The most important thing to be in 2012

“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” Franklin P. Jones

Are you reinvigorated and ready to make 2012 your best year yet? Perhaps you are three days into your new workout routine, diet, meditation practice or creative endeavor that you resolved to commit to this year. Awesome! I’m all for setting intentions and goals for the New Year.

AND I am for keeping things simple.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the specifics of our goals and visions that we loose sight of the big picture. I bet that if you reviewed your wish list for 2012 you would discover that at the root of everything you desire is LOVE. You want the partner to love and be loved by. You want to do work you love. You want to share love through self-expression. You want to be financially stable so you can focus on giving and receiving love. All the experiences and things you long for come from a longing for LOVE.

But you do not have to wait for those things to manifest to experience the love you long for. Today I invite you to take a step back from your lists and vision boards and just focus on one thing: BEING LOVE. That’s it.

If you commit to being LOVE as your over-arching intention for everyday . . .

You would see everyone through the eyes of compassion and acceptance, including yourself. You would recognize your fellow classmates in the school of earth who are experiencing their own unique curriculum. You would see that you are no better or worse than anyone – the comparison game would end. You would see that we are all one.

You would truly listen. And you’d be listening from your heart rather than your head. You would not be judging, evaluating, analyzing or strategizing when someone else was talking. You would hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of trees more often.

You would advise less and acknowledge more. You would seek to understand rather than blame or criticize. You would use your voice to say only the Truth and choose loving words. And you would give up the need to be right. You would know when to speak up and when to shut up.

You would work on projects that have meaning for you. You would find a way to bring love to your job even if you do not like what you are doing. You would stop making up excuses for why you cannot do the things you dream of and just do them.

You would only consume things that are nutritious and good for your body. Food would be medicine rather than an indulgence or coping mechanism. And you would nourish your mind with loving thoughts about your body.

You would only share your body with another individual who you had a true heart-to-heart connection with. Lovemaking would be sacred rather than recreational.

You would bring love into your workplace, your family and your community. You would spread love in line at the grocery store, through a smile at someone in traffic or across a crowded subway and by talking to the seemingly unapproachable stranger. You would make love contagious.

You would commit random acts of kindness daily – and not be attached to anyone knowing that you did it. You would be of service because you understand that giving is the good stuff.

You would speak kind words to yourself. And when you did catch yourself being hard on you, you would lovingly redirect your thoughts toward love. Your self-talk would be encouraging and supportive. You would drop the ridiculous story that there is something unlovable about you – because there’s not.

You would stop and breathe. You would be addicted to gratitude. You would dance, sing even when people can hear you, smile for no reason, and give great hugs.

You would forgive . . . yourself and everyone else.

You would trust God and the Divine plan. You would stop asking why, when and how and instead simply love what is.

You would commit to being a little more loving today than you were yesterday and be a little more loving tomorrow than you were today.

Remember: all your intentions and goals are great on paper but they will be meaningless, and perhaps even impossible to co-create without love.

Be the LOVE that you are.

Wishing you a New Year full of LOVE,
Christine
