Watch this short video on how to use your Superpower of Love!


 

Use Your Will to Love

Our will and how we use it, is critically important in personal and spiritual development. Sometimes we use our will too much? Sometimes we use our will too little? But our decisions and will make the world what it is.

We create the world by our will, by conscious and unconscious choices.

The Perfect Feeling

When it comes to love, the perfect feeling of being alive… we may imagine it to be a byproduct of what we do or what we have? And often, good feelings do come from what we do: if we like to play tennis, and we go play tennis, we’re happier. If we like to mountain-bike, and we go mountain-bike, we probably feel better? Yet love is something more than this.

Immortality Happens with Good Thoughts

Love Is More than Feeling Good

If we do something we like, it does create good feelings… yet love is more than feeling good. Love is something more, an essential human need.

Sometimes love is scarce and not with us at all; we may feel bad? Yet we can use our will to change how we feel; we can will ourselves to love!

We can change our thoughts and feelings as we chose. We can love right now. As we think of love, as we speak and act with compassion… love begins to change our lives.

Love Is Something We Choose to Do

Love is something we make for ourselves and our lives. Love is not something we wait for; love is not something we hope will happen to us?

As adults, we must feed ourselves, and the food of love is in our soul. We always have love to give. As we act with love, the world gives love to us in greater degree.

Love Is No Accident

We may think love comes to us by chance, a random gift? We may be unhappy and dissatisfied with the lack of love in our lives… but this problem can be solved by how we chose to think and act.

Use your “will” to bring love into play.

All of us, right now, can use our will to love, to bring love into play. We are generators and creators of compassion. We are makers of life, love and perfection!

Resistance to love in our life, is our chance to make a stronger love. The lack of love is a call for us to make a greater love.

Think with Love

Right now, I can think of you with love. Right now, you can think of me or anyone else in the world… with love. Nothing prevents our ability to love beyond our own decision to love, or not love.

Have you decided in favor of love, in favor of your own life today? Have you remembered to use your incredible human super power of love?

Bring Love Alive!

I can bring love alive in my brain, my heart and my body… as all of us who are human can do. We can do it with our will. Can a dog or a cat do that? I don’t really know; they can do it when they see us. But an incredible gift I know that we have as human beings, right now… is the ability to love.

The Word, “Love,” Has Special Power!

Do it with me now—start thinking with love. If nothing else, if you just can’t get going on love, think of the word, love? How is love spelled? It’s spelled L – O – V – E.

Think of the word, “love.” Write it down in front of you. You can do this at work; you can do this at home.
Wherever you are, imagine love with your mind. In your mind, write the word, love.

If we want to have love, we are the ones to create it. We are the creators of love. We are love generators. Love is something we do. We all have the power of love.

The meaning of lovePerfect Life within Us

We have perfect life within us; we can bring forth this perfect life as love, any time we choose. To love is simple and easy to do—just think of love! Think of the word, love. Write down the word, love. Write love slowly, easily and gently… 10 TIMES! See how you feel? How are you thinking now? Is it different than before you wrote love 10 times? This is our human power—we create what we want. We create what we think.

This incredible human superpower takes practice and repetition.

Stand in front of a mirror, and say to yourself: I love who I am! I love you. I love my mother; I love my father. I love my family; I love my friends. Love is a choice we have. Love is something we chose to do, by will, both gentle and strong.

Make a List of Love

Write down the people that you love; write down the people you want to love. After every third name on this list of love, write your own name, as someone to love.

If you are having problems with someone, having hard feelings about them… consider writing down their name as a person to love. This can soften your feelings about them, and bring peace to the situation.

Look in a mirror and say, “I love you” to yourself. This may sound silly and foolish. You may have tried affirmations before… but have you really? Have you tried an affirmation, throughout the day, every day for an entire month, every day for two or three months?

Making positive statements to ourselves, about ourselves, will have a good effect over time. Self statements, or affirmations, change our brain. Positive statements, repeated over time, change how our brain operates… making our feelings and thoughts improve.

Train Your Brain to Do what You Want!

We are giving our brain instructions every day… telling our brain how to feel and think. We can do this with awareness and good intent, or with random reaction to life events? It is our choice.

If we instruct our brain with awareness and good intent, we can make a powerful difference.

Personal change and a life of love are a choice and action we make. Affirmations change our brain—this is a proven process with a scientific basis, not wishful thinking. Do it; try it! Repeat your positive statements for three months, every day, throughout the day. You will make a powerful change.

Our brain is what we make it. Our life is the same.

The Habit of Bliss

Practice love every day, for three months, and your life will change! You can love yourself… no matter what you have done, no matter what others have done to you. You can love yourself right now by looking in a mirror and saying, “I love you.”

