Loving Everyone Always
Am I loving me? How? Let me see.
Am I loving you? Is it totally true?
Am I loving all? That seems to be the call.
If fear is the absence of love, wherever there is fear, I must remember LOVE.
If lack of Love is a call for Love, wherever I am not loved must be calling for LOVE.
Where I am not at peace, I must be in conflict about Loving.
When I am not happy, I must be forgetting to Love it All.
Where I am not trusting, I must be doubting the Love I AM.
Where I am stuck, I must not be giving myself the freedom to Love.
I am here to remember Love.
I know the Love I am.
I was created in Love by Love for the Holy Purpose of Loving.
I was created by a Loving Source, the energy of Love. And so were You.
You are here to remember Love.
I know the Love You Are.
You were created in Love by Love for the Holy Purpose of Loving.
You were created by a Loving Source, the energy of Love Itself. And so are we all.
Everyone of us is created in the likeness and image of our Creator.
Everyone of us is created to create.
Everyone of us remembers or forgets the Love we are.
Everyone of us is meant to awaken all to remember the Love that lives in us.
Love is creative.
Love is patient.
Love extends itself.
Love is joyous.
Love is Good.
Love is responsible and response-able.
Love is energetic.
Love is forgiving.
Love is healing.
Yes, You are all of that Love and so much more.
Even those we seem to call “evil” or misguided” or ”crazy” or “fanatic” are Love itself.
Have you ever noticed when you are afraid. you cower and hide or attack to defend?
Have you ever noticed when someone you love is hurt, you want to get even?
Have you ever noticed when you are taught to hate, you do?
Have your ever noticed when people hate you, you fear them?
Have you ever noticed when you are afraid, you resist, avoid or attack?
How can love end the reign of fear? One by one.
You loving you. You loving me. Me loving you and We loving All.
Start where you are.
Loving you today.
It becomes easier to love each one who comes your way.
Love is letting go of fear.

HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF
1. STOP ALL CRITICISM
Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.
2. DON’T SCARE YOURSELF
Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.
3. BE GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT
Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.
4. PRAISE YOURSELF
Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.
5. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND
Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don’t hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.
6. SUPPORT YOURSELF
Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.
7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES
Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.
8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.
9. MIRROR WORK
Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day say: “I love you, I really love you!”
10. LOVE YOURSELF...DO IT NOW
Don’t wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now, and do the best you can.
