Love
Love makes the world go round or so they say, and l have to say l believe it, for without love what do we have? Love is component of compassion, empathy, forgiveness, it is the outcome for which we all would like to have in our life. Without love what are we missing out on? The feeling of connectedness, not just to our family, our friends but the whole of humanity as we are all part of that Great Divine Spark. What do you want our legacy to be for our children our grandchildren? Should it say that our world is devoid of love, although sometimes we must think that when we see what is happening in the world today.
We, as a collective, are capable of making changes. Working on the assumption that we are all energy, we can redirect our energies, our thinking, from a negative charge to a positive one. Let our thoughts shine brightly in our world or be as dull as an old pair of boots.
There is a saying “what you think so it shall be” also “what you sow so shall you reap.” By being the best, we can be by putting our thoughts out to the world in a positive way, we can change our own environment.
Stop this not believing in self or speaking negatively, this only makes for a bleaker outcome. Be present in the moment. Focus only on what matters, on what is important to you. Sometimes the mind wanders and we completely miss what it is we are meant to be seeing but, don’t worry, you usually get more than one chance.
Remember, Spirit is always with us; they walk beside us every day although not everyone is aware. Spirit is always listening for our call, ready to help us, so then, why don’t we ask? Is it because we are too into our ego thinking we can do things on our own. Well, l for one, always call on Spirit especially for a parking space and l know there are a lot of you here who do the same. So, next time you are struggling, next time you are feeling scared or alone, why not ask Spirit to help. Ask and you shall receive. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen.