This may not work the first time you do it, the second time or the third? We have to practice love for weeks, months and years to have a stronger brain of love, a life of compassionate bliss. To have love and good-will every day, we must practice on a daily basis.

The latest research shows it takes about three months to create a new habit. This is a neurological process where we restructure our brain. A new sport or a new dance is learned in this manner, so is love.

We are forming our brains and lives every day by random thoughts or active intent. The quality of each day is created by how we have chosen to react. Why not create our lives with conscious purpose—with thoughts, feelings and outcomes we want? We can be a random reaction, or an active intent of love.

A Love for All of Life

If we could feel a special love for ourselves, for other people and life in general… would we chose to do this? If we could feel a love for all of life, would that be a valuable thing? If we experienced life giving love back to us, would that be good?

A realistic expectation, when practicing love, is a life in love with who we are!

All of existence has an identity of love; our basic identity is that of a loving individual. We can share and commune with all of the world in a loving way, in a blissful coexistence if we choose.

  3. Do my free Qi Gong exercises, www.ImmortalNow.com/qi-gong-videos.
  4. Practice good-will and compassion on a regular basis.
  5. Every day, work and practice; know the loving you.

Effective change will come.

Thich Nhat Hanh: A special man with gifts for everyone!

In this short and powerful video, Thich Nhat Hanh explains the fruits of “Mindfulness.”

To me, mindfulness can be thought of as “awareness” or a “mind full of love.”

Mindfulness works with everything in life, giving us what we need: health and healing;
happiness and serenity.

 

 

How to love and not use anger

In the Modern World

  • Anger, rage and hate do not inform us well.
  • Anger, rage and hate do not keep us safe.
  • Anger, rage and hate put us all in danger.

Chose to love, not anger; practice this thought.
Eventually, the choice to love becomes our first
response.

Life Gives to Us

Life cooperates with those who give. We can give by doing things we like to do.

Personal Development: Help Is Here!

Love Can Help

The Secret Gift

The pleasure of our soul contains the secret gift of who we are and what we have to give.

Acts of Courtesy

Simple acts of courtesy may be the best remembered. We may not know when someone is in need? One small act of kindness can change a life forever.

Make a Difference!

An assuring glance, holding open a door or saying “I love you” at just the right time can make a difference.
It may not seem like much, but simple acts of courtesy can have a lasting impact.

Get what You Need

Help is here as we give of who we are, as we ask for what we need.

 

The Powerful Role of Love

Directly or indirectly, love is the answer to just about everything. We may not suspect the powerful role love plays in our lives. We may not imagine love to be the force that rules the world.

Immortality, Personal Growth: Love Is Here!

Love Is the Answer!

Love Creates the World

Love is what makes things work. Love holds the world together. “Not love” is when things don’t work.

The Major Lessons of Life

Love and understanding are the major lessons of life. Humanity and life are at their zenith and full power when we are living in love. We do not become fully functioning humans without love active in our lives.

We Are All the Same

The depth of love goes far beyond romantic. Everything in existence can be loved and fit within a loving context. We are all the same as we are loved.

Make a Miracle!

Love seems a miracle, yet miracles are commonplace with love. Love gives us more than we could imagine. Yet love and good-will need us for expression.

Our Gift

Our gift is the ability to love. With love we have the power of creation.

(This post is adapted from my book, “Lessons in Love,” at www.TheLessonsInLove.com.)

Rejection Can Hurt

Yet rejection is not a bad event. Rejection is a redirection of life!

We Live Our Immortality each Day

Redirected Life

Redirected, we may realize that life is full and abundant. Though rejected, there may still be plenty of life for us to live and possess.

Try Again!

We can try again with a different perspective? We can make amends and renew a friendship. We can start our own business if no one is hiring.

Abundance Is Everywhere

Life is abundant–this is the lesson of rejection. When one door shuts, another door opens. We are redirected.

However, another door may not open immediately. We may have to wait.

As We “Wait,” There Is Opportunity

Waiting can be an opportunity–almost anything can be achieved while we wait for something else.

Our most important work in life may be done while we wait for something else. Perhaps we will get what we want; perhaps we will not?

There is opportunity in waiting.

The Most Valuable Skill!

If we spend most of our life waiting, then learning to enjoy the wait is a valuable skill!

We may find we don’t really want what we wanted, that we have something better!

(This blog article is from my book “Lessons in Love” at www.TheLessonsInLove.com)

 

True love, loves us all.

As love flows out, love flows in.

Love every day of your life!

 

Immortality and Love

Love will always love us back!

 

There is no limit to love!

Love is not confined or restricted.

Life sustains love; love sustains life.

