the simple thing in life: love

Happy Sunday to all!  I must say that I am devoting Sundays to reflection and a closer look into what matters most, along with words of true inspiration.  I guess for the moment, I want to focus on what matters most.  What matters most are moments and moments are all we have. We have this shell that we sit inside called a body, and we have this feeling within called a spirit, and we have our minds, our very precious minds.  (You may be asking where I'm going with this and I must tell you to hang in here, I'm going somewhere).  

With all that we have, we make choices based on our desires, goals, needs, wants, and what we feel is appropriate for us to have at a given time in our lives.  Some chase things that they know are not achievable but that keeps life interesting.  I suppose what I am getting at this morning is quite simple, the bottom line is find something you love, and do it...

Find someone whom you love and tell them.  The most simple thing in life to do is to love! (Keep in mind you will only hear this mushy stuff on Sundays!!!!!  The rest of the week I am all business, but today is especially special and all who are reading this can feel me, I know).

Go about your day today with a single purpose and that is to extend yourself, change a life, make a difference and get that really cool feeling that makes you feel like you have purpose on this earth!!!  Drive and hunger is great but what you are driven by is PURPOSE!!  People and others create purpose for us and we are all creatures of purpose and habit.  Purpose is why we do the things that we do.

So go out today, and love purposefully those whom matter most in your life.  Be present to the dreams, goals and desires with an open heart and mind and simply come from a place of love! You will be amazed at what will occur for you, the feeling is PRICELESS!

Excerpt from my favorite book: (READ BELOW)

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis and one of the most important figures in psychology, said that unless the personality has love, it sickens and dies.  Love includes understanding, goodwill, and respect for the divinity in the other person.  The more love and goodwill you emanate and exude, the more come back to you.

If you puncture someone's ego and wound her estimate of herself, you cannot gain her goodwill.  Recognize that everyone wants to be loved and appreciated.  Everyone needs to feel important in the world.  Realize that the other person is conscious of her true worth.  Like yourself, she feels the dignity of being an expression of the one life-principle animating all people.  As you do this consciously and knowingly, you build up the other person, and she returns your love and goodwill.

Live today with heart and soul,

Tammy
