Some help to live in love and peace….

When you choose to ‘live love’,
life and love become easier.
Love makes you more aware
of people, blessings, beauty
and the simple goodness in
the world.

Love also has an inner voice
of wisdom. Love can and will,
direct you. Love amplifies
intuition and wisdom. Wisdom
and intuition will lead you
to make right choices for
your life.

Love is a spiritual power.
As Dr. Hawkins reveals in
‘Power vs. Force’, the
power of love far exceeds
willful human force.

One thing that choosing to
live love has done for me
is, its made me more aware
of situations and people that
I do want in my life as well
as those I don’t.

Love causes you to want to
live in peace. You cease
from all of your extraordinary
human effort and begin
to allow love to create the
life that you truly have
always wanted.

I was with a person that I
know as a casual acquaintance
this past week. In our
conversation, he said something
that I sensed as an attempt
to force some control over
me. It didn’t feel right to
me. It went beyond my
boundaries of what I want
to allow at this point in
time in my journey.

I thought about it. I talked
to myself about it. I decided
that I’m not at a place in my
life that I want to expose
myself to someone who
I perceive, is attempting to
control me. My choice now is
to limit my exposure to
this person.

The objective truth about this
person is, they are a very
giving and caring person.
However, their attempt to
control me was not something
that I was willing to allow.

It is no judgment of them
nor of what they were
attempting to do. It was
me knowing where I am
in my own personal growth
and maturity and knowing
what is good for me and
what is not.

Had the situation been
something that had a
noble end or something
that, though it made me
uncomfortable, was
challenging me to grow
personally, I would have
viewed it differently.

My personal growth came
from my decision to limit
exposure to this person.

Now, you may feel that
you are at a place spiritually
and emotionally where you
can be around people like
this and still maintain the
level of peace that you
desire within. If you feel
that way, I think that is
great. I’m not presently
and need to set some
boundaries for myself.

Learn to listen to the inner
voice of wisdom. It is an
amazing gift when you
choose to live love. Learn
to listen more to your
intuition and inner voice.
Then, take action on
what you hear. You
can trust that voice to
deliver the life that you
truly do want to live.

Avalanches of love to you,
Michael

Love desperation……

This is something many people
deal with ‘over and over and over’
in their lives. It might be something
that you’ve had to deal with. It isn’t
fun. In fact, it is quite painful. I want
to help you today. Especially if
you’re feeling this pain.

A lady wrote me recently and was
nearly suicidal. She and her
’signo’ (my word for significant
other) were on the outs. She
felt quite desperate and was in
a very deep depression.

Depression isn’t fun. I’ve been
there when you didn’t care
whether you see another sunrise
or not. It is serious.

There are several reasons
why a breakup is so traumatic.

The number one reason I’ve
found is, the person who has
been broken up with gets
into a mindset that they
can’t or won’t find anyone
else to love them.

You may have been told that there
is only ONE soul mate for you in
your life. The subconscious problem
is, ‘we don’t feel worthy or deserving
enough to believe that someone else,
will love us’.

This is a huge lie that we buy into and
believe. There is more than ONE
person on this planet that can
be a perfect soul mate for you.

Two, especially after a breakup,
you may not feel worthy or
deserving of love. The truth is,
you have to own whatever you
did, good or bad, in the relationship.
However, you can’t own what some
one else did. Everyone is responsible
for their own actions, period.

There are many other reasons why
you might feel desperate, depressed
or devastated after a breakup.
But these two are the main causes
I’ve seen.

The truth is, love is such an amazing
gift that, when its taken away, it
hurts deeply.

I want to close today by saying,
YOU are worthy of love in your
life. You are deserving of having
a nurturing, caring, supportive,
empowering and amazing
relationship. It can and will
happen if you don’t give up.

As always, love yourself first.

And know this,

I love you from my heart,

Michael

Love fantasy…..

Do you think love is just a
fantasy? Do you feel that
it is something that might
seems ‘right’ to talk about,
but, in reality, you’ll never
have it?

I’ve lived a half century so
far. I’ve known true
romantic love a few times
in my days on the planet.

I’ve experienced amazing
times in my life. I’ve known
success. I’ve known what
its like that it seems nothing
you do will work.

I’ve had more than my
share of great friends.
In fact, some truly
amazing people have
crossed my path ‘up
close and personal.’ I
feel very blessed. I’ve
known love. Giving and
receiving.

I see a lot of people who
are my age, some older
and some, much younger.
Many of them have given
up on love. They’ve
been hurt. They’ve seen
a lot of hate. Too many
have been used and
abused. Some severely.

