The power of love is unlimited and without borders. I'm not talking about falling in love. I'm talking about the love that comes from appreciation, from understanding, from a lack of judgement.
There is a lovely quote that goes something like this "don't judge me until you've walked a mile in my shoes". In other words, appreciate that everyone is doing the best they can from their experiences in life.
Some years ago. I adopted an adult dog, to keep my other dog company. When I went to collect her I could tell that the family I got her from was indifferent to her.
She quickly settled in, but seemed rather distant and would never come when called. I tried bribing her with food, to no avail.
Then I tried showering her with love. That worked wonders! Everything she did that I approved of, she was told how wonderful she was (and ignored most of what I didn’t like her doing). She lapped it up as if she had never had it before, which may have been true.
I feel that the expression and the feeling of love is missing from most peoples’ (and animals’) lives, however affluent they may be.
How much better a world we would live in if, instead of:
we showed our love and/or appreciation on them. They are likely to have much greater benefit than from a gift. And so will you.
It's doubtful that anyone doesn't appreciate being recognised for who they are. You may not be able to find much to appreciate in some (usually very damaged) beings, but you can always find something.
Anyone who is significant in your life, have you told them how they enhance and enrich your life? How you appreciate your relationship?
Spend time really listening to another’s life story/problem, rather than telling them what to do. Very often, simply by sharing a problem, anyone discover the solution.
Children especially appreciate this. They too, often find the solution when they have shared their dilemma.
Tell your animal/s how much they mean to you. You are unlikely ever to be aware of just how much they do for you.
We are human and can get irritable or angry with someone sometimes. When we have calmed down, apologise for the outburst (if not for the reason) and try to understand the other's point of view.
You don’t have to agree, just appreciate they are different. Other areas include:
There is little that the power of love cannot overcome.
And for those who have been damaged by a careless upbringing, as so many are, good homeopathic treatment can restore balance and harmony.
