UNLIMITED LOVE/UNLIMITED JOY

Your ability to live a joyous, loving life is limitless. Decide today how much love and joy you want to experience. Regardless of current circumstances,just below the surface in each of us is an effervescent spirit fountain of pure “happy”. Sometimes when life seems unfair, we fail to acknowledge our own ability to alter our emotional reactions for the better. Instead we make things worse by rehashing the problem or blame ourselves or others for any unpleasantness. It is easy to fall prey to our own judgements about what is good or bad. The truth is that judgements are just that and not necessarily the reality of a situation.

Always that happy spirit within can be called forth. If you will think back over some of the so called “bad times” in your life and remember how your opinion of them changed as time passed, you will realize that we don’t always see the larger picture. We don’t always understand that one situation has to run its course before there is the time and space for another to appear.

Remember the painful loss of one employment can lead to a better one. The loss of a companion can make way for an even more fulfilling relationship. Admittedly, the holidays can be particularly difficult for those of us who seemingly celebrate alone. Many of us have watched as our family members scattered to the four winds. Some of us still mourn the loss of one or more close friends. At these times of the doldrums it is particularly important to know how to elevate our thoughts and consequently change our emotions to a lighter vein.

The one technique that I find to be infallible for emotional lifting is the expression of my personal gratitude. Find just one good, pretty or happy thing or person in your life today and heap that with all the thankfulness you can muster. If you will do this (out loud if you are alone!) you will immediately find even more situations, people etc. for which to be grateful. As you feed your own thankfulness for your life and all that you have, you will not only make yourself happier, you will begin to feel a desire to make other people happy too. There are so many things that you can do or say to lift another person, stranger or not. Just an empathetic word or a genuine compliment can make someones day and give you a glow around your own heart.

You were born to express the love that you are. So, light up your heart. Make it sparkle. Shine your light and love out to the world. Give the gift that costs you nothing and pays such marvelous dividends. Someone needs your joy and your love today!
