Choose for Love


Affirmations:
I choose for Love.
I make the decision to Love, only Love.
I forgive and Love anyone who forgets to Love.
I remember Love is what we’re here for.

 
Love is a Decision I Must Make.

I claim heaven on earth here in me.
I choose a good life that inspires me everyday in everyway.
I create a life of Beauty, Goodness and Wholeness to be joyfully shared.
And so it is, I affirm and declare, I do the work with joy and gratitude.

Could it be, you really can have the life you want?
Those who choose and do what it takes have everything they want.
If we make our beds, watch our mouths and change our attitude, life works easily.
I learned without any resistance to take care of my home, my words and my mind.

It is never too late to learn.
Never too late to change your life.
Never too late to change our words and our work ethic.
Never too late to have the life we want?

Yes, it requires committed focus, practice and willingness to do whatever it takes.
When we are willing, we can have what we want with all our heart and mind.
It requires clearing and cleaning every thought, word or behavior that interferes.
It requires a steadfast daily practice of what is true and good and healthy.
It requires letting go of the stories and disappointment, wishing and hoping.

It seems we are in a time of a quick fixes and short term gratification.
False Belief: A pill, a prayer, a person, a wish, a class, a book will give us what we want.
Where is the work we need to do?
Where is the intention for the Highest Good?
Where is the research, the learning, cleaning up mistakes and doing the daily work required?

It seems we are in the age of disposing anything we no longer want.
Easy come, easy go.
If it costs nothing, it must not be valuable.
If it is given to us without working for it, it must not be of real significance.
If things break or get lost, someone will replace them.
If we do not take care of what we have, we can just go get more.

A child explored our home this week and said, “You must be rich.” 
I replied, “ We are rich in Love and Gratitude.”
We take good care of everything we have and so it lasts. 
We use what we have and make it work for us.
We give what we no longer use to others who have need. 
We keep our home clean and orderly and beautiful.
You can do it too, when you love your self and your life.”

If something is of value to you, be grateful.
Take good care of it while it serves you.
What you serve well, will serve you well.
When you value someone, love and serve them well.

The key may be to not take anything we have for granted.
Honor and respect everything you have.
Take care of everything and make it whole and holy.
If you cannot care well for someone or something, let it go to someone who will care for it well.
Allow all things to be loved and used for Good, by sharing them with someone who will.

Create your life, as if every relationship matters.
Create your home, as if everything your have has value to you.
Create your words, as if everything you say is teaching everyone everywhere.
Create your choices, as if everything you do is literally creating the world you live in.
Because it is!!!

Your life matters.
You are making a difference.
Make it positive, helpful and inspiring.

Do You Care?


Affirmations:
I care about taking good care of myself and all my relationships.
I care about taking good care of my home, my workplace, my community and the earth.
I care about speaking and behaving with respect and kindness all the time.
I care about being the best example of conscious living that I know.


Does Anybody Really Care?

Are there values we need to live?
Are there principles to live by?
Are there ethics and mores being learned in school?
Do our leaders, teachers, health providers care?

More importantly, do you care?
What matters to you?
Do your friends and family know you care?
Does anyone really know what you care about?

When people don’t care, they don’t pay attention.
When people don’t care, they don’t show up.
When people don’t care, they don’t share their truth.
When people don’t care, they experience despair, disease and die.

When we don’t care, everything goes to pot. (literally ad figuratively.)
When we don’t care, our children don’t care.
When we don’t care, others copy our example.
When we don’t care, we allow families, jobs, finances and health to fall apart.

When no one cares, we deplete our resources.
When no one cares, we live meaningless lives.
When no one cares, people harm themselves and each other.
When no one cares, we destroy what we have.

Do you care about you, your health, happiness, well-being?
Do you care about what you eat and how it energizes your body?
Do you care about how you live, the cleanliness of your home and care?
Do you care about the things you have, their maintenance and usefulness?

Do you care about your influence on others?
Do you care about how you spend your time and money?
Do you care about what you say and how you behave?
Do you care about your self image and reputation?

Do you care about the world you live in?
Do you care about the resources you use?
Do you care about the food you eat, the killing, pesticides and toxic waste?
Do you care about the trees and skies and seas?

Will we care when it is too late?
Will we care when no one cares for us?
Will we care all is gone or lost or depleted?
Will we care when no one cares for each other?

I care about You and me and Us!
I care about our children.
I care about the earth.
I care about reminding us all to care.

These Loving Reminders, written every morning, as part of my spiritual practice, are sent around the world to thousands since January 1999. I write them from my inner listening, with my Love and Peace.
I care about each one of you, deeply, profoundly, steadfastly, always and forever.

Love never quits.
Love never dies.
Love prevails through all times.

I trust in Love, the “God” Forces that creates through me, as me.
I trust in the Love, the Goodness, that lives and has its Being in You!
I trust in the Power and Presence of Love that will always Be.
Let us together remember this Love.

Loving you, 
Betty Lue

Afraid of Love?


Affirmations:
Love is freedom and Trust.
Love is letting go of fear.
Love is trusting and choosing the Highest Good.
Love is letting life be as it is.


Our Greatest Fear May Be Love!!

Are you afraid to Love?
Are you careful about being loving?
Are you cautious about being loved?
Have you learned to love only special ones?

It would appear we have it backwards.
We seem to fear (distrust) almost everyone.
We seem to love only special ones.
We seem to become afraid to lose their love.

If Love is natural, why do we need it?
If we are created as Love, why don’t we be it?
If we are here to Love, what keeps us from sharing it?
If our power and purpose is Love, why do we limit it?

We seem to have learned that love hurts.
And really Love heals.
We seem to believe we lose ourselves in Love.
Really Love is how we find ourselves.

We may have learned to let someone love us, is to allow them to control us.
We may have experienced that Love is fickle and depends on someone’s mood.
We may believe we need to earn love by giving what we may not have.
We may distrust our love will ever be enough to be received and appreciated.

The many definitions and ideas and images of Love have distorted our beliefs.
Whatever we believe tends to be what we seek and create for our selves.
The Love we experience is a product of our thoughts, words and behavior.
The Love we know is often distorted by the stories we have heart and told.

When we know unconditional Love, we know the unlimited, inclusive and creative power of Love.
Love reveals the need for Love and heals by loving.
Love opens the door to safety and trust and gives respite and peace.
Love is the space of remembering and awakening to the Love within>

Love is the place of renewal and new beginnings.
Love offers the natural forgiving essence of learning and giving.
Love is coming home to one’s authentic Self . 
Love is creating all that is good and whole and beautiful.

Love is the space of freedom and trust.
Love is the freedom to choose, to create, to discover.
Love is the trust that all things work together for Good.
Love is the way we live and give with gratitude.

Loving ourselves invites us to learn from every encounter.
Loving ourselves encourages us to trust our inner voice.
Loving ourselves frees us to make the best choice for ourselves.
Loving ourselves opens us to create the best life we know.

While we cannot change, fix or make another be what we want, we can influence ourselves.
While we cannot count on others being, choosing, feeling what we want, we can free them.
While we cannot shape others to choose to be with us, we can love them enough to let them go.
While we cannot make anyone love us, we can let go of our attachment and neediness.

Love may be confusing.
Love may be amusing.
Love may be fearful
Love may be tearful.
But when you love with trust and freedom, it is clear and free with no attachment to specialness.

Loving you in remembering to Love,
Betty Lue
