To love everyone and everything is difficult.
It is not something a certain part of our brain naturally wants
to do. Some of our neurological anatomy is designed to fight
or run from danger, to defend our ground and families, to
attack and compete in the need to survive.
So how do we love?
The answer is simple: It takes practice and patience. The work
can be hard.
First, we make a decision to love, not false affection for
everyone, but a decision to turn on our overriding ability to love
and see love as the character and quality in all things.
We decide to look for the best in people and love them as a
Grand Creator might see. This is not about liking everything
a person does or has done, but about seeing the world as a
Creation of Love.
Why do this at all? To be perfectly honest… for ourselves.
The motive to love can be selfish; it should be. We are our best
when in love—acting and interpreting life from a loving
perspective. We benefit the most.
The survival or primitive brain can be used to generate love, to
envelope all our doing, actions, thoughts and interpretations in
a love response, a loving comprehension. Love comes from all
of us, as our soul.
The primitive brain that fights and runs, can turn around and
light up everything in an aura and factual basis of love…
If we practice using our will to love and not judge, or
attack, we can love everyone and everything. This takes
practice, and continual effort that gets easier in time as we
create love as a habit. As we move away from harsh and critical
thinking, to a more natural and calming response, love becomes
habit
To love and be loved: It is up to us, and our decision alone. We do
not wait for the world to come to our aid and make us feel good
before we act and decide to love.
We take the initiative and focus in on love first; the world
will then turn around, and our day will be better.
Others may notice and benefit from our loving presence,
without a doubt! However, we will benefit the most…
immediately and over the long term.
Our bodies respond quickly and strongly to an attitude of love,
initiated by ourselves. Our brains work better in love. With love
we have more accurate, honest and productive interpretations
of the world, that bring better experience and results.
Our hearts, kidneys, knees, eyes and lungs work better, and
all of our body is more at ease and functioning well when we
have an attitude of love, a deeply committed practice of loving
response.
Life simply works best, as we love.
