Open the Door to Love

“We are required to open our hearts at the precise moment every instinct urges us to shut them down. I can stand for hurt and being a martyr – or I can stand for something greater.”

- Mary Morissey

How often we find ourselves wanting to shut out Love after a nasty, or unexpected, break up. We agree with our friends that, “There aren’t any good men/women left. I’m destined to be single forever. I’m a total failure when it comes to relationships”. We buy into their negativity, as we sink deeper into our misery.

Yet, it’s at that exact moment of wanting to shut down, that we are to rather choose to stand for something greater. To open our hearts to Love. To look, with faith, beyond our seeming ‘loss’ toward the arrival of our ‘One’.

So, how do you do this? Here are a few suggestions:

• Remember that the Universe will never meet you halfway, and this is simply another step on the path to  your ‘One’. There is a lid for every pot. Nothing can keep your soulmate from you.

• Take nothing personally. You are wonderful just the way you are, and your soulmate won’t be able to see past you! Continue loving and reminding yourself what a catch you’ll be for your ‘One’.

• There’s no such thing as rejection. He/she wasn’t your ‘One’. Otherwise you’d still be together.

• Take your focus off the past, and its pain, and turn your attention rather to what you want in a relationship. As Michael Beckwith wrote: “Learn to take your attention away from what you don’t want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wish to experience. Energy flows where attention goes.”

• Write yourself a Love Intention. For example: “I am a magnet to Love” or “I am open and receptive to my One” or “I welcome my soulmate now”. Keep your written intention nearby. Read it every time you find yourself feeling despondent or a failure.

• Give yourself positive self-talk. Be compassionate, kind, and validating to yourself. Give yourself at least 3 compliments a day! When you are beautiful in your own eyes, there will be a twinkle in your eye, and a confidence in you that others will find irresistible.

As you work through these suggestions you’ll notice a change in your thinking and behaviour. It’s not a luxury or ‘good luck’ to have love in your life. It’s a human need and you have been created to receive and give love. You’ll be surprised how quickly love can happen as you open your heart to your ‘One’.

Love to you!
