Love and serve

Good morning everyone!!!

If you have been reading the thoughts for the day, you will see that our fear and feelings of scarcity make us desperate and reactive.

We become self consumed and manipulative, trying desperately to fill our need.

People sense our selfishness and then are not apt to give us what we want, creating a vicious cycle. We are not sincere. Creating a block, creating scarcity...

It is only when we are filling the needs of others that we open the flow of abundance, drawing people, love and kindness to ourselves...

Not demanding it.

If we can always come from a place of being of service, it positions us to be open to receiving everything we need...

The following story is a parable, apply it as you will.....

Have an awesome day.

Here is the thought for the day!!

There is an old story about a man who lived a long and worthy life.

When he died, the Lord said to him, "Come, I will show you hell."

He was taken to a room where a group of people sat around a huge pot of stew. Each held a spoon that reached the pot, but had a handle so long it couldn't be used to reach his or her mouth.

Everyone was famished and desperate; the suffering was terrible.

After a while, the Lord said, "Come, now I will show you heaven."

They came to another room. To the man's surprise, it seemed identical to the first room - a group of people sat around a huge pot of stew, and each held the same long-handled spoon. But here everyone was nourished and happy, and the room was full of joy and laughter.

"I don't understand," said the man, "Everything seems to be the same, yet they are so happy here, and they were so miserable inthe other place.

What in heaven's name is going on here?"

The Lord smiled, "Ah, but don't you see?

 Here they have learned to feed one another." 

  Namaste,
