When You’re In Love, Everything’s Peachy
When you’re in love, everything is peachy. Your world seems a little bit brighter, and even the darkness seems a little less cloudy. Why? Because we create our own realities. We choose what how to feel, and thus we choose what we experience. Eventually we start hiding from this reality by saying “I’m not choosing unhappiness, I’m just reacting to my environment.” No, everything starts with you, and spreads out from there. When one chooses to be angry, the world seems like a hateful, angry place. When one chooses to be sad, everything seems meaningless and empty, and you tend to pull depressed people and situations into your life. This is the law of attraction. Every thought, expectation, idea, and intention will play itself out in your life. Ironically enough, this is only a curse if you choose it to be. This is free will.
Free will and the law of attraction can be the most generous blessings if we only allow them to be.
I’ve been getting a lot of comments lately with people say “The world is an ugly place,” and the like. For the most part, their intentions are good. They are shocked by the cruelty of the world, and want to help it to come to an end. But what we don’t always realize when we say things like that, is we are contributing ourselves to the worlds ugliness. If you can learn to love the world, all of it, even the ugly parts, with all your heart, the ugliness has no choice but to relent. There are basically two causes for this: the domino effect, and perspective.
We see examples of these every day. The domino effect is quite simple: if one person expresses love, it spreads. Unfortunately, disdain can spread as well, but think about it… Having disdain for disdain is a bit counterproductive, don’t you think? Sure, it seems illogical at first to love hate. But then, when you’re trying to put out a flame, you wouldn’t douse it with more flame, would you? No. Your love is like a limitless cask of water, and through your chosen perspective of the world, you can put out the destructive fire that is hate. So don’t keep spinning your wheels, end the vicious cycle. Allow yourself to let go of that which you find upsetting, there is absolutely no reason for you to hold onto it. If you wake up every morning expecting to see a despicable place, that is what you will see. Your expectations are like requests, and the universe will always provide you with what you ask for. So if instead, you wake up, and allow yourself to soak up every lovely thing, the world around you will quickly fade into a magnificent place. So don’t fear fear. Embrace it. Don’t hate hate. Love it. Life is only as perfect as you allow it to be.
There is a poster on my wall that hangs directly across from my bed, so that every morning when I wake up I see it. It is a passage from the Tao Te Ching, and it reads:
“The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.
In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, study the timing.
No fight.
No blame.”
These words are saturated with wisdom. Every morning, when I read them, I gain a fresh perspective, and a motivation find a way to love that day. Every time you look at something, if you can, for however brief a moment, find a piece yourself inside of it, you will see how easy it is to love. Take a step outside of yourself. This is why when we give a little, it always comes back to us. Let your love flow. Yeah.
“Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you’ll know what I mean it’s the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wind
And let your love find you to all living things
And let your love shine and you’ll know what I mean that’s the reason”
When you’re in love, everything is peachy. But there’s no reason not to feel that bliss even when its not revolving around a romantic relationship. Life IS peachy. =) Love flows in all different directions. And unique as those directions may be, they can all only do good for the heart.
Peace <3
