I think the cure-all for life is loving action. While we grow up thinking in this odd reverse way that something out there is supposed to fill our empty spaces, the opposite is true for the deep, filled up, kind of feeling you are looking for. Love someone. Being the verb in your life makes many things possible. You no longer have to wait. Waiting sucks.
So you are getting ready for the party and all the while you are wondering if they are going to like your outfit. Or. Will the cute dude talk to me? I spent the entire afternoon on that damn pie and will they like it? Then you go to the party. Looking. Looking to get something to fill the empty spaces. Do. You. Think. I. Am. Good? Enough?
Now jump up and down and start over. (jumping up and down is like shaking the snow globe. Or pressing the reset button.)
Get ready for the party. Look nice? Appreciate yourself. Have fun. Put some music on. Don’t save that expensive thing. Put it on. All the while think about what you are bringing to the party. Well, pie. Yeah. But what can you bring as a person? Give the gift of attention. Appreciation. Tell a good joke. Can you be the one you are looking for?
There are a few things in life we can count on. This is one of them. When you stop looking and start giving you are no longer empty. No longer waiting. Let me say it again. Waiting sucks. If I sound like a know it all…..I’m not trying to fool you. Everything I write is needed most for myself. I have to learn, learn and relearn this lesson.
Active love flowing out.
Spring love to you and thanks so much for reading!
