Weekly Insights: Loving Because We Can...

As we energetically flow into a new age, we also grow into who we really are. What we feed our energies into is what we are growing in our lives, and it comes down to our values, beliefs, and courage to live authentically. How do we take care of ourselves? How do we treat others - family, friends, or someone we have never met before? When it comes down to it, we are here to live our best lives, and in order to do that, we have to embody the highest version of ourselves.

When we stand in Love, speaking up for what is right, doing the right thing when it may not be the popular thing to do, and living honestly and authentically, we do great justice to ourselves and our surroundings. It takes courage to live in a high frequency. There is pressure as we raise our vibration to reflect the grace and subtle power of the Light. It is not the easiest thing to always do the right thing all of the time. Whether it is the way we treat ourselves with the foods we choose to eat, the time we spend taking care of our health and exercising, the way we speak of ourselves, the amount of rest or time off we allow ourselves to have, etc., or the way we show up in the world for others and the planet, the energy we put into something is always what we will feel in return. It all begins with us, and the more open we are, the more we are able to see, feel, and live in truth.

Beyond the human jerseys we wear, the teams we decide to be on, the bias' we feed into, or the communities we associate with, we are spirits in human suits expressing ourselves in this physical experience. We get to decide if we are going to help, empower, serve, speak up for, and support others, or harm, lie, cheat, steal, and con another living being. It is easy to hide behind a "cause" or a group mentality, but the truth is that each of us has the willpower to do and be whatever we choose. Observing the human population, we see the paradox manifest in some people of holy status who do horrific things to others, and some people with terrible past records showing up as heroes in the world at different times. The duality of the physical world will always exist, and it is our choice to express our energies in the ways that align with who we are and the moral standards we live by. People can change themselves and can be morally changed by others when the 'cost to benefit ratio' lines up a certain way. Unless we live by a specific moral standard, and have the discipline to abide by it no matter what the circumstances may be, we are always choosing our behaviors from one situation to another. When no one is watching and we have the choice to help someone or leave them to suffer, what do we choose to do? Who are we when no one expects us to be anything?

The beauty about being human is that we can Love each other, help one another, and serve those in need every day of our lives. We can show up and contribute to our communities and help change lives whenever we want. This lifetime is filled with opportunities to be kind, to go the extra mile, and to share our greatest talents with all who are open to receiving from us. The easiest choice is to walk away or ignore another living being who could use our help. It takes energy, willpower, and a strong desire to give, especially when we aren't getting paid to do it or receiving recognition for it. The people in our history that served without the desire for gain are some of our most revered examples of greatness. People like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, MLK, Rosa Parks, and so many others made huge personal sacrifices for the greater good. Today, we have a new era of heros like Greta Thunberg, John Lewis, and Malala Yousafzai that have chosen to make the sacrifices they have made to help the planet and promote freedom for others. We don't have to be public figures to make a difference. The greatest heroes are those doing the little acts of kindness in our local communities every day. These little acts build momentum for the bigger acts, and they inspire others to pay it forward. Each of us has the ability to tip the energy scale in our communities toward a more Loving and kind frequency, and we can be the living examples of Love and grace that we admire in others. We can because we chose to do it. No one has to ask us to go out of our way for each other, but in the end, everyone gets to reap the positive effects that trickle down from the well of blessings that pour out of us.

Just for the sake of it, what can we do today to make life a little "Lighter" for us all? Why even ask this question? Because we only live once, and Love is the only eternal energy in the Universe that is real. Be Love, generate Love, spread Love, speak with Love, feel the Love, practice Loving more, share a Loving smile, and forgive others with a Loving heart. This world could use a major Love-alution. Are you ready to be part of it? Start simply, and decide to Love the self today. From that seed, each of us can grow an abundance of Love to share with the world and beyond. It is that simple...

just LOVE!
