The light of love…..

The light of love,
dispels the dark.
With the spirit of love,
My soul does embark.

On the marvelous journey,
the adventure of life,
with joy and with gladness,
its blessings are rife.

To allow it to shine,
Fulfilling the heart,
like mellowed sweet wine,
True living does start.

To share it with those,
Who love or oppose,
It is your choice and mine,
To let this love shine.

Love to you, today,
Michael

Thank you very much for such a beautiful message of love.

When I decided to “drop off” from what you could call the “Business” world for almost 2 years, it was because i realized that life what so much more than what you could actually see, hear or touch. That essence or true nature that guides us is totally unseen, inaudible and untouchable, it has never began and it will never end. Interesting how by not knowing how to explain this phenomenon we are constantly aware of the fact that this translates from this ambiguous state into a paradox of unity.
For it is through love, and love only, that we can constantly be in touch with this indescribable conundrum that if we trust completely , will ALWAYS lead us to where we need to go.
You see the simplicity of our choices lies in in one simple question that we should ask ourselves every time we are to make a decision on what to do or how to act when faced with small or big decisions. That question is;
“Am I doing this coming from fear (or all the other heads of the same monster, like shame, pride, alter ego, retaliation,etc.) or am I doing this from LOVE?” The choice is always simple and at the same time can be made complex by so many justifications that can surround our decision process. But at the end it always boils down to you and you alone. You can never fool yourself, so it is very simple , ALWAYS, ALWAYS choose LOVE!

This will help you get over fear……

As I’ve shared with you, love is
the greatest power on the planet.
It can and does overcome anything.

I don’t know if you’re experiencing
this, but a lot of people are fearful
of what is going on in their lives
and in the world. We are living
in challenging times.

Franklin Roosevelt intended well
when he said that we have nothing
to fear except for fear itself.
However, there is only one thing
that overcomes fear. And that is
love.

Think about fear and what it is.
Zig said that fear is, ‘false evidence
appearing real.’

I like to think about it this way. Fear
is not knowing what is ahead in
your life and feeling as if it isn’t
going to be good. Fear is associated
with darkness, the unknown.

Love, on the other hand, casts
a light on the unknown. As I’ve
shared with you before, ‘light
always overcomes darkness.’
Thus, love dispels fear.

Here’s the challenge.

Fear creeps in and takes over your
mind. It will dominate your thoughts
with expectations of gloom and doom.

Love is something that you choose.
Yes, love is deeply emotional. But
it must first be a choice.

You know that if you are in a relationship,
or ever have been, there are times
when you must ‘choose’ to love the
other person. Females do this and
understand this better than us guys.

You know that there are times
that you ‘must choose’ to love
the man. It doesn’t always come
naturally. The love is there. And
it is real. But there are times
that it is a choice.

Well, I feel that the same is
true with choosing to focus
on love rather than living in
fear. You choose to focus on
loving yourself, loving life, loving
others, loving God, loving everything
around you. When you do
this, the darkness of fear
instantly vanishes. It can
come back. But the key is
to ‘choose love’. Become
conscious of the power of love
and what it does for you in
your life.

Focus, focus, focus on love.
What do you love about
your life? What do you love
about things that have happened
for you in your life? What are you
thankful for in your life? Even
the smallest things in life.

I want to help you overcome
and get through whatever
you might be going through.
There is a brighter day if you
are facing some dark days.

Choose love. It will light your
way, showing you the way
and taking you where you
want to go.

Waves of love to you today!

From my heart to your heart!

How To ‘Faith’ The Future

I am grateful for the comments that were made to my last post. Divine inspiration continues this morning regarding this different perspective to a common yet misunderstood universal principle.

What Do You Think You Are ‘Facing’ In The Future

Imagine your future being dictated by all that is happening in the world right now. The economy. The government. Your job or business. Your relationships. Perhaps your children.

Where is it all going? To what end is it all headed?

Fear and faith are both processes of belief. Fear believes that something bad is going to happen. Faith proactively believes that something good is going to happen in your future.

Both of these belief processes preempt your future. They give you insight into your future. They foretell, prophesy and predict your future.

