Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

That moment inside of you where you forgive whats happened is the moment when you are enlightening yourself.

You go to a person and forgive them only after you first have forgiven yourself for harboring what you held against them. Then you come to at-one-ment. Forgiveness leads to at-one-ment.

One of the great answers that applies to all of us is to "love thy enemy." The path to loving thy enemy is entered by forgiveness and traversed by an unconditional willingness to let go of the past and live in the presence of loving.

If you think all is lost and that you are not going to make it, I'd like to remind you of one thing about God and thats this: God is in the forgiving business.

If you truly believe that an imbalanced situation was the other persons creation, forgive the person and release the hurt, anger, or whatever it is that you are holding on to. Just release it from your consciousness. Don't hang on to it; let it go.

Sometimes the best way to make the most out of a situation is to get out of it. The other way is to accept it and be grateful that it isn worse. I find that its much easier to just love it all. When it shows up, I go, "Wow. Another form of loving. Another face of loving. Another expression of loving. Another location of loving." And then I get to participate in it. Thats grateful.

Thank God I'm doing this now instead of later, when I might not be able to do it. Thank God I got trashed today instead of next week, when it's going to be important. Thank God they beat me up today, so I'm stronger for next week. Thank God this opportunity came in right now, when I'm ready for it. And thank God I didn't handle it worse than I did. And that is just an attitude of gratitude.

Eventually, when we look back on our existence, we see it all as a blessing, so we thank God for the fear, we thank God for the doubt, we thank God for the anger. And we thank God as each form of negativity becomes unnecessary as a response in our lives.

If God is already supplying everything, before we even ask, why are we missing so much? It's because we are so busy asking that it was going by us. We should have said, "Open my eyes so I may see." That's the prayer, right there. It's very simple, all day long: "God, what is it you want from me?"

Feel gratitude for the person next to you. You find out that this is an easier, nicer way to live than trying to beat somebody out of something, to get ahead of them and compete.
