Spreading the Love

While we can often become tangled in our own webs of complexity, it is helpful to remember that the gift of simplicity is always nearby for us. Only one step away, looking into the direction of what is already good and healthy in our lives – of what we are most grateful for – only creates more goodness for us. When we look only towards our problems and issues, we can become easily bogged down with feelings of heaviness and discouragement. Lightening up allows for us to embrace a ‘whatever goes’ mentality, thereby creating healthy change for ourselves and for those around us.

LOVE is the natural state of being for all of humanity. There is not a soul on the planet who is not capable of recognizing and responding to love’s gentle tenderness. When we are able to uncover genuine love within ourselves, we also become able to spark and awaken the same flame in others. We can be an inspiration to others right now! We needn’t wait for our lives to be perfect, or until we have everything figured out. Instead, we simply need to BELIEVE, and begin creating the change we wish to see in our world…right now. Joy is found in the simplest of life’s pleasures, and each moment you are here is another opportunity to start becoming the person you wish to be.

The more we give of ourselves naturally and effortlessly, the more we open to receive the graces of divine love and comfort. Be the stranger who waits patiently in line behind someone who is taking too long…and smile at her reassuringly when she looks around nervously. To another who has been kind to you, look him in the eyes and open your heart when you say “thank you”. Shining your light of sincerity helps us all to illuminate the path back home to ourselves.
