Recently I listened to one of Wayne Dyer’s tapes and he made me realise how we spend most of our lives cursing what we have, judging others and always longing for things in the distance. If only we could shift our attitude and choose to embrace instead of curse.
Take time today to appreciate everything that is around you today. The plants you see, the air you breathe, the moon, the sun and the people around you. Everything is there for a purpose and everything around you makes you who you are.
Imagine inhabiting this world alone, without the moon, without the animals, without other people. Would that be an inhabitable world? Of course not.
Even though we may not directly see how we are related to a stranger, just know that we are. We all emanate from the same Source, and are part of one thing.
Many of us have bought into the habit of cursing everything. We curse the weather. Make the choice to love everything, and appreciate even the weather, because without variations in weather conditions we would not be able to know the difference. Imagine if it was sunny at all the time, you would not even know the possibility of rain. So accept the world as it is, variety is the inherent nature of the universe. If you happen to hate difference, then you will always be frustrated because difference is the intrinsic nature of the world we inhabit. Accept that we are all different, look different, dress differently, eat differently and talk differently.
So instead of being so wrapped with ourselves, radiate love to the world. Abstain from constantly judging, cursing, winging and mourning. Fill your heart with love, love the world.
How do we love the world then you might ask? Through the simple act of sending out thoughts of love to a stranger, appreciating the trees around us and appreciating the difference in us. Remember; never underestimate the power of thought. Thought creates. Oh if you like in the words of Mike Dooley, ‘thoughts become things’. So when you send thoughts of love, you are actually creating a lovely world and when you send out aggression you will in turn get more of that. There is the power of love. So shift your attitude and send out love.
