ALL IS LOVE

Life can seem so complex and overwhelming, which it is sometimes if you let it overwhelm your thinking and overtake your life. Or you can focus on the beauty of everything and not always have to judge everything as good or bad. We are taught so many things passed down from generation to generation. Hard to sit back and try to figure out what your true beliefs are or what you were just shown and taught to believe. How often do we actually listen to ourselves. How often are we quiet enough to hear God speak? There are so many distractions and stimulations coming from every direction, that you can’t keep up with everything.

It’s all nonsense. All stealing your conscious attention and turning us into thoughtless unconscious beings searching for another dopamine hit. Seems as years go on people are more ” connected ” than ever without the emotion. True connection grows more scarce by the minute. Love seems so far away from anything that society can comprehend that it is sometimes hard to think it truly ever existed. True love from the heart. Not just for your family or those you love but for all God’s children on this beautiful earth. Also love for yourself and the beautiful unique creation that God made you.

Social media and technology and society in general take you away from seeing your own beauty, both inside and out. Everyone wants to compare themselves to everyone else on social media and we see their life through filters. Nature is beautiful and God is a wonderful artist but we are too busy taking pictures of it or ignoring it to actually consciously experience it in every cell of your being. How often in this life are we in the now? How often do we feel the dirt beneath our feet and the wind upon our face? It’s hard for me to drive a minute straight, without seeing someone on their phone and driving let alone consciously being their, being present with their full attention on the road.

Everyone is on autopilot and distracted. Just a body moving through life. How are you ever supposed to find out who God made you to be if you never spend enough time with yourself and him. Distraction free, quiet , peaceful time with you and God. We spend all day everyday with ourselves and with all that time you think people would realize that the voice in our heads isn’t the true us, yet most of them listen to it. The voice of doubt that holds you back, tells you you can’t do something or reveals to you and image of what will go wrong.The thought after thought pattern that you can get lost in forever and not realize what is going in right in front of you.

These thought patterns are ate up by most of society and it seems most people walk around like zombies, focused on their phones and lost in their own little world. The art of communication is gone. The joy of experiencing things in society such as a movie or going out to eat is totally different now. I wait in a waiting room to be seated at a restaurant and as i sit there with my wife and children I look around and each individual was head down staring at their phones. No talking between anyone, no acknowledgement for anyone entering the room. Society is becoming mindless consumers , swayed but whatever popular opinion is posted on their favorite social media platform or transformed by the opinion of another podcaster.

We buy, buy, buy and never enjoy any of it. It seems everyone is hungry for attention and are always trying to fill a hole in their heart that nothing ever seems to fill. Like after like, purchase after purchase we come up feeling numb and empty. We are painted a picture of what life should be like and everyone strives to be better than everyone else. We become more divided each and every day. We look outward for help. We hide our problems in devices and substances. We take the most precious thing we have away from out children. TIME. We are all so afraid to just be us.

We constantly look for approval. We constantly try to fit in and want to be liked. The hole that everyone tries to fill is the love that is missing. The love they do not have for themselves and therefore do not have for others. We have to love who we are fully and be us. Be the best version of who God made you to be and let other people seeing you being you authentically, spark the light in their soul and allow them to be uniquely them. We are all supposed to help and love one another. We all have gifts from God that are unique to each one of us and sometimes we are so blind to realize it is even a gift.

We take things for granted and do not realize small things we do that seem like nothing to us, could be a gesture that changes someone else’s whole day or even life and that person then does something else nice for another and it keeps carrying on. With that you can change the world. It all begins with you. Spend time alone with God, like actual time and let go. Listen to what he has to say, feel who you truly are and realize why you are here and what you have to offer. Then go out and be you to the best of your ability. Treat everyone with kindness and bring joy to their day.

Live in the now and do not let minor problems take you away from what it privilege it is to take the breath you just took. It is a blessing to be alive on this beautiful planet. Make sure you don’t have anymore nows become then without experiencing it fully. Less posts and likes and more fully experiencing starry nights.
