Psssst…..I’ve Discovered the Meaning of Life. Try this experiment & see for yourself!
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
– Marianne Williamson
Ok stop reading.
Go back and re-read the quote above really carefully. Did you catch that last part? That to experience love in ourselves in others is the meaning of life? It’s true. I talked about this more detail when I presented 5th Secret but now I want you to try a little experiment to test it out for yourself.
It’s really simple.
Starting tomorrow, for 24 hours, approach every situation you’re in and every person you meet with love.
You don’t have to speak your love aloud or say a word, just mentally wrap them up in love. Picture a beam of pink light covering them from head to toe! It doesn’t matter what it looks like to you – just send out the love.
– Stuck in traffic? Send out love to everyone in the cars around you.
– Dealing with a nasty person at your job or in line at Starbucks? Stop thinking about how annoying they are and instead quietly and mentally wrap them up in love.
– Parents annoying you? Siblings being pests? Take a deep breath and blow some love at them.
– Not getting along with a friend? Chalk it up to them having a bad day and throw some loving thoughts their way.
Don’t go into this with any expectations – that’s not how this works. But, by the end of the day, you will find that you’ve actually had a pretty awesome day and I promise, whether you know it or not, the love you sent out was received.
Love. That’s the meaning of life.
