Is it Love?

Affirmations:

I Love without condition or limit.

Love fills me and sets me free.

When all is forgiven, there is only Love.

I welcome Love, trust and freedom into my life.


(Written in response to someone suffering in the pain of special Love.)


What Is Love?


Does Love worry?

Is Love afraid?

Does Love limit?

Is Love jealous?


Seems to me that FEAR worries and distrusts.

It seems contradictory that love would restrict or be jealous.

Love is trust and freedom.

Love is safe and happy and free.


Love may feel like a dream, an illusion.

When we fully love, it feels so good and just right.

Love is our natural state.

Innocent love is fun, safe and easy.


However, most people are in fear.

In fear, there is no room for love.

In fear, there is often a fear of drowning or disappearing in love.

In fear, there is a pervasive fear of becoming weak and vulnerable in love.


We all desire (under the fear) the place of joy and peace to rest in endless love.

Yet fear can hold its grip on us, while we are in the world of temporary relationships. 

With intermittent love from others, we develop a fear of what is not lasting.

We yearn for something real and eternal, a safe place to trust and be free.


When we seek Love from personalities, we may be disappointed.

When we look for Love from those who are in fear, we will receive their fear.

When we find others lacking in Love, we will come to realize our own conditional love.

Just know when there is fear or lack in another, it is always a call for love.


Everything in this world changes over time……even human Love.

Relationships, commitments, feelings, personalities, bodies…..everything changes.

When we demand that human Love stays the same, we are setting up for disappointment.

To Love another is to give Love, respect, patience, forgiveness to another.


I choose to stay in Love.

I forgive myself for being hurt by another’s lack of Love.

I trust that Love is always enough.

I choose to never quit on Love.

I choose to Love, no matter what!


Love is our natural state.

We were created in Love, by Love, as Love, for the purpose of Loving.

When not in Love, something is mistaken.


Loving you,

Call to Joy!

Affirmations:

I choose to be happy and free.

I choose to see all things differently.

I choose to go the way of Love.

I choose to follow the path of delight.


What Path Do You Follow?


This morning in my writing, my inner guidance, I was reminded to follow the path of joy.


“Go where you experience joy and light.

Enter into the house of love and peace,

Lift up your voice to laughter and singing.

When life takes you down, look up.


Life is your calling—Live well and prosper.

Take time to celebrate and innovate.

Be free in Spirit and full of Gratitude.

Allow grace to guide you as you look into the face of God.


Your holy work is healing work.

To be healing, you must make happy and bring peace.


Give Love and let it show.

Give Love and let it grow.

Give Love and you will know,

Doing what comes naturally.”

(A song I wrote years ago. Substitute Joy and peace.)


It takes so little to give ourselves the love and light we really want.

When we are aware, we can step away from fear and darkness.

As we consciously choose the joyful ways to live, we remember.

As we consistently choose loving ways to give, we enjoy our lives.


We each and all deserve a life of all good and only good.

We need not stay in the dark and hope for the light to come.

We need not try to change others’ ways to be happy and free.

We can come to our own choice and raise our own voice.


Life choices are made individually.

We can choose our own path to follow.

We can sing our own song and happy way.

We can live our own lives following the light within us.


When we contemplate staying where we are, ask what is our highest calling?

When we listen within to the inner child, the innocent one, what does he or she really want?

When we long for love and light, a peaceful and restful night, where do we go?

When we set ourselves free, how can we see things differently and live our own truth?


Life is our choice every day.

We can choose the happy way of love or the unhappy ways of fear.

We can choose to free ourselves to move or get mired in fear and dependence.

We can let go and allow only Goodness or hang on and wait for winning the lottery.


Be free.

Be happy.

Choose wisely.

Live in Love.

Conscious Relationships

Affirmations:

I give what I want to have.

I share the best I know.

I choose to love myself and others.

I contribute to all with respect and responsibility, honest communication and commitment. 


What Do You Really Want in Your Ideal Relationships?


Relationships include partnerships, friendships, roommates and family.

Relationships include marriage and romance, employers and co-workers.

When we learn to relate by giving what we ideally want, we experience it more consistently.

When we learn to relate to everyone consciously and consistently, we have what we want.


Giving is receiving.

As we give the best, we feel our best.

As we feel our best, we give our best.

And so it is, we receive what we give.


Respect for all relationships is being open and willing to see everything as healing.

