Loving Unconditionally

Nothing in life causes more pain and suffering than the judgments we hold about and against others and ourselves. I think Byron Katie says it best: “When you argue against reality, you will suffer.” Judgments are the thoughts or arguments we hold about or against what is, what was, and what should be. All judgments create suffering and need to be forgiven.

Releasing Judgment 
Every interaction and experience in life offers the opportunity to become aware of those things that we do not recognize and/or do not accept about ourselves. This is the foundation of all judgments. It is very easy to point out in others the things we deny, dismiss, avoid, excuse, and resist acknowledging that we actually believe are true about us.
When we are willing to be emotionally honest, we will discover that the reactions we have to circumstances, situations, and people give us more information about ourselves than about anyone or anything else. Every upsetting encounter is triggering an emotion that is present on our internal landscape.
When someone makes a remark about us, it may trigger hurt or fear or sadness.

If you want to awaken happiness in the world around you, start by living a life that makes you happy, and then radiate your happiness outward.  If you want to eliminate suffering in the world, start by eliminating the dark and negative parts of yourself, and then radiate your positivity outward.  Truly, the greatest power you have in this world is the power of your own self-transformation.  It starts with the one in the mirror. 
Today will never come again.  Be a blessing.  Be a friend.  Make a difference.  Take time to care.  Tell someone how special they are.  Do something that encourages a smile and a brighter day.  By doing so, you will not only help those around you, you will help yourself too.  Because when you seek to inspire happiness in all people, you will not only find it, you will become it. 

But I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be.  For I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. 

We carry the seeds with us in our minds wherever we go.


Met a friend on Sunday, I was thinking about him recently because I had a vision about his wife a short time before. We sat down for coffee and I asked him about his wife, and he told me that she was having many problems at work and with a relative who has been warded in hospital.

I ask him about his relationship with his wife and he reported that it was not so good, then I ask him another question, if he knew that his wife had only a few more months to live would this change his attitude towards her?
He could not give me a straight answer, but was disturbed about the fact that he might lose his wife soon. I told him that it did not matter as we do not know when we will die but the fact is that we do, die. If he has lived his life with no regrets and have treated all with love then he would have no problems even if loved ones leave us.

It did not matter if we know how much time we have left on earth, we must learn to live our lives with love for everyone and have no regrets that we did not. We should love our spouse unconditionally because it takes a lot of love to be able to be together as husband and wife in a life time.

We are here on this earth for a very brief time of maybe 100 years make the best of this journey and love as many as you can. Be Happy!

Thank You! I Appreciate You!
Best Wishes to All.
Always Better and Better.
