When we are loved, just as we are, we learn to trust our own instincts. Once we trust our own instincts, we move forward in life with a sense of sureness or resolve.
Love is a powerful thing. It’s like light. Doesn’t that TV commercial say the human eye can detect the light of a single match in the dark, ten miles away? Dang.
Love seems to operate in the world like that. The unconditional regard from one person to another can bring light to years of darkness from abuse, rage or hurt.
And when years of hurt and darkness in a person are illuminated by the light of love, that loved person goes forward with a new light that brightens the eyes of many that person sees over the course of a lifetime. And then all those people touched by that light which was once darkness bring more light into the eyes of all those they see. Love has this power in the world. Love has this power in the heart.
The resolve born in the heart of a person who feels truly loved changes the way life feels for that person.
First the person loved begins to feel strong enough to look deeply into the eyes of his or her own emotions: fear, anger, sadness, joy, hope.
Once those emotions are fully accepted in the self, those emotions provide better guidance. With better guidance, now from within, the self creates a life that feels better.
From this life that feels better, the self loved deeply by another begins to love deeply the self. When we love ourselves deeply, we become more clear about who we are and what we want.
As we become more clear about who we are and what we want, decisions come more easily. As our decisions, based on guidance from our own feelings, produce a better life, we walk moment to moment with a core, solid, palpable sense of resolve. This quality of resolve supports us feeling safe in the world, because we feel safe with ourselves.
Fear seems contagious, but so does love. Which will you catch?