Respect means to look again, to see things differently, to perceive with new eyes.

We see through the filters of past history and experiences and project it onto present relationships.

We can only respect another as much as we know how to respect ourselves.


Be honest and open to create safety within the relationship.

When we fear we will be judged, rejected or punished, we withhold.

When we become a safe place for everything to be shared, we receive others honesty easily.

When we are open and honest ourselves, we create more openness and honesty from others.


Share ideals, values, and principles to live by, making all relationships more accepting.

Learning what we want and how we prefer to communicate is key to connecting with others.

Being willing to share with others what we believe and truly desire allows others to do the same.

When there is joining with common goals, all relationships function more effectively.


Contribute fully and freely your best to all relationships, giving a feeling of equanimity.

Understand that everyone is doing their best and appreciate the good you receive and give.

Relinquish demanding more and better to allow others to feel capable and valuable.

When there is no comparison or evaluation of others giving, everyone feels free to be their best.


Commit to be responsible for the quality in all relationships.

This requires us to be awake and aware, truly conscious.

Be willing to communicate feelings, wants and willingness without demanding of others.

Commit to take care of ourselves first without depending on others’ egos to take care of us.


Be responsible for the quality of our relationships without guilt or blame.

Attend to the ways in which people need to be valued and appreciated.

Honor our own needs first so we can be available to others.

Be open and willing to make amends for mistakes, conscious and unconscious.


Appreciate all relationships as the gifts of learning and healing they are.

Love everyone exactly as they are, including ourselves.

Honor the examples of kindness and love in our lives.

Be present to see and be conscious, open and willing.


Enjoy life as opportunities for wisdom, gratitude and true prosperity.

I love to feel the peace of Trusting.

I forgive myself and others for distrust and fear.

I have known and been shown conscience is a guide for a guilt-free life.

Trust is fun, safe and easy living and giving.


Being Willing to let go of control and trust is key to true prosperity.

Being Grateful for all things knowing they teach us is inspiring.

Being Happy with the blessings that come our way creates builds Trust.

Why not breathe with gratitude to enjoy exactly what we have!


Enjoying the health and happiness, peace and prosperity that Trust gives,

    This relaxes your body and quiets your mind.


2. Imagine something good in your future or positive time you are looking forward to.

    This encourages your mind to seek what feels good to you.

Translation

Affirmations:

I choose to see everything differently.

I let go of pre-judging and see what is with love.

I allow my mind to be open to what is good and whole.

I easily translate my experiences into what inspires me.


Translate All Things Into Good


Use your mind to see things differently.

Use your words to say things differently.

Use your behavior to do things differently.

Be willing and open to translate only for good!


Life can be seen with the duality of good and bad.

What you believe, you will see.

Anything that you experience will be seen as what you believe.

Therefore, translate into what you want to see.


Give yourself the opportunity to see things with new eyes.

Allow yourself to perceive with a new mind.

Open to translating those you meet to perceive the best in them.

When we are willing to know it is all for Good, it will be.


Everyone is doing the best they know at the time.

Even when people know better, there are times they forget.

Even when people want to do better, there are moments of neglect.

Even when we ourselves prefer to be positive that we allow ourselves to be negative.


Can we forgive and wash away all things?

Can we let go of the judgments and disappointments we hold?

Can we clear our mind of defensiveness and be defenseless?

The experiences we repeat come from repeated thoughts.


Learning to translate is willingness to see things from the other side.

When we can step into another’s show and listen for their perceptions, we easily see things differently.

When we drop our position, opinion and viewpoint, we begin to see a wider view of what is.

Translation begets transformation in thoughts and emotions, relationships and behaviors.


Translation can create true and lasting happiness.

Open minds can begin to see the light in all things.

Willing beings can enjoy what happens as all Good.

Everything works together for Good is truly Possible to believe and perceive!


When we are stuck in our own narrow field of possibility, the world is filled with judgment.

When we cling to our opinions and limiting perceptions, nothing can change our mind.

When we forgive ourselves, we begin to see with the eyes of Love.

With clear vision, we find ourselves filled with new translations of old experiences.


It is true that Goodness can work through all experience when we are willing to translate.

Translation from inner peace begets Healing, Goodness and Love.

Translation with an open mind allows all negatives to be seen as a call for Love.

Translation with the freedom and trust of Innocence perceives all things new again.


And so it is, we are happy and free to translate as we choose life to be.
