BUSINESS COACHING

I want to share a message I received today from a friend of mine, named Jonathan. He is about half my age, and has really grasped the concept of unconditional love at such a young age. There are many important messages in this email that we can all learn from. I’ve included it below for you to read. I hope it causes a shift in your thinking. I echo these messages to each one of you!

Happy Valentines Day!

 

John

 

You see, Love is actually a
very important thing to me.
(and just about every other
human being I know)

And I wanted to talk with you
very briefly today and share
a reminder that on this day
when essentially we’re suppose
to be celebrating love…

That we don’t FORGET what love
is really about.

You see, the big media plays
this day off like it’s this
sweetie pie, romantic, intimate
thing between two lovers…

And that it most definitely is.

Don’t get me wrong there…
I’ve got some special plans
for my partner and me too!

But it’s actually a lot MORE
than that.

In fact, there’s a whole lot
more to love then just having
a romantic partner…

And it pains me sometimes to
see the “Extent” of people’s
love end at only the people
they know and are familiar
with in their lives.

You see… True Love, isn’t
really about one person.

True Love… has no definitions.

True Love has no boundaries.

True Love makes NO discrimination.

The hallmark of true love is
that it’s UNCONDITIONAL…

And exists NATURALLY without
any expectation of return.

Think about how the SUN shines
on our entire planet, day in
and day out, giving us ALL LIFE
and providing life for almost
every single creature on our
planet…

And it asks NOTHING in return,
yet gives us so much.

THAT is what I call unconditional
love.

This my friend… is what we
should be celebrating, and
spreading on this joyous day.

Every great world wide spiritual
teacher in the last few thousand
years has been trying to teach
us this message of unconditional
love.

Yet as a society… we seldom want
to listen because it’s HARD.

It’s hard to LOVE your neighbor
when their dog craps in your lawn
over and over again.

It’s hard to Love the DMV teller
when you’re waiting in line and
they treat you like another # because
you’re the 848th person they’ve
seen today…

It’s hard to LOVE the guy or gal
who breaks into your car to get
your CD player because they’re
that desperate…

Most of the times… we are trained
to DISLIKE these people.

We’re told it’s OK to think negatively
of them at this point… and banish
them to the “Unlovable” segments of
our society.

However, when we do this…

We are NOT coming from a place of
unconditional love within ourselves.

When we do this… we are DENYING
the very love we want for ourselves,
from FORMING within us.

You see, most people think that
“Getting Love” is the rewarding
part…

But they’re wrong.

They haven’t been paying close
enough attention.

LOVING is the rewarding part.

Being the one who LOVES is the
part that is most fulfilling.

Because that’s the part we feel
from WITHIN.

When someone else loves us… of
course it feels good. But that
love is being generated from
within them. Not us.

It’s only when WE LOVE that we
generate it from within, and
get to feel it’s effects all
over our being.

and THAT my friend… is one
of the most beautiful feelings
in the world.

So on this day when we’re suppose
to be celebrating Love… I’d like
to ask you to REMIND yourself of
how you can be a more unconditionally
loving person to everyone around you.

Remind yourself how YOU can be
the one to put forth the “Extra”
umphhh of love, without really
needing anything in return.

I’d like you to challenge
YOURSELF to be a more loving
person in our world…

Regardless if the people around
you, or the world, reciprocates
back what you “Think” it should.

This is our essential challenge
as aware, and personally Developed
individuals in our modern society.

It’s not about what “Other” people
do any more.

It’s about what WE DO.

It’s about what WE CONTRIBUTE.

A lot of times I hear people
complaining about all the lack
in their life… or everything
they’re not getting from others.

Well, lets flip that equation on
it’s head real quick and instead
of wasting our energy on that
story…

Let’s create a different one.

If you feel lack in your life…

Go out there and CONTRIBUTE
something to someone else that
you wish someone had done for
you.

If you feel a lack of love in
your life…

Go BE the Love for someone else,
unconditionally, that you wish
you had.

When we begin to live life in
this way… dramatic shifts can
happen in how we interact with
our world.

And from this place, we’re able
to create a far more rewarding,
more uplifted life.

So that’s all I wanted to say
today. I hope you’re having
a fantastic day no matter what
you’re doing.

And remember… it’s LOVING
that makes us feel the best.

Not the other way around…

Think about ways you can love
others and our world more…

And you’ll be far more fulfilled
then thinking about ways everyone
and everything else can love you
more. Trust me…

Yours In Life,

Jonathan Budd
