In the absence of fear there is love, expansion, hope, faith, happiness and joy. In the face of fear they all disappear and we are left disappointment, despair and misery.<\/p>\n

What do you create in your life when fear is the motivating force? What sort of choices do you make in the face of fear? I have never made a beneficial choice that improved the quality of my life from a place of fear. When, on the other hand, I take the time to connect with the loving presence of my spirit, the angels and the divine my choices always create results in my life that improve the quality of my life and the people around me.<\/p>\n

So the question is: How can we make more of our choices based in love? What can we do to fill our lives with love?<\/p>\n


\nWhen we open the door at night the light dispels the darkness, the darkness doesn’t flow into the house extinguishing the light. So it is with love.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of things you can do to create more love in your life:<\/p>\n

Pray
Meditate
Go sit in a church
Sit by a running brook or the ocean – listen, smell and feel
Watch the sunrise or sunset
Go to a park and watch children play
Stop and smell the roses
Light a candle
Go for a walk in your favorite place
Make a list of everything and everyone you love
Consciously chose to feel love
Write down everything you are grateful for
Remind yourself you are love, you are loved and you are lovable
Listen to some uplifting music
Read some love poems<\/p>\n

How about you add some ideas of your own?<\/p>\n
