I had the most wonderful four months of my life before I was engaged to be married. That was a long time ago , but I can still remember the feelings I had about my life then, the things I did .
It all began when I was on search of a job, but when the months went by and I still found nothing, that was the time when I decided to end my search for a job, and start my search of my own happiness.
Love of meditation and space :
I had a daily routine of waking up very early, and after morning prayers, I used to go a soccar play ground very close to my house, and jog for half an hour. After that, I would sit on the ground, and stare at the sky, and send messages to the world , to people. There is something about standing in the middle of an big empty playground, it gives you the dimention of space, and you start to see the hidden possibilites.
I used to get a lot of creative ideas just by standing in the middle , and see the world around me in a new way.
Love of giving to others :
The funny thing was that very early on those days I got used to seeing young school girls from my neighborhood walking near the playground, headed to their schools. It was nice to think of something creative to do everyday, prepare inspirational cards and give them to these girls. My gestures were always met with sincere smiles, and that used to make my day !
Love of Self care :
Another thing I did during those times was eat healthy food, and sleep very early. I harvested the fruits of these good habits by having more energy during the day , and this enabled me to write better, paint better , feel better ! This made me realize that if you demand more from your physical body, you must first shape it into a healthy functioning vehicle, and after that, it would take you anywhere you want to go, in action and in thought and in feeling.
Love of Books :
I used to spend a long time at the library. Not only did I read, but I
always took my own notes, made my own filing, gathering information. I did not know why I
was doing that, but this turned out to be very useful years later for my ebooks and coaching career. The love for books became a GREAT source of variety, and surprise ! I simply loved them ! I used to buy expensive books, and share them with my friends, and the joy doubled because I got to share the treasure with other intellectual people.
Love Of Nature and Kids:The park was one of my favorite places, where I would go to in the morning soemtimes, if I wanted to have a quiet time to read or draw or write, sit on the green grass, under a tree, and unite with the tree until I no longer become human but an extention to the tree which knows nothing about the three time dimentions, the past, the present, and the future. Or, I went in the evening where it was difficult not to notice the cute little kids who came with their mothers to play in the park. I found it a great joy to take care of
and help the little ones wth
their hectic excited
movements !
Love Of Positive
Affirmations:
I remember that I had placed
over 100 postive
affirmation qoutes on my
bedroom closet . Written
them on small cardboard
pieces, and taped them on
my closet where I could see
them EVERYDAY and remember to fill my head with positive words.
I did not know then that I was preparing myself for one more thing which would add more goodness into my life,The Love Of A Man.
But, I would have never been able to fully enjoy and experience my love for another human being , and be able to give and share , had I not practiced the other ways I found love in my life.
So, if you want to be loved, you must first give yourself space to examine all the other areas where you can create love for yourself, believe, it is worth it !
