With a steaming mug of hot Irish tea in my cozy cogitative corner, it is understanding I seek.
We have to choose to be willing, to see, to do, a constant “love Vigil”, in order to be happier in life.
Of course y’all know this.
I don’t know about you, but there have been times my “vigil” has been all over the place! I mean the show of emotions I have demonstrated that seemingly lacked even a shred of love…well, let’s just say, were not peaceful or happy.
Something, someone, or even my own self, that I took issue with, perceiving a “problem” to be solved, upset, I would mull it over from every negative emotional view, then, when I was really unhappy about the “problem”, I would muck roll in it some more, till I was in a dark “woe is me wallow” box, completely covered in unhappiness.
Whoa! This feels like crap. Wallowing in problems, is not a solution for anything.
Logically speaking, “I” choose the unhappy thoughts to wallow in, so then, “I” can, INSTEAD, certainly choose happy thoughts to revel in. I do so want to be happy.
Love, beauty and light seem to be the core of all my happy thoughts.
Cultivating the love faculty takes vigilance! We can fall into a dark “woe is me wallow” box anytime; when this happens, think love, think light, immediately.
A great book I just added to my library before coming to Melbourne in April, Rhonda Byrne’s “The Power”, is what I call a “love vigil”! It doesn’t take a psychiatrist to tell us that thinking healthy love thoughts makes for a much healthier life!
A wise sage, I think it was Yoda who said, “Do or don’t do. There is no try”. Do a “love vigil”, for a happier life.
Oh dear, my “vigil” has run amuck. Got to run.
