Many PeOple Live A Life WithOut LOve. They CannOt LOve Themselves, And
TherefOre They CannOt LOve AnyOne Else. SOme Even Feel That They Do
NOt Deserve LOve. The Sad Fact Is That WithOut LOve, No Matter What
Else YOu Have In Life, It's NOt EnOugh. We Need To LOve Ourselves
UncOnditiOnally In Order To Live Fully.
The LOve I'm Referring To Here Is The UncOnditiOnal, Universal LOve
And Respect FOr Life- YOurs And EveryOne Else's. We Are All Capable Of
This Type Of LOve. Infact, If We Can Strip Ourselves Of All Our
Negative EmOtiOns, Imprint And Ego, What Remains Is Pure,
UncOnditional LOve. That Is WhO Or What We Are Underneath All The
Layers Of Impurities That We Have Accumulated.
The PrOblem Is That We Have FOrgotten HOw To LOVE. We Have To Learn To
Open Our Heart To LOVE AGAIN•
Here Are FOur Steps InvOlved In Opening Our Heart To LOVE:
1• ACCEPTANCE
2• FORGIVENESS
3• EXPRESSION
4• ACTIONS
#1• ACCEPTANCE
First, We Have To Accept That We Are Capable Of LOve-Pure,
UncOnditiOnal, Selfless LOve! We Have To Accept The Need To Express
This FOrm Of LOve In Our Life In Order To Live FULLY•
#2• FORGIVENESS
Next, We Have To Learn To FOrgive- Ourselves And EveryOne Else,
Especially ThOse WhOm Have Hurt Us In The Past. Learning To FOrgive Is
NOt A CHOICE. It Is A Neccesity! We Need To FOrgive In Order To Heal
Ourselves And Make Ourselves WHOLE Again. If We CannOt FOrgive, We
CannOt MOve FOrward. We Will COntinue To Carry Old WOunds And Burdens
With Us. When We FOrgive, We Let Go Of These WOunds And Burdens, And
Instantly Feel Lighter And StrOnger To MOve FOrward.
FOrgiving DOes NOt Mean FOrgetting. It Means We're Willing To Let Go
Of The Past And Willing To Start Afresh WithOut Encumbering Ourselves
With The Old WOunds. We Remember The LessOns WithOut Bitterly HOlding
On To The Pain. We Do NOt Wish To Blame AnyOne AnymOre. There Are
Three Types Of FOrgiveness:
1. FOrgiving ThOse WhO Have Hurt Us.
2. FOrgiving Ourselves FOr Hurting Otherz.
3. FOrgiving Ourselves FOr Hurting Ourselves.
To Open Our Hear To LOve, We Must Learn To LOve Ourselves First. To Do
That, We Need To Start By FOrgiving Ourselves FOr All Our ShOrtcOmings
And Mistakes. We Need To StOp Blaming Ourselves, We Stop Blaming
Otherz And Circumstance. It DOes NoT mEAN That We Do NOt Accept
RespOnsibility FOr Our ActiOns.
What It DOes Mean Is That We RecOgnize Our Weaknesses And Mistake And
Wish To Give Ourselves AnOther Chance To Make Our Life WOrk FOr Us•
#3• EXPRESSION
Our Life Is An ExpressiOn Of All Our Mental And EmOtional Imprints.
All These Imprints Find ExpressiOn Outwardly In Our Life SOoner Or
Later. The Sooner They Are Expressed, The MOre Liberating It Feels.
BOttled Up Inside, The Negative Imprints Can GrOw Into SOmething
POtentially MOre Harmful And Malignant. We Need To Give These Negative
Imprints Chance To Be Expressed So That We Can Release All The Pent UP
Energies That Can Manifest Physically As Illness And EmOtionally As
Fear, Anger, FrustratiOn, Guilt, DOubt And Lack Of Self-Esteem•
Here Are SOme SuggestiOns On Ways To Express YOurself And TransfOrm
Negative, Pent Up Energies Into POsitive Liberating Energies...
1. JOurnaling
2. Sharing With Trusted Friends And SuppOrt GrOups
3. PrOfessiOnal COunselling Or Therapy
#4. ACTIONS
ActiOn Here Refers To Actual Acts Of LOving-Kindness In Our Lives In
Order FOr It To BecOme A Part Of Us.
Here Are SOme Exercises To Help Generate MOre Feeling Of
LOving-Kindness TOwards All Beings:
EXERCISE
1. LOVING-KINDNESS MEDITATION
Generating UncOnditiOnal LOve Requires EffOrt At First. The Buddhist's
Metta MeditatiOn Is A Good MeditatiOn To Help Generate UncOnditional
LOve TOwards All Beings.
2. ELIMINATING PREJUDICES
Universal LOve Is UncOnditiOnal And WithOut Any Bias Or Prejudice. If
YOu Have Certain Prejudice TOwards Certain PeOple Or Race, Try To
Make An Extra EffOrt To LOve Them UncOnditionally. FOr Example, If YOu
Are Biased Against Muslims In General, Make An Extra EffOrt To Seek
Out Muslim Orphanages Or Old FOlks HOmes To Give Gifts During A New
Year CelebratiOn Or A Special OccasiOn.
3. PERFORM AN UNCONDITIONAL ACT OF LOVE DAILY
There Are Many Things YOu Can Do Daily To ShOw YOur UncOnditiOnal
LOve. FOr Example, We Often Do NOt NOtice The Mailman, Or The Garbage
COllector. In The Office, We Often Do NOt NOtice The Tea Lady And
Maintenance Staff. Do YOu KnOw WhO Sweeps YOur Office Daily? Make An
EffOrt To KnOw These PeOple As A PERSON•
