To have love in our lives, we do not really have to generate and create love that does not exist. We simply need to join with the love that is already here… in ourselves, in others and in the world.

You chose what you experience every day and every second… conscious or unconscious, by intent or default. Love is present, always. Where is your focus; what is your choice?

Love is present everywhere at every moment. Love is the nature of your body… in every cell. The sun shines with love; the grass grows with love. Birds fly and a cat walks at the invitation of love.

Regardless of the difficulty and chaos of life… love is present, always. Where is your focus?

It is your choice as to what you will see, in what you will engage: struggle or love; despair or love; hopelessness, hate and resentment or the love of your heart, mind, body and life? Why not make the choice of love… today?

Love yourself; you will emerge.

• Feeling safe is the opposite of fear.
• Feel safe by telling yourself you are safe.
• Feel love by telling yourself that you love yourself.

Repeat the words: “The absence of fear, the presence of love.” Then imagine how it would feel to have no fear and be full of a love so strong that it included all the world.

Imagine, imagine and imagine again until this is fact for you. If it does not work, you have not worked it sufficiently. Work this vision day after day after day… until it works. It takes practice as all good things do.

• Without love, you cannot know yourself.
• Without love, you cannot feel yourself.
• Without love, you cannot be yourself.

Devotion: the continued and steady practice of love.

We live in a world where love has been disabled. We are made to love, to be in love with ourselves, the world and each other. Our biology does not work well when we are not in love. Without love, our thinking and emotions give us poor information. Nothing works well without love; we are designed to love… all the time.

As strange as it may sound, practicing love works! First, practice loving yourself. It is simple: Just tell yourself, in a conversation, that you love yourself. Begin with your body. Your body creates all your feelings and thoughts, so take control and train your body to be in love, feel love and act with kindness.

Begin by telling your feet, yes your feet, that you love them. Say “Feet, I love you so much. Thank you for being my feet, and walking and working for me. I love you.”

Before you laugh, try it! It works. And it works because it is scientific, physiological and neurological: We all have the ability to create and generate love and good feelings at will. It is a basic human ability. But we often wait for love and good events to happen by chance, and there is little chance of that.

Love and good events do not happen by chance. When we leave happiness to chance, not much happens.  We then may start to believe that we live in a cruel world where there is no love or opportunity for success… But this is so wrong!

It is we who are responsible for creating love and good events in our lives… We are the creators. When we wait for someone else to create for us what we want… It’s a long and futile wait.

So begin by telling your body, yourself, that you love it, that you love you. Go to all parts of your body and tell your parts that you love them. They will respond! Try it.

Thank your lungs for breathing for you; tell your lungs that you love them. Thank your heart for beating. There will be a physiological response in your brain and body. A thought is a physical and measurable action in your brain and body. Love is a thought and feeling that you create and control.

When you make a decisive action of thought, when you voice love to yourself: there is a physical response in your brain and body… a good response of good thought and great feeling.

All thoughts are physical realities in your body that affect how you feel. One thought leads to another; many thoughts lead to feelings. And feelings become habit. Create your own habit of thought and feeling; do it with love! You have the choice; you are in control. Create what you need; create what you want.  Do it again and again, until it becomes habit.

The effort to love without condition… builds the soul into the earth.
