For a long time I thought that I had to give everything
to everyone...
That was how I would show love and be loved...
I don’t feel that way anymore. ..that isn’t what I believe love
is today
What I practice today looks different from what I practiced
in my past….I confused brotherly love and quite frankly intimate love with co-dependency….not
healthy for me and not healthy for you….
Today I understand love in a way I have never understood it
before. I understand romantic love, brotherly love, family love and the love I
have for my spiritual guider and most
importantly….love for myself. ..
I was blessed to face a crisis a year ago that helped me
understand this kind of love…
People loved me so much they let me go…
People loved me so much they wouldn’t let me go…
People loved me so much they let me be insane…
People loved me so much they drug me from the insanity and
showed me the light…
People loved me until I could love myself….that is for real
People loved me so much they were honest with me
People loved me so much they taught me to be honest with myself
Today and every day I wake up and I say out loud “how can I
come from a place of love today”
I feel like I have the obligation and responsibility to
operate from a place of love…not for recognition, rewards or to get something
back…
For myself….
I am not perfect but what I do is work to……..
Accept people and love them unconditionally
I love myself enough today that I say no to people….I don’t
strip myself spiritually or emotionally because of another…
I have clear and healthy boundaries and loving myself and
others sometimes means sticking close to those boundaries
I answer the phone if it rings, I meet people if they want
to meet and I listen…I accept people for who they are…
The most important thing I have learned this year and try to
practice every day, although not perfect….is coming from a place of love and
helpfulness and acceptance of fellow humans without expectations of anything in
return…
What I think the secret to serenity and happiness is……
Love with a pure and honest heart, give and receive, listen
and talk, help and ask for help, and in the end and most important….don’t expect
anyting in return……
Don’t be afraid to try and live like this…don’t be afraid to
love and help others…don’t be afraid to love and help yourself
Your life will change for the better…..if you practice this
simple philosophy….I did and mine did…
