Welcome to 2022 where we are full of woke cancel culture, world wars, economic uncertainty, and government overreach. How in the world are we supposed to LOVE WELL when we are barely hanging on for dear life?
For 100+ years, we’ve empowered the entertainment era; a time when we sit back and things just happen. We go to the movies, or stream the latest show, and relax. The show/flick does the rest. We go to the supermarket with thousands of foods to choose from. Choices are everywhere; we’re used to pushing a button and feeling satisfied, yet most of us feel numb and unhappy. Our souls have holes.
Making SELF the object of our highest affections is not best for us. It is, in fact, a lethal distraction.” –John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste Your Life.”
LETHAL: causing great harm or destruction; deadly.
When we don’t intuit what is right we rely on society to give us the rules of the road. We have romantic books, films, and media products that seem to go out of their way to define love in a way that creates unrealistic expectations and leads to FEAR.
Are you living on the side of love or fear?
It’s a hard thing to do. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to do. People thrive in healthy relationships where it is safe to love and be loved, to know and be known. Yet for many, relationships are anything but safe, loving, or intimate. They are defined by anxiety, manipulation, control, and conflict. Most people have never been trained to be powerful enough to keep their love on in the face of mistakes, pain, and fear. Say goodbye to fear and say hello to love.
How to Keep Your Love On
I learned the powerful skill of discerning how much truth someone can receive depending on where that individual lives on the spectrum of love versus fear. The more they live on the fear side, the more judgment, and the less authentic I can be. Those who live from love can receive it all. It is profound, deeply connected, and the speed at which love flows continues to amaze me.
Love is NOT a feeling or an emotion, it is an action verb. It requires sweat equity. There is no such thing as passive love.
Mature Love stays “on” no matter what. To act in a loving way in the midst of our own needs often requires sacrifice, and involves taking the time and effort to understand what others want and need that is different from our own. Here are 7 choices you can implement TODAY to get back onto the path of love.
Choose to be yourself 100% and practice self-care without fear of judgment.
Choose to be present when it would be easier to play on your phone.
Choose to fill someone’s happiness bucket - sow your time talents, and treasures into others
Tell someone that you love them, for to feel loved is a deep longing in the human psyche and reinforces a lot of wonderful energies.
Back up what you are saying by what you do with them and for them.
Supporting and encouraging others is powerful indeed.
Honor and cherish others no matter what choices they make.
I want to live further along this side of the spectrum for it has no end–love is eternal. Each moment will be that much more joyful, meaningful, happy, and continue to create the kind of life I want to be experiencing. Spiritual growth attracts experiences that are nothing short of miraculous.
Love Always, Lindsay
