I recently realized the amazing power of love. My life, my path, and everything else can be a lot simpler than I realized if I just use my heart and love to guide me.
I had heard this before from other wise people in my life and I used to think, oh, love, blah blah blah, isn't that nice, but life isn't all rainbows and butterflies and love and stuff. I never actually tapped into the true power of love. I wasn't able to do this before because I didn't fully love myself. This is what blocks a lot of people from being able to harness the full power of love and manifest their desires. As simple as it sounds, it's a lot easier said than done, to fully love yourself.
There are many subconscious reasons people aren't able to fully love themselves. Obviously, a low self-esteem is closely related to how much you love yourself. Guilt and fear are other powerful emotions that block people from fully loving themselves. I've also found that perfectionism hinders being able to fully love yourself because you're worried about either being perfect, performing perfectly, everything in your life going perfectly, or you flat out avoid going for what you desire because you have a fear of not being able to be successful to the perfectionistic level/standards you set for yourself.
Once I was able to ask God and all my spirit guides to help me feel loved (you can ask them to literally hug you and you will feel that warm loving feeling all around your body), I started feeling loved and that I was worthy of being loved and deserved love and success. So much so, that my heart felt overflowing with love for not just myself, but others. Love is unique in that it is more contagious than anything I can think of. Once I feel full of love, it's so powerful, it feels like my whole life perspective changes. I want to do the things that make me feel that warm fuzzy feeling love gives me - the things I love. Suddenly, all the doubt, fear or other mental chatter that blocked me from fully doing what I love disappears and all I can think about is that great warm fuzzy feeling, that bliss I feel when I'm actually doing what I love (singing). When I'm full of love, I also want to share it with others and feel love for others, even those people for whom love isn't exactly the first emotion I feel when I'm around them (especially these people, because they are usually the ones who need love the most).
I've noticed that when I sing and I'm feeling full of love, I sing better. I'll bet if you tried doing something after trying to harness that full-of-love feeling that makes your heart feel overflowing with love, whatever you do will be better.
You can also use your heart to help you make decisions and to guide you on your path. If you want to know how to do this, let me know. Maybe I'll write about it in a future post, but for now, I must run.
In summary, you can be successful if you do what you love and do it with love. There are obviously other factors to success, but I really believe that love is the foundation.
