Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Love is the healer. Joy is the expression.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus says to his friend Cassius upon going into battle, "If we do meet again, why we shall smile; If not, why then, this parting was well made." I've often reflected on those beautiful words. No matter how we leave people, whether on a journey or in what we call death, let's make it a "well made" parting, where we part without remorse but with joy and love and perhaps a tear in the eye. In that joy we bring whomever we are leaving into right now, and we never miss them. We always have them in the loving consciousness within us. We have the inner fulfillment without the tugging, theirs or ours. And we are okay missing them because we have the fullness inside -- there is no lack. In this way we walk with the Beloved, the spiritual consciousness that we all are.

You may be blind to your own gifts, but within yourself you can become acquainted and familiar with your true nature and gain the skills and confidence to use your inherent gifts.

What most people want is to be recognized, loved, and appreciated. We can verbalize those by just saying, "I love you, I care about you. I want to know what you're doing, not out of meddling, out of caring for you. Because maybe I can assist you." That's called being a human being.

You can feel happy simply because you experience happiness in your nature. Real, lasting happiness does not come at the detriment of others or through againstness or denial of reality. You can learn to be happy and not in conflict with others or situations, regardless of what is going on. Others may not agree with your happiness. They may think that you are responding inappropriately. Clearly, there is too much pain, suffering, and misery in the world, so there is no need to add to it. If your happiness is misunderstood or judged by others, you can turn it to peace, understanding, and compassion by choosing to be happy regardless.

The Soul comes from and has its home in the Soul realm. It takes on a physical body and comes here to gain experience, and Earth provides many, many experiences.

If you can't love somebody, it's best to say, "I don't know who they are." That's a clear, precise, and honest statement, because if you don't love someone, you really don't know who they are. The person you criticize, the one you put down, is not known to you. Anyone who is truly known to you is loved.

There's majesty and there's beauty in everyone. If you could see it in yourself, you would not hassle yourself over that little bit of food, over that little bit of drink, over that little bit of cigarette, over this or over that, or where the next sex is coming from, or your occupation for the next fifty years. Instead, you would be totally in this moment, in the divine Presence -- not as an empty vessel, but as one where your cup runs over and you don't have to tilt it to give to anyone, but it just flows over because you're in the very beingness of reality.

It is indeed a blessing that we all have an abundance of gifts to share with each other.

Visualize the very best of yourself -- the joy and the loving flowing within you and out of you -- and hold that vision inside you. As you hold that vision, it will become a reality because that's the real you. Essentially, I'm asking that you go to the place that responds when you hold a child, the place that awakens when you help someone just for the pleasure of doing it. Connect with the sacred energy that comes alive when you express loving.
