What is Love?

July 16th, 2009

I have received a number of positive emails from people following this Blog and some of them have requested more articles so I am writing this one in answer to their request.

 

What is Love?

 

I once facilitated an evening seminar on the topic of “What is Love?” and thought I might share with you some of what we discovered about love in that seminar.

 

When I asked the participants the question, “What is Love?” the responses were as varied as the number of people in the seminar. Everyone had a vague idea about what love was but couldn’t quite explain it. So I ask you the question now, “What is Love?”

 

Please pause in reading this article for a moment and on a sheet of paper write the statement, “Love is” then listen to the next thought your mind has and write it down. Then repeat the statement “Love is”, over and over in your mind and each time listen to the next thought your mind has and write it down. Do this for a couple of minutes and write down everything your mind thinks about love.

 

Next go over the list and evaluate it. What is your core belief system about love? Is it positive or is it negative? Does it support you in having love in your life or does it guide you into a life without love.

 

Now here is what we discovered about love in our seminar:

 

            Love is an experience we have in our body when we are in balance mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. That experience is there in our body all the time waiting for us to bring it out. It doesn’t come from other people, it comes from us and we are selective about whom we share it with. Why not shower it on everyone?

 

Let us take a look at these four sectors and find out what love is in each area so we can then balance our self in that area.

 

            Mentally love is having the person we love be perfect exactly the way they are and exactly the way they aren’t. We must give up all of our minds judgments, evaluations, comparisons and the decisions we have made about them. We must view them as perfect divine spiritual beings just as they are and just as we are. Then act accordingly with them.

 

            Physically love is serving the one we love completely one hundred percent with no thought of what is in it for us. It becomes more important to us that they have what they want and need than it is for us to have what we want and need. We look over at the one we love and discover what they want and need and we provide it for them. Flowers, candy, cloths, jewelry, a hug, listening to them when they need to talk, great sex, putting them to bed when they are worn out so they can rest and assuring them you will take care of everything while they are resting are all ways you can demonstrate your love for them physically.

 

            Spiritually love is being surrendered to God, or that power that is greater than us. It is important we have a way to release our worries, doubts and anxieties by giving them up to God. Coming from, “Thy will be done, I surrender to serve you”, builds a firm foundation for us to be alive and in love. We begin to listen to the soft voice in our head and follow its direction. We ask God to speak through us and act through us to love all and serve all.

 

            Emotionally we experience love when we open our heart. Our heart has no questions and our mind has no answers. If you are asking a lot of questions you know you are in your mind surviving and not your heart being alive and in love.

 

Because of times when we were hurt we have shut down our heart and walk around living in our mind. We begin judging, evaluating and comparing our self to others but we are not fully alive.  We can not shut down just a part of our heart. When we shut down any part of our heart we shut down our entire heart.  If we will not allow our self to feel angry when we are angry we also can not feel happy. If we will not allow our self to feel sad when we are sad then we can not feel bliss or ecstasy either.  We can not shut down just a part of our heart.

 

When we do open our heart we are at risk, we could get hurt. With our heart open we become vulnerable, passionate, intimate and at risk but we are fully alive. Would you rather be living from your heart and be alive and in love or be in your mind being right?  Good questions.

 

So to really experience what we call love we have to pay attention to each of the four sectors, Our Mind and it’s thoughts, Our Physical experience, Our Spiritual Connection and Our Emotional area, Our Heart, and make sure we are in balance in each of these areas.  Then we can experience True Love.

Our Favorite Fairy Tales Become a Self Fulfilling Prophecy:

May 18th, 2009

When we were young most of us had a favorite Fairy Tale and what ever that story was, we identified with one of the characters. As adults we now are acting out that character in our life.

 

In the story Cinderella, did you identify with or see yourself as Cinderella? Or did you identify with the ugly step sister or how about the cranky old step mother.

 

Which ever one you most identified with as a child has a lot to do with the way you live your life today. The influences of that character permeate through out your life.

 

We seldom recognize how we are acting out the role of a character we related to in our favorite Fairy Tale. We just think this is how we are; not realizing it is only because we said so.

 

For instance if you loved the story Cinderella and you wanted to be Cinderella then as an adult you would live your life along the story line of Cinderella.

 

What would that look like?  Well Cinderella was a victim, a victim of her wicked step mother and step sisters.  Do you go through life feeling like you are a victim of other people in your life? 

 

Cinderella had to work, work and work some more with little or no acknowledgement.  Do you work, work and work some more and receive little or no acknowledgement?

 

Cinderella was looking for a prince charming to come rescue her and take her away from her horrible life.  Are you waiting for a prince or princes charming to come rescue you and take you away from your boring life?

 

Are you looking for a Fairy Godmother to take away all of your problems and make your life wonderful?

 

We suggest that you think about your favorite story when you were growing up and see if and/or how that story is being acted out in your life today.

 

If the circumstances in your life today are similar to the hero or heroin in your favorite children story you might want to rewrite the story so that you can have your life be the way you want it to be today.

 

Sit down right now and write a new positive, powerful and wonderful Fairy Tale for your life to become today.  As you continue to affirm your new story, your life will begin to demonstrate the qualities of the new story.

