I Choose Love (Day 20 of 30)

Of all the emotions on the planet to choose from, which one would you choose to feel most often?

I choose love because it feels amazing!

It is interesting that so many of us choose hate in the world today given that love is available to us anytime we want. How? Because our thoughts create our feelings. It takes practice, but the choice is available to us.

We often choose hate for misguided reasons like wanting to punish the offender, when in reality they can’t feel our feelings. Feelings aren’t shareable. When we feel hate towards someone, we get to experience that all by ourselves. They only get to experience their interpretation of our actions. They have their own thoughts and feelings.

When we choose to love someone, we get to walk around experiencing that love. 😍 The other person doesn’t get to feel it unless we behave lovingly towards them. They don’t even need to know about it. It can be our little secret. What if we walked around feeling love towards everyone in our life? How amazing would our day be?! We can choose to love people regardless of what they they do. That is unconditional love. That is a choice available to us.

What if we loved just for our own sake? We don’t have to love for altruistic purposes.

We can start by practicing unconditional love on ourselves. Loving ourselves no matter what we do. Once we get better at this it becomes easier to extend this compassion and unconditional love to other people in our lives, and then to the rest of humanity. Just by loving ourselves we can have a wonderful ripple effect on the world.

This is how we start planting the seeds of change in the world. It starts with the kindle of love within ourselves. 💕

“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
