Spread a Little Love
May 18, 2009
Listen, we all need more love. That’s it. That’s really all we need. We don’t need more money, more banks, more clothing, more chocolate (well I do!), but we seriously need more love.
Now I know that this is a completely obvious statement. ‘What is new about this?’ you are asking. Nothing. Nothing at all.
It’s been said over and over again by sages, mystics, priests, gods, goddesses and even scientists are starting to hint at it too. So it is absolutely nothing new.
But what might be a timely notion is the idea of love in action, love in business, love in the tiny details of life. Just when you least are thinking about it is probably when love should be entering. And I’m not talking about romantic love either, which usually isn’t love at. I’m talking about consciousness and intent.
Here’s an example. I called a collegue of mine in England the other day. I had actually called to ask him for a favor, a big one, but he was having a very hard day. So I dropped my agenda completely and was just present to his siutation.
He was very angry and having a frustrating day. He wasn’t delivering his projects on time in his consulting work, people weren’t doing what he wished and he had to change his plans of going to see his aging mother on the weekend.
You know how that goes when life is not going how we want? Annoying right?
So I asked him if he wanted the two minute fix. He knows me so he said yes. He knows I don’t fix people, but I provided a bit of consciousness that was temporarily out of his reach.
I said, “Look, I know that more than anything you really want to help people.” He sighed. “I know you love people and you really want to help them be their best. That’s why you do what you do.”
(another sigh) “So that’s all that matters. Not the deadlines, not what others are doing. All that matters is that you put energy, love and caring into everything you do - today, tomorrow and always.”
He sighed a big one and then we hung up.
I never got my favor, but that’s ok. This was my opportunity to spread a little love, share a little kindness. For me this is what matters most.
We all need more love. We don’t need more money or more clothing. We do need more chocolate but that’s a form of love.
So that’s it. Change your thinking, change your story, go out and love in everything you do today, tomorrow and always.
