"Fall in love with life. Life is already in love with you."
(Happy Musings is a newspaper feature syndicated by King Features that I create each day to remind us all that “Life is wonderful!” I offer it here to brighten your day. Please share it with your friends.)
If one would live by this motto, one would live happily ever after. That’s all that one would have to do.
To do it, one has to realize the truth of this statement – “life is in love with you.” It is true now and always. But how to know this, the knowing that comes from experiencing? I suppose, by trying it out, by just imagining, pretending, that “life is in love with you.” It doesn’t mean that life won’t bump you around a little here and there. After all, as much as we love our children, they need to be set straight now and then too. Still it takes nothing away from the fact that we, like they, are loved.
Now once this part of the equation is conceded (the “life is in love with you” part) the next step is to make sure that “you fall in love with life.” Fall in love with life even when you are getting bumped around and perhaps even because of it. It is only out of love that we are corrected.
That’s the whole enchilada – the giving and receiving of this life’s love.
As I contemplate this thought there is only one thing that could pose a hang-up to realizing this in its totality. And that is if one feels unworthy in some way and refuses to accept the “life is in love with you” part. Now to get around this stumbling block, one must also realize that one is one with life and therefore one is always and forever worthy, no matter how many dumb things one might have done. Each of us needs to get over it as quickly as possible – this sense of unworthiness when we’ve done something really stupid. In a snap of the fingers you can be free to accept that “life is in love with you” and then “fall in love with life” all over again.
Carry on!
Smiles,
Sally
