If you've decided to get to the summit of your mountain and not just hang around base camp, then know that ascending to the highest level of living is going to involve your heart. Take a second to check how it's doing right now: Put your hand on your heart and ask, "Is my ‘love tap' flowing inside of me?"
You see, we all have a small but powerful golden tap inside of us -- while it might be covered over and obscured by leaves and twigs, it's still there. Get to know it, and check in with it on a daily (even hourly) basis. Is your tap turned on enough so that the love from your heart is flowing out to everyone you meet? Even though you may be taxed and burdened by a life that can be fraught with many disappointments, you can still love.
Every night before we go to bed, it helps to examine the day and review ourthoughts and actions to find how they could be more loving. Ultimately, when we leave this plane of existence, that's what's going to count.
In order to reach the summit of your own personal mountain, your mandate must be to love, inspire, and serve others in whatever we do -- not in some lofty purpose "over there," but in our daily life, right where we are right now.
1. Welcome everyone with love. With everyone, including animals, I meet, I automatically say to them mentally, "I welcome you into my life with love." It diffused so many situations I have been confronted with over the years. It puts out an energy and feeling of peace and understanding, whether the other individual knows it or not.
2. Listen to others. Truly listen with our undivided attention when someone is trying to convey something to us. truly understand where an individual is coming from. So much of our communication between individuals is misunderstood. Listen with the heart into what someone is actually saying, as it may not at all be what we thought we heard.
3. Breathe in love and breathe out blessings.This a continual mantra throughout my day.I start my day with and continually repeat. It reminds me to think well of others. Remember there is no time or space, and every time I say this I am actually emanating blessings and love to everyone and everything around me. This actually creates an energy field emanating from my heart like a beacon. Every second of every day, I always have a choice of how to be and how to react to any situation.
I believe that diseases begin when we disregard the messages of the heart and deny what gives us happiness -- good things will come if we live in joy, harmony, and gratitude. Through any personal health challenge, the miracle of the body still prevails. With a little help, it knows what to do and can repair at any age -- I've seen it happen countless times.
When the body repairs, the energy returns, the lights go on, the vitality pours back in, and everything lines up! Then emotions take on a rational perspective and spirituality is aligned; thus, we witness the true miracle of the connection between the body, mind, and spirit.
This brings me to the art of surrender, or the top of the mountain -- that is, when I can accept, allow, and enjoy the mystery of life as it unfolds and then ends. I hope that I can look back on the piece of patchwork that I've left on the planet with a sense of pride and accomplishment. And, as I review the life that I've passionately lived, I will be able to say" I DO NOT REGRET ANYTHING"
