Your Life Needs Your Love

It is so very important to look at our behavior objectively - to respond to ourselves as others might do. It is only in this fashion that we can learn to see outside the shell of our own perceptions, and to stop thinking in the vein of "I'm right, I'm right," and begin thinking of Oneness.

We can think we are being the nicest, most loving people, but unless we can assess our tone objectively, unless we can stand in the other person's shoes and see what they are picking up, we don't really know how we are going across, how our form of communication works for others, how much we are touching people.

All too often we think we're "showing love," but how often is it crass and hard and hidden behind bravado and plated armor! You don't know how you are coming across until you have stood in another person's shoes.

And what that means is - you have to go out of your way to show your love.ake your actions bigger, share in a larger way, make sure the people you love hear you say you love them again and again and again. Never assume, never take it for granted that others "hear" you, for love speaks different languages for each person. If you want to be heard, you need to be sure you are speaking in the way those around you can hear.

The same goes for everything. If you love your family - for goodness sake, share your gratitude often, in as many ways as you can think of. If you love the planet, you need to speak the language of the planet, so that the planet most assuredly hears and feels your love. If you love your job, you need to engage your whole being and do a great job at your work.

Love really is what the world needs; not love that is intellectually understood, but love that is expressed in our every breath and through our every action. This is being fully present and fully grateful; zero percent fear, 100% love. Start in tiny ways and build on it. Your life needs your love.

Blessings.
