The Fourth of July, a day to celebrate freedom. Free yourself from worn out beliefs, an old lover, an angry heart, and a cluttered home — and free yourself to find love. But first watch this smashing video, a way to view the American flag though parachute jumpers. My colleague at GreenLegals.com discovered it.
Perhaps it will remind you to let go of of those beliefs that hinder you from finding your heart’s desire:
Worn out beliefs: Yes, you can be happy on a Saturday night without a lover. Pour yourself a glass of champagne and read a book. Boring? Not if the book inspired you to your heart’s desire. Sometimes words inspire us.
Your old lover: Toss the photos and it is is over, let it be over! Free yourself of the sadness he caused you.
An angry heart: Give yourself the gift of love and forgive someone who has hurt you instead of remaining wounded. Build a room in your heart for that person and follow a Tibetan model – send wishes for a good life. It will free you and the person who hurt you and open the door to happiness and your next adventure.
A cluttered home: I do confess to having a decorating mania – I love arranging and rearranging so much that I remember once when we were going to a wedding my Ex shouted up to one of my sons, “Hey, could you hurry up with that shower. We need to leave for the wedding in an hour and your mother needs to move the bathroom.”
My goal is always clarity and simplicity. What has this to do with love? In a calm home, a peaceful atmosphere, it is easier to achieve serenity and a meeting of the minds than in a home filled with clutter.
Open your heart to find love: Most of us forget that the way to be loved is to give love to those around us. Follow the advice of the man who wrote a book titled Love, Leo Buscaglia, who always reminded us to take a chance and tell people we love them – children, parents, friends. Find ways to show a no-strings-attached love to family, to friends, even to strangers. Look at the world through the eyes of a child before that child learns anger or hate.
Happy Fourth of July!
