Like and Love

People tend to do a lot of talking about what they do not like. If we pay attention, we will notice that every time we do this, our hearts close a little bit (or a lot).

The consequences of our hearts closing are: lethargy, unhappiness, irritability, being uncentered, and being less magnetic to our good. These are pretty serious consequences.

One way of countering this is to remember that we can love something or someone that we don’t like. E.g. I can not like a person’s personality but I can still love that person as a child of God. I can not like that it is snowing but I can love moisture, and plant growth, and skiing and . . .

And for that matter I can just tell myself that I love snow or that I love that person. It is all just a made up story anyway – not a universal truth. (There are so many times we have totally flip flopped about what we like and do not like.) So I might as well make up something that makes my life better and happier.

“I love” is going to serve you a whole lot better that “I don’t like”.

Much Love,
