Foundational Love

\"\"
“The truth that for our life one law is valid – the law of love, which brings the highest happiness to every individual as well as to all mankind.” 
~Leo Tolstoy~ 
Expressing authentic kindness and compassion creates the foundation of a joyful, fulfilling life. Consider the energy that unconditional love brings to your experiences. In its light, there would be no need for fear, complaint, judgment or blame. Because you seek it, you would discover love in every situation, no matter how it unfolds.
All that you experience is either an expression of love or an opportunity to bring loving energy into the present moment. Consider that before you speak and before you act. Ask yourself, “Am I adding love to the situation?” If so, proceed.
It may be difficult to immediately move into higher consciousness when in the midst of a challenge. In those moments, simply observe the thoughts that arise, notice what action the ego prompts you to take and purposely do the opposite or move into stillness. To see those who challenge you as souls that are helping you to grow and evolve is is a wonderful expression of self-love and your life will be better for it.
