The Power of Love

Today I was contemplating the power of love to shift consciousness.  When attacked personally by the people around you we often move into a place of reaction and a desire to defend ourselves.  Am I right? What if instead we stood in a consciousness of love and acceptance.  Accepting that what people think, or what they say about us is actually about them and not about us.  How might that change the way you feel about what happened or what was said?

When we accept what is happening, rather than defend against what is happening we become more powerful.  In the moment that we look at a situation or a person with acceptance and compassion we remove ourselves from the place of being a victim.  We begin to see a bigger picture and no longer take it personally if someone says something behind our backs to someone else, or maybe they say something we find hurtful, or something that is untrue.

The truth is, people rarely see us for who we are, but rather, they see us from who they are and where they are.  It is important that we learn to love all others, most especially those who are intent on bringing us harm.  It is through love that we are fully able to live in integrity.  Living in integrity requires a deep commitment and will bring us a true sense of contentment.  Learning to listen to our own hearts, our own consciousness will bring us peace and a true sense of freedom.  Living in an attitude of trying to please others brings us pain and suffering.

Remember, "What people think of you is none of your business", from A Course In Miracles.  This is one of the most important statements ever written.  Learn it and live by it, you will be very grateful you did.  Freedom and joy come when we stand in our own Truth without expectation of those around us and their thoughts, ideas or attitudes.  Love yourself and love your life, this will bring peace to you and to the world.  It is really our only option anyway.  No matter what the challenge may be Love is always the answer.  Have a great day and know you are loved.
In Joy,
