cherished, valued, and loved. Your heart knows there is nothing in your makeup that is wrong or unlovable. Your heart knows your dreams and hopes and has kept them safe…..
The path back to self-love must be taken alone. Only you know where you lost your way in the darkness. Only you know where the bumps in the road changed your direction. Only you know where fear became your compass. Only you know where you decided you were not equipped for the journey. Only you know where you lost you! So be brave and return to that place on the road…..
KINDNESS is not for the faint of heart. KINDNESS is for the strong hearted. It takes strength to offer a hand rather than judgment. It takes strength to look into a stranger’s eyes and see a friend. It takes strength to see beauty where others only see ugliness. It takes strength to listen rather than turning away. It takes strength to speak softly when all others are shouting. It takes strength to offer love…..
When your being is rooted in the truth of self-love, you are free to blossom into who you were always meant to be. An orchid doesn’t dream to be something different. It doesn’t compare itself to a rose. It doesn’t try to prove its worth. It doesn’t doubt its beauty. It doesn’t look to be something other than what it is. While an orchid may start out fragile and need tender care to be all that it can…..
When your being is rooted in SELF-LOVE, you enable the universe to shine its light through your reflection for all to see. WHEN you value yourself, you naturally prompt others to recognize their value. WHEN you are forgiving and compassionate with yourself, you give others permission to act with forgiveness and compassion. WHEN you are gentle and kind with yourself, you awaken the power of benevolence in others. WHEN you choose to celebrate who are, you invite others to…..
