Filling the World with Love

Filling the world with Love is the gift each of us is here to achieve.  Yes, I believe that our greatest achievements come when we are totally and completely GIVING LOVE to every person, circumstance, and opportunity that comes through our day.  By giving- freely and generously- of ourselves...and without grumbling or complaint...we can and will gain mastery of our own selves.  This is how we achieve our destiny...not by being perfect because that is not the Way...but by being HAPPY.  Love is Happiness and overflowing generosity.  Could you imagine every person in your life and you also, being that way every day?  Try it.  Picture it. 

Now let's analyze this for a moment.  How do we get to this place of Happiness and contentment?  I used to find it very challenging too.  But I have devoted much time and effort to discovering it and here are a few steps that have worked for me:

1.  Ask your God or your Spirit guide to open your eyes and your heart to understand.
2.  Quietly listen, look and meditate.  The answers present themselves in each thing you see and hear and feel around you.
3.  Stop relying on the obvious answer or the immediate dilemma..this is spiritual near-sightedness and it will not help you.  Ask yourself if there is not something more....
4.  Believe what your instincts are telling you.

These steps may seem simple, but this is how it works.  There will be times when the ones we love require some toughening up...maybe not even a loved one- perhaps a client, co-worker or even a boss or employee?  every person in our lives has been placed there for some purpose.  In some cases, a person or situation is in our lives so that we may choose to turn away from them.  If that is the case, you will not know it without relying on your intuitive guide (your heart).  You must believe in yourself.  You must have an opinion...on everything...at all times.  If a person is showing you that they need to be loved, then love them.  If they need practical assistance (money, a babysitter, food) then give it...and give more than they asked for because you will receive it back ten times over.  Likewise if a person is demonstrating they are ignorant, then be their mirror and reflect it back gently by ignoring them.  Just turn away.  Do not give energy of thought to their slight or insult.  Do not fuel their anger but walk away.

Something of interest to me is how people tend to reach out to others and then pull away when their friends or loved ones come close to be there for them.  This is because ultimately we are all selfish.  We all have moments when we are motivated more by our selfish desires (I am hungry; I am tired; I am arguing; i need a break; I want alone time).  It is this selfishness that impairs our ability to truly love others.  If I am demonstrating I love you and gaining your trust and your friendship or pehaps helping you through a difficult time, you must allow yourself to remain open or you cut off the relationship.  Love means being open and honest...easier said then done.

When you begin to feel real honest love for yourself...you really change. That is when you discover what life really has to offer.  It is bitterasweet because when your eyes are truly open, you can see all things for what they really are and not what they wish for you to believe they are.
