Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.

~ Wayne Dyer

IN MANY WAYS, WE LIVE WITH what we dream and create. Our lives reflect the energy we’ve been putting into them. If we believe people are always out to get us, that is the scenario we unwittingly create and see. If we believe that people are good at heart, that is what we tend to nurture in others and see.

Does that mean if we’ve always believed the world to be hostile, there’s no love in it? Or if we’ve always been loving, there is no hostility in the world? No. But that’s likely what we’re inclined to ‘notice’ more in our daily lives.

One might think that it’s only those who are safe and loved that can see a loving world, but in my experience, it’s often those who are vulnerable and in danger who see the love in the world.

Anne Frank, whose family faced mortal danger, took the time to jot down these words: “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

As you can see for yourselves, the world did not end on December 21st.

But maybe the way we do business in this world should end.

As previously written by the brilliant and beautiful Magnolia Beginnings…

we  have an opportunity to conduct ourselves in a new way.

One of the ways we can do this is to choose love over hatred.

It’s up to me

It’s up to you

One person, one heart at a time, is all it would take.

I know, it’s hard to love sometimes…

but hatred takes much more energy.

Negative thoughts breed more negative thoughts…

and often we, who have them, suffer the most.

Are you someone who makes New Year resolutions?

Will you consider changing the way you do business in 2013?

Perhaps, like me, you will choose love…

when someone believes differently than you

when things don’t work out quite the way you planned them

and it feels like the entire world is against you.

Let’s start with the person nearest to us.

Let’s choose love.

Wishing you and yours a 2013 filled with love
