Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Living according to God's will can also be seen as a surrender, in which we give up the ways, expectations, and conditions we impose on life in order to align ourselves with the Way that exists harmoniously for everything and everybody. Surrender in this sense really means to give up into a state in which all our needs are supplied. I call this a high state of cooperation.

Focus on love, the divine love. It can increase circulation, increase oxygen supply, increase vitality. You can feel great. Dis-ease disappears.

The Soul is everywhere. It's in the laughter. It's in the twinkle in the eyes. It's in the touch. It's in the empathy you experience when someone else is hurting. It's in the joy you experience when someone you love is happy. It's in all of that and more.

Take a few moments just to appreciate your body for the way it has always served you. You are simply loving and appreciating your body, just the way it is.

Know that your salvation is at hand, that what you have prayed for in your Soul through all your existence is once again being brought to you.

I saw loving as a key to freedom. I saw that as I could love each and every action, without judgment or concern, I created my path to freedom. I saw that the Soul was masterful at accepting and experiencing whatever was presented. I saw that the Soul exemplifies purest loving because it does not judge any choice and recognizes that there is learning with every choice.

My eyes were opened to the purpose of emotions, how they hold us to the lower levels as long as we do not use them for our own freedom. I saw that when emotion is negative, it reaches out to control, to possess, to have. It restricts; it binds; it inhibits. I could see how that applied to my life. I could see that when I had sought to have something in life - be it a particular relationship or job or object - that desire restricted me and left me less free than before. I could see how people put the acquisition of things first in their lives, thinking this will bring them peace and happiness, only to find themselves further and further away from the happiness they seek. In a positive sense, emotion is loving, caring, empathy. It allows people to feel connected, to banish loneliness, to enhance the sense of community and oneness.

Certain personality traits tend towards the use of drugs. One of the main ones is the trait of adventure. Adventurous people will experiment just to have something to do. This trait often seems to be "the venture before the fall." If you're doing what's right and proper, you're directing yourself and you're staying out of trouble. But when you become adventurous without direction, you leave yourself open to whatever's coming your way. Another trait that is prevalent in drug users is that of impetuosity. If you can learn to think before you move into action, you probably won't use drugs. You'll direct your adventures; you'll channel them and make them work for you - like the adventure of learning, painting the house, finding a new book to read, climbing a mountain, or something like this. Impetuosity gets you moving, but then you need to direct yourself into things you really want to be involved with. Think before you jump into your next choice, and you can start getting more of what you really want. This takes practice and builds strength.

One attitude you can take when you have caused yourself pain and discomfort through your actions is one of quietness and serenity. That attitude can sustain you through almost anything. Focus on the moment without looking ahead to next week or next month or next year. Just hold yourself present in the now - at each point - and deal with whatever presents itself to you in the moment. Usually life is not too difficult that way. Much suffering seems to occur when you look back into yesterday or forward into tomorrow.

Don't expect other people to make you happy; make your own happiness. Then you'll be shining forth the spiritual love.
