Spiritual Awakening: Healing The World With Love
This post was inspired by an encounter I had on Friday 10/12/12 as I was collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton, when I shared the reason why I was doing Relay and was told by the owner of the business I have many extra dollars but not for that. I stated you know it is upsetting that you couldn’t spare a dollar to help me honor my mother’s memory through my participation in Relay for Life. At that point a young man came to the counter very agitated yelling that that man gives more to charity than anyone else and you are offending me. I stated sorry wished him Namaste and left all the while thinking if you have to brag about your giving you are giving for the wrong reason then I remembered Jackie DeShanon’s song What The World Needs Now and started to sing that song and decided my next blog entry would be about healing the world with love.
So let’s begin and get ourselves in a frame of mind to show love and be an expression of love in all that we do. Finding the place where there is room to grow is a very importantt aspect of our path to heal the world with love. The growth starts within when your realize that you are a divine creation of GOD and you begin to recognize that and see that in others. Love is something we are all capable of giving all it takes is a desire to smile and be loving in all situations. At times this may be challenging as those you interact with may not understand the philosophy of being loving and caring in all you do or they may not be as passionate as you are in your various missions. I have often stated that when we realize the difference as to the way things should be and the way things are we can work toward the ways they should be.
As I think of the idea of healing the world with love I am reminded that those who have led with their hearts are the ones who have left their indellible mark on our plannet. The key to finding love is to firt love yourself so when you wake up each day build yourself up and find things that you love about yourself, through out the day remind yourself of those things, and at night before you rest be grateful for those things.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Heal The World With Love
I have often found messages in music and when I found the following video of 20 love songs I was compelled to shre it with you. What songs put you in the frame of mind to be loving in all you do?
I have found following the teachings of Leo Buscaglia, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and others have allowed me to love myself so I can love others.
Books often help to provide ways to heal the world with love
The idea of writing yourself a love letter is a great tool to help get you on your path to healing the world with love, and writing a gratitude journal will also help. By approaching what you do with love you will find that you begin to heal yourself and as you heal yourself you begin to heal the world.
As you begin to love yourself and spread your love remember to be loving and caring in all you do and to express yourself with kindness.
I chose to close with this song as it is as poignant today as it was when it was first released in 1985. The power of love is truly evident in this song and it reminds us that we have the power to heal the world with love.
May you be loved and show love in all you do.
