Thereislove - Tumblr Posts

Not saying there isn’t hard stuff happening in the world, I’m just saying: Feel. The. Love.... It’s out there in the world, too. ❤️.

.

In fact, there’s so much love, the more you look for it, that it can be as overwhelming a feeling as when you feel hopeless against all the hard stuff - EXCEPT! Except you are overwhelmed by the glimmer of hope you feel, and maybe of how you are afraid to believe in the goodness and hope....

.

But it’s there! So take it in... let it fill you with a moment of wonder... and then notice the very next thing you feel like doing... Maybe you feel like reaching out to an old friend, or helping out a favorite charity, or going out in nature, or doing some self-love like a workout...

.

Whatever it is, let that moment of feeling how big love is carry you into the next thing you do... with love. ❤️

If you want people to be more civil, work at being more civil to people.

If you want less snarkiness, less sarcasm, less knee-jerk spitefulness, work at responding with less of these in your life.

If you want more kindness and more compassion, then work on giving it in your own life, even when you are not receiving it.

Instead of looking for ways you imagine that you are being slighted, keep your eyes focused on being part of the better-world solution, and slowly, in your corner of it, you will start to see and feel change. ♥️

What a gift it is that we are here to embrace the task of living this glorious, often messy, life.
