SEEING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

I was having a conversation today with my girlfriend. She has been married for about six years. She said to me in secret she did not want to have children with her husband because she did not want her children to be like his family. She was in tears very distraught from this idea.

I said to myself what a thought. I responded with it is interesting how we look through our lens of experience. When I look at your husband I see an amazing man. I went on to explain that the only people who could have created her husband was the two people that created him any variation would have created someone who we do not know. He is exactly who he is because of the two people who came together to create this wonderful being.  I recognize that you chose the greater version of yourself. When I see his parents I see your creative nature, when I see his mother I see your beauty and elegance as well as charm. I see your father in his father and how nurturing he is to you just like your father. I watch his father who wants to cook for you exactly the way your father does for you. When I am sitting having an intellectual conversation with your family it feels the same way talking to his family very intellectual.

I went on to explain when we hold on to what our parents could not and did not give us we will not see the greatness, However, when we begin to forgive and see through the eyes of love the more we can see the blessing in our chosen parents. Although we are all learning how to do this thing called life. We are doing the best we can with what tools and experiences with have. It is all about healing and growing.

With that being said my healing journey only took that turn when I was able to forgive, let go and release. Forgiveness help me to let go of what my mother did not do, and start to see what she did do. 

Through the eyes of love I was able to see her pain and why she made the choices she made. Love assist me in clearing the plank in my own eyes.

Remember do not waste your time on unforgiveness. It will not work. What you give out always comes back to you. So drop the past and work on loving yourself now. Then you can have a wonderful future. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is that when you do your forgiveness work, it is not necessary to go to the people involved and tell them that you forgive them. Sometimes you will want to do this, but you do not have to. The major work in forgiveness is done in your own heart and in front of your mirror. Remember, forgiveness is seldom for others. It is for you.

Life reflects your vision. Are you seeing through the eyes of LOVE?

Some Love Stories Change The World

My grandmother always said, "There is not an ill love cannot heal, there is not a prescription love can not fill, for every question love is the answer."

Reading Louise Hay today made me think about that quote..

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. I have discovered that no matter what the problem is, the best way to resolve it is to start loving yourself. Loving yourself means having great respect for everything about you, inside and out. It is deep gratitude for the miracle of your body and your mind and your soul. Loving yourself is appreciation to such a degree that it fills your heart until it bursts, overflowing with the joy of being YOU. It is impossible to really love yourself unless you have self-approval and self-acceptance. Do you scold and criticize yourself endlessly? Do you believe you are unlovable? Do you live in chaos and disorder? Do you attract lovers and mates who belittle you? Do you mistreat your body with unhealthy food choices and stressful thoughts? If you deny your good in any way, it is an act of not loving yourself. 

Louise hay

Love has change my world, love has change how I navigate through life. I want to emphasize that doing mirror work is a true act of love, one of the most loving gifts you can give yourself. Each day that you practice your mirror work, you may fall in love with yourself a little bit more. The best way to love yourself is to release all the junk from your past—the self-judgments, the old stories that hold you back—so you can live in the present moment. We have all gotten into the habit of believing negative statements we have heard since childhood. When you can turn these negative affirmations into positive statements and practice them looking into your mirror, you can let go of some of these past hurts and move on.

Today, I had a book signing and the conversation came up about loving yourself after this young lady read an excerpt from my book. She turned to me and asked "How do you learn to love yourself?"  

Here is the excerpt from "Born To Be Rich" By Janine A Ingram 

You have to love yourself no matter where you are in life, no matter what or how you feel about yourself. You have to learn to appreciate yourself for the person you are within. No matter the size, the color, the hair—God made you and he made you special. He made you with a purpose.

When you learn to appreciate you, the world learns to appreciate you. When you learn to love you, the world learns to love you as well. I’m telling you that loving yourself is the most powerful experience you’ll ever have. Remember a time when you’ve been in love; when the window of love opens up and you feel excitement and anticipation. You light up like a Christmas tree and you’re so vibrant everyone can see. I remember that feeling, and I would say each time, “God, this is such a fantastic feeling.” And it’s so wonderful when the world opens up and reminds you what love is.

One day I stepped into the shower and I asked God to heal me and teach me how to love myself. Then I put out there in the Universe that I wanted to be in love with myself the same way it felt when I was in love with someone else. I wanted to wake up saying, “Janine, I love you,” and mean it as strongly as if I was speaking those words to another person. I wanted to fix a candlelight dinner for Janine, run that bathwater with bubbles and put the music on just for Janine. I wanted to be in love with myself like that. I can remember praying and meditating every day. It was only through those actions-being still and learning to love Janine that God began to speak to me. I learned what it was, how it is, and what it was all about. Only then did I start on the path of self-discovery that I’m still learning today. I’m probably not one-hundred percent, but I’m getting better and better every day. And so I wanted to share this story with you because I prayed hard to convey the simple meaning of what love is, how powerful it can be and how it can change your life. The loving Father can only do for you what He can do through you, and it’s through your own thoughts and feelings of expectation that love is born. As you deliberately express love it comes back to you multiplied.

Drop the mic...just reading that excerpt it sent chills to my spine. I turned to her and said. You must sit still with yourself focus in on the heart and simply ask how can I learn to love you. Also check the last blog out on The Mirror Work.

Thinking about my grandmother, she always said life is an inside job, fix your mind you fix your life. These thoughts still plague my mind. 

Have you had life smack you into reality? Have you ever gotten a “reality smack” from someone you liked and respected, a lot?

We don’t always “enjoy” these little wake-up jolts. Sometimes, the truth can be painful. But from time to time? We all need a reality smack. We need people to hold us to a higher standard of behavior — or else we tend to fall short of our potential. 

“LOVING YOURSELF IS THE GREATEST REVOLUTION.”

It was in my pain where I learned to fix my mind. I heard this a long time ago that PAIN is an acronym for Pay Attention Inward Now. Whew... why is it that we have to be pushed around by PAIN before we learn.

Loving me healed the very essence of my being. Love awakened the Goddess in me. Love taught me how to ask empowering questions oppose to the traditional “Why Me?” I start asking what is the Universe trying to express through me or what is the lesson? Love taught me how to trust in the process of the unknown. It is love that taught me how to see myself as a Divine Gift to the planet.

So you ask how do you fix your mind?  

Transform your life simply by looking into a mirror. Mirror work—looking deeply into your eyes and repeating affirmations—is the most effective method I’ve found for learning to love yourself and see the world as a safe and loving place. Put simply, whatever we say or think is an affirmation. All of your self-talk, the dialogue in your head, is a stream of affirmations. These affirmations are messages to your subconscious that establish habitual ways of thinking and behaving. Positive affirmations plant healing thoughts and ideas that support you in developing self-confidence and self-esteem, and creating peace of mind and inner joy. The most powerful affirmations are those you say out loud when you are in front of your mirror.

The moment when I decided to take in that love is an inside job is the moment I began to own my voice. A voice that awakened my inner lover.  When I began to love and honor me, the shift happened in how the world showed up loving me as well. 

I invite you to make loving yourself a daily ritual. I invite you to wake each morning and ask yourself how you can attract more love and joy into your life.
