Unconditional Love, how easy is it to love the World?

Unconditional Love  

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a terrific day! Let’s breathe and smile.

It’s so easy to love the whole World, isn’t it? When everything is going great. When life is good, even negative people become positive. Everybody’s smiling, hugging each other and singing Kumbaya.

But what if the World around you begins to crumble? What if someone does you so wrong that even your friends turn away from you? Will you still love people? Will you still smile?

I admit I went through some moments in life when the only thing I was thinking about was justice and revenge.

One thing that helped me to go through these moments was a set of “Anyway” instructions. Here’s a version credited to Mother Teresa:

– People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
– If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
– If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
– If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
– What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
– If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
– The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
– Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
– In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

I’ve experienced first 8 of these points. I am just working on the “Anyway” part. Not easy, but I walk on faith believing that the last point is true.

It’s easy to love the World, isn’t it? But for me, it is much easier with the support of someone greater than you and I. Just a thought.

Thanks for stopping by.
