Love every emotion and go after what you envy

Love to hate. Love to love, love to laugh, love to feel miserable. That is the key to enjoying life. Loving life or loving to hate life, doesn’t matter, as long as we enjoy the emotion. That is what we are here for, to fully feel every emotion within the body. We can love to be annoyed, and that creates a smile behind the growl, amusement at the idea of feeling such enjoyment for being peeved! Loving life doesn’t happen through meditation and vowing to love everyone equally, that is a false goal for most of us – and none of us should assume that is where we are headed before there’s some good proof that you love to love everyone.  Suppressing “negative” emotions doesn’t help us to enjoy life more, it merely creates guilt for the feelings we have, stopping us from enjoying anything.

Whatever you do in life, anything you choose to do, do that in full union with your soul. I don’t think you have to love any aspect of doing the dishes, but love the fact that you are not much of a domestic goddess (if you’re not). There is pride to be taken from that; find it. Anything you are and have done, has something to be proud of in it, and there is probably something to feel a bit ashamed about many things you’ve done, too, especially the stuff that you do because you thought that’s what you should have done (according to others). Do you do what you do to gain a reputation or do you do what you do because you feel you should do it, or do you do what you do because it makes you feel good and in love with life? Those are the questions to start and dig out our motivations for doing things. When you feel the love and enjoyment towards what you are and what you do, you know you are on the right path.

Everyone wants to be what they are. This is the most amazing thing. Everyone wants to be what they truly are in their soul. If you are looking at someone else thinking “I wish I was them instead of me” that’s because you are, in your soul, more like them than what you appear to be right now – what you are expressing right now. When you see someone you’d love to be, copy them freely, but be careful not to copy any more than fits into your being, and also, be careful not to copy “shoulds” but copy love to’s. Admiring someone is a different thing. That is when you see someone being exactly what they are, you love them for being what they are, but you don’t necessarily want to swap places with them. That is what feeling love is for, finding yourself is more to do with the emotion of envy. If you envy something, you know that is something that you want to be or  have (that you are not yet expressing or don’t have in your life but want to). And that is  a sign you have discovered a small piece of what you are in your entirety. When you envy someone, don’t think about it as if you wanted what they have for yourself in the sense that you would take what they have away from them to have it for yourself, but that you would want to create something similar in your life. And then, love that envy, because it is guiding you towards your goal. Feeling guilty over envy is not going to be productive.

But even when you feel guilty, you might as well enjoy it, right? Enjoy what it signifies if you can’t muster up anything else. For as long as you love the emotions that govern you, you will keep them, but you will get tired of the unsuitable emotions a lot faster when you love them rather than trying to obstruct them, which only diminishes the impact but draws it out for a lot longer – sometimes for your entire life. The fact is that you still love feeling that way, but your guilt is trying to obstruct the full impact of the emotion, and it starts to linger. How long do you think you could love feeling guilt? Not very long, but if you hate it and hate yourself for having that emotion, it will linger in you forever. You can’t stop those emotions from coming up, they need to be processed, and taken into account, either acted upon or vividly visualised (so you know if you really want to do it or not, and also giving your brain the message that you already did what you dreamed to do).

Freeing yourself from shoulds and cannots will free you to enjoy your life exactly as it is, with nothing about it changed except your attitude towards it. And that in itself is fertile ground for such things as The Law of The Truest Wish to work on. 🙂
