I share with you a concept I have been meditating on all week: Am I more focused on taking love from others or giving love to others? Take a few minutes and honestly answer this question. So many of us are so hungry for love, attention, success--we are consumed with what we can get out of life and we forget the beauty of giving!
The irony of giving is that you experience love in a deep way when you are offering it to another person. You can't help but receive when you give!
The ultimate giver is one who plants love seeds everywhere she goes: smiles, kind words, good deeds, thoughtful care put into every moment. These seeds grow into incredible flowers, leaving a trail of exquisite beauty on the path behind her. Yet, the true giver feels no need to go back and pick the flowers that have grown. In fact, the giver is so busy enjoying sharing love that she rarely looks back to see the result. Planting the seeds as she moves forward is joy in and of itself.
The flowers that bloom are merely icing on the cake of love!
To be this kind of person giving love you must fill your own heart with love. Why wait to accept yourself, truly love yourself, until another day. Start today. You are amazing, incredible -- you are here for a special purpose. You will be more effective and enjoy life so much more when you understand that loving yourself is essential to well-being. As you feel good about yourself, then you have so much more energy to enjoy others.
If you aren't very happy with yourself, then plant a seed of self-love in your heart this week.
If you do love yourself, then open to the idea of planting love seeds wherever you go this week. Don't worry about the results...just plant away! The Universe will water and grow the seeds for you.
Have fun doing your planting!
I'll be planting with you,
Patricia Omoqui