I walked into a
restaurant in Las Vegas
with a friend of mine.
The restaurant opened
up into a bar area. A
beautiful African American
young lady was singing
a song by Bonnie Raitt.
The words are, “I can’t
make you love me if
you don’t.” I never felt
such sadness.

The song, though, is
still about a person who
doesn’t feel loved but
continues to love
anyway. I thought
‘been there, done that.”

I hope you haven’t lost
your desire and hope for
love. You are lovable.

I hope I can encourage
you to never give up on
love. When YOU quit
loving, you quit living.

As I’ve said so many times,
love yourself, love God
and love others. Hold
your intention or prayer
for love closely to your
heart and mind. Love
is not going to disappoint
you.

You are made for love.
To give love and to be
loved.

And know this, Michael
Murphy, along with
over 1,000 others here
in this group, loves you.

Michael

What do you want in your life?……

There’s very few things that I want
in my life. However, those few things,
I want in abundance.

I’m wondering about you. What do
you want? I thought I might open my
heart and share my deepest desires.
Perhaps it can help you to express
yours as well.

If you want to write me and share with
me, I promise you complete confidentiality.
Just to let you know that someone is here.

What I want in my life.

I want a spiritual connection that is so
evident that I sense it in greater
intensity more and more each day.

I’ve felt this way since I was seventeen
years old. Love awakened me spiritually
back then. It is still what moves me today.

I want to know the love of people. So
many people write me and let me
know how much they appreciate me
and my sharing on here. I can never
express how much it means to me to
have YOU in my life. I appreciate you!

I’ve never had anyone question my
sincerity of love. All I can say is, I
feel it so deeply and some completely.

I want to do all I can to not only love
and awaken love in women (who find
it so easy to love and express love),
but, I am so blessed to be able to
help men awaken and express the
love they feel and desire in their lives.

Its kind of interesting that women,
for the most part, feel free to
write on the wall of my profile while
most men, write me emails. No
matter. I’m happy to help them
get past whatever fears they have
in order to express what they are
feeling deep inside. You are no
less of a man. I know first hand how
good it feels and how wonderful
it makes your life when you can
express what’s in your heart.

The third and last thing I want in
my life is to touch as many lives
as I can with love, encouragement,
inspiration and empowerment. If
I can’t wrap my arms around you,
(and I’m a big guy, 6′3″ and can
give a pretty good bear hug
then I’m thankful that I’ve been
blessed to wrap my words around
you.

If you need someone to share with,
I’m here for you. I care. I care about
you.

I’d also love to know how these
notes that I write are helping you.
Let me know. I need to know and
you need to share it.

From my heart filled with love,
to yours,

Michael

Much love, Michael
_______________________________
Every person is like a mirror.
When you love with no expectations,
not just the people you like,
but most of all the people
that you would consider impossible
to love, (please make a list of all
the types of people that you think
you could never love). Then give
each and everyone your love and
send them light so they can also
see and find love within themselves.

When in person you feel an energy
that repels you from a specific
person, that is a sign that you
are not reflecting yourself in their
mirror and they are not reflecting
themselves in yours.

This is how it works..just decide to
love EVERYONE and concentrate
in looking at them in their true attire,
their true essence, their eternal
spirit not their body, not their ego,
not their actions, just their never
ending soul. Awesome things occur
when you decide to first love yourself
and then find the reflection of your
love in others.

Funny story that I do as an exercise
while shopping, for example in a
very busy and diverse store
(i.e. Walmart) in my mind I say to
EVERYONE in my perimeter of vision,
” I love you and send you light ! ” and
then I keep saying to everyone that
I encounter ( in silence , if not they
might think I’m crazy,LOL) ‘I Love You,
I love you, I love you, I love you, I
love you, I love you, by now you
get the point.

Simply start to love yourself first and
forgive yourself constantly and
immediately! Everytime you catch
yourself faltering , or what I call
“falling out of love with yourself”
just say I’m starting all over again,
I forgive myself for this temporary
mishap and I go forward , in this
Bliss of loving me. all of a sudden
you will start reflecting yourself in
others and you will, ( guaranteed)
start helping others do the same.

You will not be able to keep the
people away from you , you will
become a magnet of Love, a beautiful
mirror , where there is only one
reflection, the reflection of our
collective ONENESS which is the
one and only thing that matters….LOVE!

Maybe you need this today……

I want to share something
with you today that might
just speak to you right now.

Love is a feeling down deep
inside. It often comes from
making the conscious choice
‘to love.’ I think you’ll agree
that it is THE most amazing
feeling you can experience.

I believe that love can be
a place that we live in.
Especially in our close
relationships and with a
significant other.

It starts with an attitude.
A choice that you are
going to be conscious
enough to purposely take
actions and communicate
in a way that expresses
your heart.

