One of the components of happiness is love.
When my heart is full of love,
Then it's easy to feel that my life is fulfilled.
And so how do I create real love in my life?
There are times when people love me and then there are times they don't.
There are times when I love myself and there are times when I don't.
So real love is a love that is not limited to the way I behave or the memories of what I've done or how I've been.
Real love doesn't judge or criticise or condemn.
Real love is an energy that allows me to just give to myself and others.
Real love is based on an understanding,
A deep understanding,
That deep down inside I am made of love.
My real nature,
My eternal self,
Is love.
So I return within myself to that place,
That space inside,
Which is deeper than my current thinking and feeling and memories.
It is a place of pure love.
I come back to the space where I feel acceptance.
I accept myself no matter how I am,
No matter what I've done,
Including every mistake I may have made.
I accept myself.
I embrace myself fully right now.
And I repeat to myself,
I am okay.
The journey may have been up and down,
But I am completely okay.
And the sense of being alright and of being accepted is a feeling of joy.
Because as soon as I realise that I am separate from my journey,
Then I can let go of my mistakes,
My shortcomings,
And I can feel my inner goodness.
And this creates happiness.
In fact,
My original nature is just love,
Acceptance and happiness.
But it's been buried under layers of negative thinking and feeling and holding on to old memories.
So let me love myself in this moment through acceptance.
And let that inner fountain of joy start to flow again.
It feels good to let go of everything old and just understand who I really am.
It feels good to be happy,
To feel light.
And now let me apply this love and acceptance to people in my life,
Especially to those people who I believe have done something wrong,
Who may have said something hurtful,
Who may have behaved in a way that wasn't according to my truth.
Let me just accept them with the thought that they are who they are,
And that's okay.
Their life journey must have been very different to mine.
Their programming,
Their memories,
Their recording,
Completely different to mine.
But that's okay.
And when I reach this place,
When I can let go of my own negative memories of anyone on the outside,
When I can allow my own thoughts to accept and therefore to love,
To love with understanding,
Then everything feels okay.
And only then can that inner joy start to bubble up.
And I can get back my sense of happiness and lightness.
And I can move on in life the way I want to.
It feels good to love and accept myself and others unconditionally and allow myself to give permission to myself to let go and be happy.
This happiness is the real me.
And I just spend a few moments sending out rays of happiness into my entire mind and body,
Nourishing my life.
