It matters not how pure the air you breathe or how nutritious the food you eat, without love you are never completely the healthy cosmic being you're here to express and feel. Just as a raging river replenishes a deep blue sea, love replenishes your heart with incredible energy. Without love your spirit is sluggish, your life listless, and the natural light of your personality cannot shine bright.
It's often said that love is blind. Well it is -- love is blind to the opinion that humans are flawed. What the condemning mind calls flawed, love considers essential to your unique perfection. It's love's perspective that saturates your spirit with inspirational dissatisfaction when there's something you want to change about yourself. "Why sleep?" you think, as love awakens your receptivity to further growth and advancement. And so it is proven that love's blind sight is actually the epitome of seeing in ways that are wonderfully freeing.
Seeing what the judgmental mind calls "a flaw" as part of your unique perfection places you in a transformative state where you feel alive, awake, and eager to participate in the unfolding of your fate. In this state of consciousness not only is your spirit regenerated and your heart revitalized, also you are elevated to a level of self-awareness where nothing can ruffle your eagerness to express and experience newness within yourself.
Whenever you are inspirationally dissatisfied with something about yourself, your ideals move beyond longing for change into an experience of delightful anticipation. Your attitude soars as you begin to roar, not about what's ending, but about a beautiful beginning toward a new destination. A soaring attitude is a conduit through which incredibly joyful and productive expressions flow. This indescribable state offers you fresh self-views that support breakthrough after breakthrough to wonderful new experiences of life and of you.
It's easy to whistle while you work and hum with delight when your relationship with yourself and life is right. For it is then that the whole of the creating cosmos comes alive in you. There are things, right now, that you can do to allow love to cleanse your sight so that you may see yourself and life right. Becoming acquainted with your unique perfection and establishing a supportive relationship with yourself is one of those things. Here are four ways to swing wide the door to that possibility.
- Be willing to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable is to be open to more than the usual. That is why it is said that "the meek shall inherit the earth." To be meek is not to be weak, but to be curious enough to be vulnerable and open to life's many opportunities for further growth and expansion. The caterpillar is completely vulnerable as it steps into the closet - its cocoon state - where metamorphosis begins. That kind of vulnerability is incredibly empowering.
- Communicate allowance and acceptance in all of your affairs. Yes, in every matter large and small - lighten up. There are no walls to break down, only illusions that arise from harsh judgments and condemning opinions. Think in terms of resolution and absolution, never punishment or condemnation. When you make it your mission to seek harmony in all that you do, a wave of sweet communion is released within you. And love gushes to you and flows from you into healing expression, blessing everyone you touch. What you do unto others, you have done to yourself. Believe this wholeheartedly and act on it daily, and all of your experiences will be filled with good fortune.
- Don't approach love mathematically. Love is an immeasurable absolute. Stop classifying things in terms of how much you love them. Love is the reality of all things, and is ever expansive. That phenomenon can never be categorized or compartmentalized. Children do not give meaning to love, nor do they calculate or evaluate it. They simply express it, and they find that their loving expressions need no preparation. Be like that child again.
- Learn to accept disappointments gracefully. Never force love into a situation. Relax and trust that love is everywhere. No condition in life can be lifted up to love by trying to conquer it or run away from it. Have faith in the fact that love is available in every situation, and soon your whole being will leap with joyful anticipation. Consider this tip earnestly, take it seriously and you will find nothing left in your personality that will attract disharmony. For you will have opened the door to your heart wide, and all that you see shows promise of goodness and beauty. Hence, it shall come to pass in your life.
And now you are ready. You've always been worthy. Use the above tips wisely, and you'll find yourself venturing forward toward the greatest of all of life's treasures -- a glad heart overflowing with love.
"I was flattered by my illusions of being better than others, and yet I was ashamed of who I was, and would never be caught standing naked. Ah to get back to that state of blissful innocence where love is all there is." -- Rob White (from his latest book, The Ultimate Understanding)