The most important
actions you can take
is in choosing the right
language to express
love.

I was talking to a
friend the other day
about his strained
relationship with his
daughter. She had
done some things
that he felt were
unacceptable. He
was concerned about
her punishment.

He asked for my
advice. I told him,
“Make sure that you
lay a firm foundations
of the assurance of
your love.”

He said, “Well, I’ve
already told her that
I love her. Do I need
to tell her again?” If
I didn’t know how
serious he was, I
would have chuckled.

I told him, “Man, this
whole process with
your daughter is a
journey of love.
You’ve only gone
the first mile. There
are hundreds of
miles to go.”

Unexpressed love is
like a vault with a
billion dollars in it.
Its worthless until
you open the door.

Tell those in your life
that you do love,
what they mean to
you.

I want you to know
that because of you
and your heart to
truly care and love
others, I am the most
blessed man alive on
the planet. You bless
my life and make my
soul smile.

I love you and
appreciate your
presence in my life,

Michael

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

How to attract the love you long for……

In writing these notes, I’ve created
a bit of a dilemma for myself. I am
learning that as I pour out of my
own heart, the love that I feel
towards others, I’m getting more
and more love back. As this love
overflows (which it always will), I’m
left with giving more and more love
to others.

That’s the way love is. It is a powerful
spiritual force. I can’t explain it. I can
write about it. I can write about it
in poetry that is sweet to the heart
and ears. In fact, I’ve written
several poems trying to describe
love. But still, its indescribable.

A sweet lady wrote me yesterday
and said that she didn’t know if
love would ever find her again.
I knew what she was saying.
She wants, needs and longs for
the love of a man in her life.

I told here to start focusing
on loving strangers that she
sees in the grocery store. She
doesn’t have to go up and hug
them or even tell them that
she loves them. Just feel it
in your heart and show it with
your smile. Show it in your
actions.

AS you choose to do this,
that ‘right, special someone’
will show up in your life. You
can trust the power of love
to bring you exactly who
you need in your life.

Love changes YOU. It makes
you more attractive. It makes
you physically attractive. Plus,
it sets you up to have the
loving, caring, supportive and
incredibly fulfilling relationship
that you’ve always dreamed
of having.

Think about these simple words
I’m sharing with you today.

I know this.

I love you,

Michael

Live the love life………

When I was 17 years old, I seemed outwardly
like I had it all together. I was well liked. Had
several friends. Was somewhat ‘known’ in my
high school. I had been class president my
sophomore year.

The truth was, down deep inside, I felt like
a fake. I was scared, insecure, unsure of myself,
didn’t feel all that smart and was pretty much
terrified of girls.

I’d gone to church most of my life. I didn’t
like it. Didn’t like the judgment that I felt.
Didn’t like the ‘meaness’ that I felt from many
people there. Didn’t feel the love that I
knew that I needed.

Then, in an instant, everything changed. A
minister came to our church who opened
his heart and mind to everyone. He wasn’t
delivering the message that all the others
had.

Clyde started loving this tall skinny kid
(the ’skinny’ part took several years
to change . Clyde treated me with
amazing love and inclusion. I’d never felt
that before.

I didn’t see myself as ’spiritual’. I loved
to party and do whatever it took to
‘check out’, mentally, emotionally AND
spiritually. I wanted to ‘check in’ socially
and do what it took to be accepted,
admired and hopefully, loved.

Clyde believed in me. He saw the potential
in me. He let me know. He delivered his
message on the wings of grace and love.

It changed my life. I’ve never been the
same.

I went from being a kid with no thoughts
of the future, to planning to go to
college and actually doing something with
the life I’d been given.

You now know why I talk about, believe
in and am totally focused on love. Love
changed my life. With love came
encouragement and later, empowerment.

I learned a spiritual truth a long time
ago about what I experienced. It said,
“How can a man say that he loves God
and yet hate his brother.” The implication
is, he can’t.

Love is what life is all about. Love is
what God and spirituality is all about.

As I’ve shared, there is only one love.
I know it as ‘agape’. It is divine. It is
spiritual. It is expressed and is intended
to be expressed in our love for friends
and ‘loved ones’. It is intended to be
expressed romantically.

I want to live in this bubble of love.
It doesn’t isolate me from others.
It brings me closer to them. I feel
even closer to someone when
I choose to love them.

I wanted you to know a little more
of my story. Hopefully it resonates
with you and encourages you even
more to live the life of love.

I want you to know that you are
loved. By me and by many others
here connected with us. I want
YOU to be encouraged.

I want to say directly from heart
to your heart, make love your life.
It will transform you and help you
to help others be transformed.

Waves and waves of love to you.

I love you,

Michael
