There was a time when I really did not want to live anymore because I felt such despair about the quality of my life. I felt filled with a poisonous brew of fear, hurt, anger and envy. Every experience in my life invoked one of those four emotions. I was falling down a hole that I couldn’t get out of. Everything seemed to be going wrong. Every experience felt painful. Life was a nightmare. In the midst of this, I discovered Real Love, my inner GPS.
My way out of pain was to choose forgiveness, to choose love and compassion. I decided to choose love instead of resentment, blame and shame. At first I took the smallest of steps. I noticed that choosing love actually gave me a feeling that was uplifting. I added the practice of being grateful for my ability to see the choices. I felt even more uplifted, more aligned with God and I began to feel moments of profound joy.
I gathered strength and began to review the hurts and disappointments I’d stored up and stuffed down. I brought them out into the light of love and forgiveness and gave thanks for my practice and my increased awareness.
My Love GPS only points me in one direction: Love. Little by little, I saw that the opportunity to choose love was always available. Over a course of years, I so completely changed my experience of life that every day became miraculous. To my amazement, there was more light than dark in my life and I saw that anything was possible for me. I began to feel divinely guided because I was wiling to follow the Love leading me.
My practice of being willing, loving and grateful has been deeply challenging at times, but it’s not rocket science. It works. Choosing love always works.
Today, I commit myself to choosing love to the best of my ability from now on. I don’t have to know how to love, I only have to point myself in that direction. Today, I rely on my inner GPS that knows the way. My GPS is my God Positioning System always showing me the way to love. I turn Love on and I AM guided, every time, without fail. God’s love IS the way. I choose love and the light reveals itself in me as THE way. I become a wayshower. In this way, I move the world in a direction of peace.
