Today's
Meditation:
Love
is by far the most positive force in the world, and it's a
force that we have to give actively to others if we want
it to have any positive effects on them.
Unfortunately, our super-strong entertainment industry
tends to present love as something that we "fall
in" to, something that "makes us whole,"
usually through an addictive relationship with another
person whom we "love."
But
if we learn to use love wisely, we can make a tremendous
difference in the world, even if it's in our own little
corner of the world. If we learn to give love, then
we can give many more important things to the people we
love: encouragement, courage, hope, peace, strong
self-esteem, a feeling of belonging, a feeling of being
important to someone. . . . Needless to say, the
list is a very long one.
Love
is a power. Those people who use love as such are
very powerful people indeed, though you'll rarely see them
in the spotlight or in the public eye. They don't
need public recognition, for they recognize themselves
what they're doing and what they're contributing to the
lives of others. Their love allows them to send the
strength of love on to other people, and that's enough.
Love
is a cause. Love causes things to happen; it causes
people to change, and it causes beautiful things to come
to pass. One of my greatest hopes in life is that
I'll learn how to use love in such a productive way before
I leave this planet, so that I can leave some seeds of
love behind when I go.
