Love

Love

Love is such a powerful word that has been said and expressed right throughout history. It would be hard to imagine a life without love, when we think of love we tend to think of our loved ones, family, friends some might be thinking, car, job, holidays anything that brings us real happiness. Love on my list comes purely from the heart.

Self love is something that is becoming harder and harder to find, with society and the media creating an unrealistic scorecard of success, job, status, house size, fashion, we judge ourselves as a person based heavily on how we rate in these certain extrinsic areas of life, with so much to live up to self-love is getting tough. A lot of smarter people than I, believe you can’t love anybody if you don’t love yourself,  you can care, do things, attend but deeply love somebody or something, now that’s different kettle of fish, what about loving what you do? When was the last time you got up and did something because you loved it, no outcome, reward, paycheck or pat on the back, the love you expressed when you were 6 riding freely on your bike, a simple pure and authentic love with no strings attached. Unconditional Love, better or worse, richer or poorer, even when you get a job and that makes you really busy or whilst stuck at home looking after our 4 kids under 6, stressed out of your brain and you want to scream, that kind of love. How many people do you stare in the eye and tell or at least think “ Gee I love you” how about an experience when all you can feel is pure joy and happiness in your heart?

 

To find love I think you need to pause, create some space to just be, take it all in. You can do a wedding, but you can’t do love, you BE in love, you don’t do caring, you BE a caring person, you don’t do compassionate, you be a compassionate person, remember we are human BEings not human doings.

 

My guide to love

 

1. Show love any chance you get
2. Love the environment, ride instead of drive, compost or plant trees, little things that show love for this land.
3. Let your guard down, be vulnerable and let love in
4. Discover what you love to do and do it
5. Lastly and most importantly, look into the mirror and into your heart and start to love yourself, love the person you have become.

Thanks Love and Peace
