Living with Love | By Guy Farmer

There really are only two basic ways to live your life: with fear or with love.

If you live with fear, you will always mistrust others, limit your ability to grow, worry about danger, or dread the next calamity that might befall you. Living with fear makes you contract and become closed off to all the wonderful opportunities around you. Instead of enjoying life, you'll waste time worrying about what you can't do or need to avoid rather than what is possible.

Living with love is an entirely different experience. When you feel, think, and behave with love, the whole universe is open to you. There's nothing you can't do when you love yourself and others. Instead of contracting, you grow and thrive. Love feeds your inner self and guides you on a positive path. Also, love just feels much better than fear.

Love and kindness are intimately linked. In order to be kind you have to have the ability to love yourself and others. Doing nice things for people or the world in general requires believing in love. The wonderful thing is that anyone can be kind if they commit to loving more. The more people who consciously choose to live with love, the kinder a world we'll be able to build.

Cheers,

Guy

The True Meaning of Life | By Patricia A. Fleming

The years have passed by In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness And joy have flown by. People I loved Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped And we all carried on. Life wasn’t easy And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn’t care. I stood on my own And still found my way Through some nights filled with tears And the dawn of new days. And now with old age It’s become very clear That what I once found important Was not why I was here. And the many things That I managed to buy Were never what made me Feel better inside. And the worries and fears That plagued me each day, I knew in the end Would just fade away. But how much I reached out To others when needed Would be the true measure Of how I succeeded. And how much I shared Of my soul and my heart Would ultimately be What set me apart. And now what’s important Is my opinion of me And whether or not I’m the best I can be. And how much more kindness And love I can show Before life

A Kindness Movement | By Guy Farmer

I've spent many years working with individuals, families, and organizations to help them minimize the impact of conflict and strife. Almost every problem I've ever seen arise is due to people not feeling good about themselves deep inside and not healing what's troubling them and causing them to behave in less than positive ways. Entire societies are built upon this hurt way of being, a state of mind that promotes fear, anger, and war with "enemies." It all comes from ideas planted in children's heads by parents and adults who don't know any better. What these societies (and the individuals in them) don't realize is that things don't have to be this way. People can actually function based on hope, love, peace, and kindness. You hear stories about how even the most horrible people love someone or something. We all have the capability to love if we follow our more positive instincts. The fundamental problem is that we teach our children to fear others
