Should we fight for friendships? … (07/30/08)
3) As long as we are searching to be loved (or respected or cared for etc.), we cannot attract the same into our lives! Only when we choose to shift our focus to being conscious agents of Love (giving to others without desiring to receive from them) will like-minded people be called into our lives. And until that choice is made, self-centered intentions will only attract similarly self-centered relationships …
4) Loneliness, while “reasonable”, is solely a self-centered phenomenon. The ego might try to convince you that you are “only human” and that longing for love and companionship is “normal”, and yet the Truth of being Human is much deeper — if you choose to make it so! You are not “only human” — You are HUMAN! And this means that you allWays have choices as to how you will feel and what you will do, regardless of the situations or circumstance that flow your way. As such, the best way to stop feeling lonely is to choose to focus on the Blessings in your Life, and then to re-member them by going out into the world and doing selfless good for others — with no thought at all as to what you might receive in return.
The presence of mental dis-ease (specifically, your loneliness, fear, sadness or anger in relation to a dissolving relationship) is actually a powerful sign that you are Ready — right here, right now — to make this all-Important leap of Faith. Your ego will tell you that this selfless shift is a recipe for more loneliness and despair, and yet, if you have the courage to persist in loving others for Love’s sake, you will inevitably find more Love coming back to You than you know what to do with …
So go and BE the Love you wish to feel!