Love is the substance of living.

 

 

When we love, our love has effect.

Love carries our thoughts and will.

Love is a song that catches on.

Love is how we’re designed.

 

Love gives us vision.

With love, we find our way.

Love leads and follows wherever we go.

 

how to love

The Meaning of Love

 

Love informs us.

Love keeps us safe.

Love agrees and prepares the way.

 

Love is the core of freedom and bliss.

Love has no demand.

Love only gives.

Love is our natural way.

 

Love is what we need to live.

Love knows what we need to know.

Love is a cycle, an endless gift.

 

We are the blessing of love.

To love, we must give.

To give, we must love.

 


We’re Made for a Good Life!

We are designed to do our best, and this is what we do. We may put someone down, or criticize ourselves, yet we’re simply doing our best. It may not be the best we can do in the future, but it’s the best we could do at that time. Why condemn ourselves and others?

How to Love

 

Make Things Right

When we condemn or judge, we hurt ourselves. Instead, we can correct what’s wrong. We can do our best to bring justice. We can make things right. If we condemn and judge, we are part of the problem. Why is this?

 

To harm others is to harm ourselves. We are all the same.

Fertile Soil

Every individual is fertile soil for a good life; our true nature is to grow. To love ourselves, we must help others. We must love others as well as ourselves. As we love ourselves, we notice love in all of life.

To love, to help love grow… we have to help, not criticize.

Life responds to love.

Our Ability Grows!

We can delight in helpful behavior, in helping others grow. With each person we help, we benefit. Our abilities grow. We become happier and more complete as we act from our soul.

As we help others, we become more aware of who we are. We become aware of love at our core, of love in all of life.

To Get What We Want…

The one thing we want, we already have. In our souls, there is love.

Love with all your heart and all your might, so you may know who you are. As love flows, notice love in all the world–in people, animals, trees, rocks and soil.

Love as you drive your car; love as you do your job and have fun. Think of love all the time. Let love mix with your life. Feel the freedom and joy of who you are. Act in love, this is what you’re designed to do.

As we love,  love is what we get!

(From my book, “Lessons in Love” at www.TheLessonsInLove.com.)

Personal Growth: Fear and Love The Fear Reaction

The fear reaction may have with it a sense of inadequacy. Feeling inadequate, we may hurt ourselves and others?

Instead, if we act out of honest self-esteem, our true self-interest and talent, everyone will benefit.
 

When we act on the fear of inadequacy, we may act in a manner of disregard for other people’s feelings and welfare.

How Do We Cause Harm?

We may cause harm to someone in order to make ourselves look good? This can be an obvious act of violence or a subtle thing, such as a helpful comment veiled in legitimacy but resulting as insult.

Awareness Brings Control

Be aware of fear. Be aware of acting out of fear. This is not as easy as it sounds. We may be in the habit of acting out of fear and not know it?

Are we cynical? Do we feel insecure? How do we act? When we get angry, do we hurt other people or ourselves?

As we know our fear, we gain control and make a better life.

(From my book, “Lessons in Love” at www.TheLessonsInLove.com.)

 

Personal Development: Life Is a Gift

Life Is a Gift

Who Is Happy?

To those who are happy, life is a gift. To those who are not happy, life is a curse. To most of us, life has been both a gift and a curse.

Life is a gift if we use it to give.

 

Meditate on Life

This is a fact on which we need to meditate every day. We need to go where it is quiet and realize that life is a gift, a precious delight.

Think for a few minutes? The next time you are unhappy or upset, think of life and the gifts that you have; start counting them off. List them in your mind or on paper.

What Can We Do?

Can you see–look at something beautiful. Can you hear–listen to a joyful note. Can you talk–say something with love. Do you have friends–treasure them. Can you pray–pray for a benevolent outcome.

Feel life, feel it inside you and all around you. Focus on the feeling of your own life inside you. If you can do this, you will feel excitement and love.

Life Is Exciting!

Life is powerful, peaceful and benevolent. Realize how lucky and fortunate you are to be part of this love called life. Realize that you are part of everything in Creation. All of Creation is helping you in your life, and you are helping all of Creation.

Life is a generous gift in all its manifestation. In pain and suffering, life is still willing to give to us whatever we ask. If we are so sick that we cannot ask, others may ask of life in our place. Life never quits on us or anyone else.

A Misunderstanding?

It is only by misunderstanding that life appears to quit—especially in sickness. It may appear that life is quitting on us as we or our loved ones die?

Death is a misunderstanding of life.

The Choice

We have a choice. We do not have to die. We can go on living.

Life is a gift of constant creation. Why give life up to pain and sorrow, if we have the choice to do something different?
