How to Love Your Life ( 8 Ways )

Who said life would be easy?  I use to dislike that phrase but now I realize more and more that my life is mine to own and that accepting the up and downs is normal and a kind of "necessary evil".  Who doesn't want to love their life?  I know that I do have the power to be in a place of love around my life situation whether it is perfect or not.  What we must know is that no one's life is perfect.  Here are some tips to living a life you love more:

1. Accept that this is the life you have, embrace it fully.
Understanding that this is the life you have here and now and being OK with it is crucial to maintaining your happiness.  In fact embrace your life as it is fully knowing that this is all you have in this moment, making the best of it.
2. Don't waste your time complaining or feeling sorry for yourself.
Feeling sorry for ourselves is a waste of time and energy.  When you begin to feel sorry for yourself stop thinking that way.  Tell yourself that it will not do you any good.  Take a step back and tell yourself that the complaining Will not help at all.  Practice this until it works.
3. Stop the worrying about something or things that have not happened.
We worry a lot and only to find that we get the same results.  Nothing at all.  In fact when we worry enough we could manage to create more issues and things actually come true that we would truly like not to happen.  Besides what we usually worry about does not happen most times.
4. Do some of the things you love.
Do things that you enjoy.  That is loving your life.  Loving your life is about doing some of the things that you love to do: dancing, singing laughing, biking, swimming or simply getting an extra day off of work.  We are not going to find our life fruitful unless we do things that we love to do.  Do so and do it often.
5. Live in the moment making the best of what you have in your life.  Stay connected.
Life is about staying aware and connected to the things around you and the people around you.
6.  Think about what it is like for others in really critical situations and send them light, feeling gratitude that you are not starving or in a third world country where they are starving and struggling for freedom.
7. Stay in your center and in your heart as often as you can.
Remembering that love is all there really is reminds us of how important our life is.  Remaining and keeping the focus on our heart helps us to stay in love with our life because life is all we have.  When we stay in our heart we remain in our center and in turn we stay in a loving place.  We value our life.  We know how precious life is.  Staying in our hear center helps us to stay in touch with our inner spirit that tells us we are worthy of love.
8. Take responsibility for your life.  
No one is responsible more for your life and loving yourself than you. In fact you are completely responsible for your life.  When we take responsibility for our life we love our life because we know we have a responsibility to ourselves and those we love.  Believing that you will love your life more when you are in love with someone is asking someone else to be responsible for your life.  That never really works.  Self love is the only love that endures all the tests in your life.  Take responsibility for your life and loving your life.  Soon you will find that your love is dependent on nothing outside yourself.

How do I love thee?  Let me count the many ways I can love me.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
