There is only love

Love is our greatest gift. It is in giving and receiving love that we thrive. One would then think that our capacity for love would be exercised 24 hours a day by everyone on the planet. This capacity is growing on a daily basis and yet can be overshadowed by our fear and shame both of which are self-imposed. Our natural state is that of love. Think of the final words that people share when they know that their time here is ending through disaster and tragedy. We hear the voice and text messages sent to tell those affected that they are loved. Have you ever heard of someone sending a final message to someone telling them how much they were hated or feared? If you knew that your time to live was limited, what message would you be sending? The reality is that your time here IS limited, so why not spend it in a state of love as opposed to fear and shame? Ask yourself what your level of self love is at this moment. It is difficult to share with others what you lack in yourself. Remind yourself of your value and the difference you can make in the lives of others based on that value. No one is here by accident and that includes you. Practice random acts of love and kindness towards yourself as well as others. Uncover the foundations of your fear and shame and be willing to cast them off for they serve no purpose in your growth and development. Focus only on how love can be expressed in your life. The world will be a better place because of it. How can you express love towards yourself and others today?