My great-grandfather was known to arise every morning and tell, ‘Mami’ (Katherine, my great grandmother) that he sensed that something bad was going to happen today. Guess what. He was never disappointed. He feared that day and the events that would happen. His fear was realized. Not through ‘fate’. But through the believing process of fear.

Your future is going to be ‘faced’ with fear or faith. Both produce future outcomes.

A buddy of mine was recently going through some difficult situations. He told me that he just couldn’t ‘face’ what was about to happen in his family. He said, “It’s going to be hard.”

I suggested that he NOT ‘face’ his future. By the look on his face and the fear I heard in his voice and words, he was about to project fear into his future. He was preparing himself for certain doom and gloom; failure.

I suggested that instead of ‘facing’ his future with fear and anticipation of a negative outcome, that he ‘FAITH’ his future. At first he was bewildered and didn’t have a clue as to what I was talking about. After I explained he ‘got it’ and said he would act on what I suggested.

I hear many people tell me that ‘faithing’ the future is difficult at best and usually doesn’t work. They ask the question, “Why is it so hard to have faith and believe for a positive, fruitful, prosperous, happy outcome?” That is a fair question. The good news is, I know exactly ‘why’ it is easier to ‘fear’ the future and not ‘faith’ the future.

Ready? Hold on to your hat, toupee or wig if you have one on. This is going to be profound. Life changing. Earth shattering. O.k. I’m just joking. It isn’t profound at all. It can be life changing though.

The reason that ‘fearing’ the future is SOOO easy is, we are all good at it. I mean, we’ve had a lot of practice ‘fearing the future.’ Think about it. How good are you at flying a Boeing 777? Unless you are one of those rare few people who fly a Boeing 777 (I actually have a friend who works for American Airlines who is a pilot on one of these aeronatautical behomeths) you wouldn’t have much success in even getting it to the runway.

On the other hand, if you are like the majority of adults in this country, you don’t think twice about getting into your car and going anywhere you want to go. Why can you drive a car so easily and not fly a Boeing 777? Easy answer. You’ve driven a car thousands of times. You’ve never flown a Boeing 777.

Well, my guess is, you’ve rarely made the conscious decision to ‘faith’ your future. The reason ‘fearing’ negative things into your life and seeing them come to pass, is so easy, you are good at it. It came with practice.

The very fact that you’ve seen fear work so predictably PROVES my whole point here. If you’ve not consciously disciplined yourself to practice faith in everything in your life then, you don’t know whether it will work or not. Just because you tried it once and nothing happened like you wanted it to, is no reason why it won’t work.

Go sit in the cockpit of the Boeing 777. Take a look around. You don’t have a clue as to what all you’re looking at. What will be your response to the suggestion that you should take it up for a spin around town? You can’t do it.

‘Faithing’ your future is simply making a conscious choice that you are going to get control over your conscious mind. The conscious mind is the gatekeeper of the subconscious, the soul, your heart and your spirit.

The ancient wisdom says, “Guard your heart with all diligence; for from it flow ALL of the issues of life.” So ‘how’ do your guard your heart?

You do it by closing the gate of your conscious mind and carefully monitoring ‘who’ and ‘what’ you allow inside.

I was in Dallas recently at the very glitzy and trendy ‘W’ Hotel. It was around 9:30 p.m. As we were parking, I noticed a line that went on for at least a city block of people trying to get into the ‘Ghost Bar’ atop the hotel. A guy with a black suit on, no neck, at least a size 54 coat, bald head and sinister looking eyes, was determining who got in and who didn’t.

This guy is called (at least in my book) ‘the gatekeeper.’

I don’t know what his criteria was for you getting in or not. However, he had a rope that he only removed and allowed you through if you met his criteria.

Stand guard over your thoughts. You might even need to make some arrests of thoughts that got through when you weren’t paying close enough attention (take those thoughts captive). Allow in thoughts that are good, that are positive, that are of a good report, that will produce for you positive results in your future.

‘Faith’ your future by talking about all that you DO want while avoiding talking about what you DON’T want. Stop predicting your future through the belief process of fear. Start deciding what you want and only allow thoughts that positively support that.

Whatever you allow through the gate of your conscious mind will determine what you get in every area (all the issues) of life.
