It’s amazing in our society, how we are mentally conditioned! We are given so many things to focus on other than our true purpose for being blessed with life. Society passes down this “road map” to the American Dream of Success. When on this journey toward what we think will bring us fulfillment, we wear blinders so nothing can distract us from our course. Most times, those blinders block us from seeing what is actually most important.
How can each individual creation of God follow the same map?
Aren’t we all uniquely purposed and placed here to facilitate change, to enhance life as a whole?
What is the one most important element to strive for? The one thing that we naturally desire and are designed to give and share… is LOVE.
Our whole world revolves around love which comes in many forms: Self-love, Romantic Love, Brotherly Love, Family Love/ Kinship, Maternal/ Paternal Love, Love of God/ Nature/ All things. It is demonstrated so beautifully in nature, the love and care that was articulated through Creation how every facet of life is equally provided for. God is Love and we were created from Love to have Love and share Love. It is our greatest gift and the only solution to the emptiness and confusion we often feel. Only Love can fill the void.
Since our society doesn’t always promote the value of Love being most important in life, it is difficult for us to re-program our thinking once we find that the things we strive for on the surface of life still leave us unfulfilled. We must search deeper. “Surface Living” keeps us entertained, distracted, achieving man-made standards and goals, and prevents us from learning how to think and channel a deeper side of ourselves. Imagine how just keeping your television & computer off for one week would allow you time to open your mind and change your life. But in the meantime, we’re chasing vain or selfish goals, money, degrees, jobs, and the highlife and not taking time out for what really counts.
Can you imagine your life without love? Can you imagine what your life would be like if you focused more on attaining and maintaining love? Well, first you must acknowledge that Love starts within you. We must make efforts to truly appreciate, value, accept, and love ourselves first in order to spread love to others. Everything meaningful was created from love. Remember that the only true way to defeat physical death is by what you do in this life that lives on beyond your physical being. Love never dies.