 

You have the power, you are the author, you are the actor or actress in your very own Fairy Tale. Make it wonderful, magical and powerful and enjoy your new life.

 

Sincerely, Glenn Smyly

We Can and Will Resolve the Economic Crisis Within 30 days!

February 28th, 2009

 

 To: An Open Letter 

 

February 28, 2009

 

Hello, 

 

I declare that within thirty days we can and will resolve the economic crisis facing our people and our country. With your help and the help of all concerned people we can and will resolve the current economic problem facing our nation easily and effortlessly.

 

The government has not solved the problem in our economic crisis because they have not identified the problem.  They are throwing billions of dollars at the symptoms of the problem and yet the problem is growing worse every day. 

 

Every intelligent business person knows that there is a five step problem solving method:

 

 

 

1)      Identify the problem

 

 

 

2)      Brainstorm for solutions

 

 

 

3)     Pick one of the solution

 

 

 

4)     Take action and implement the solution to the problem

 

 

 

5)   Evaluate the situation, was the problem solved?  If not go back to number 1 and identify the problem, then go through the problem solving method again and do this until the problem is solved.

 

We are all very familiar with the symptoms of our problem; we are seeing and hearing about them continually. Bank failures, job loss and unemployment at its highest level in years, foreclosure’s, the auto industry crisis and the credit crunch are all symptoms of a very real problem.

 

Our government is spending money like a drunken sailor, throwing huge sums of money on extended unemployment benefits, to bail out the banks, the auto industry, and to try to loosen up credit markets again, so people who can’t pay their debts now can get more credit that they won’t be able to pay back in the future either.  

 

How is there effort a viable solution to our problem?

 

 Now I have identified the real problem.

The real problem is that people are not generating enough income to pay all of their expenses. 

 

The cost of goods and services has risen so quickly, (inflation) that people who were able to pay all their bills on time several years ago now find their income not enough to pay the increased cost for all of their expenses.  Their income did not increase enough to keep up with inflation. This problem of lack of enough income has lead to the symptoms we now refer to as an economic crisis.

 

Having identified the real problem, I then brainstormed for a solution to this problem of people not generating enough income to pay all of their debts?

 

After brainstorming a number of solutions, I then chose one solution and took action on that one solution.

The solution I chose was to build a, “predictable, significant, substantial, monthly residual income generating system”. A copyright, patented, and trademark protected, residual income generating system. A system which provides people with the additional income they need, whether they are working, sleeping or playing.

 

If you build it they will come!

 

 

 

I have built that system, it is up and running, it works and it will resolve the economic challenges so many people are experiencing today, however, I need your help to achieve my goal of eliminating the economic crisis within thirty days. 

 

You may find my system at www.afreemoneymakeover.com . This system is a resolution to the real problem people have, of not generating enough income.

 

At our website we help people improve their personal relationship with money by providing free on line money makeover lessons each month and we provide them with the opportunity to participate in our powerful, predictable residual income generating system. It is an easy effortless and simple resolution to the financial crisis people are going through.

 

We help them manage the emotional roller coaster caused by such unusual financial circumstances facing them, we also show them how to manage their mental gyrations and focus on positive outcomes to negative situations and we provide them with a powerful way to generate additional, significant, monthly residual income to supplement their income and take the pressure off of not being able to keep up with their bills 

 

PS: Here is a recent article about the Economic Crisis:

 

Economic Crisis Resolved!

 

The President, Democratic Congress and Senate are spending money like drunken sailors. There is no evidence that their spending has or will resolve the current economic crisis because they have not identified the problem. They continue to treat the symptoms i.e. – foreclosures, bankruptcies, bank failures and the auto industry failure etc.

 

The problem is, “There is a lack of income in our society right now.”

 

With so many job losses, unemployment at its highest ever and the price for goods and services continuing to rise, people are not generating enough income to keep up.

 

People who have money are not spending it out of fear they won’t have enough later and so we are in a downward spiral.

 

There is however, a resolution in site. Through good old American ingenuity, entrepreneurship and commitment to help others we have discovered some ways out of this economic mess.

 

In Massachusetts a School System was being forced to fire a number of their employees due to lack of funds.  They requested their workers forfeit one days pay a week so everyone could keep their job. Sixty percent of the workers agreed and thus no one lost their job.  Each worker was willing to reduce their income by twenty percent but they still had their jobs and some income. They may have had to tighten their belts a little to make ends meet but their commitment to help each other resolved the problem.

 

Now we have developed a simple and easy way to help our self and others avoid foreclosure, pay our/their bills on time and even have some money left over each month. 

 

Unlike the workers who gave up twenty percent of their income, in our plan people only have to give up one night at the movies a month or one “Latte” at Starbucks a week and everyone will be able to have the income they need to be responsible for paying their bills on time every time.

 

Would you like to receive over $5000 every month in residual income? Would $5000 a month help you pay your mortgage and other bills each month? Would you be willing to invest $19.95 a month to receive that kind of monthly income? If your answer is yes then come to www.afreemoneymakeover.com  and take advantage of our resolution to the economic crisis.

 

Our plan provides you with the opportunity to help yourself and others receive that kind of residual income whether you are working, sleeping or playing. The Free Money Makeover System is a simple, easy and effective way to help you and others resolve the economic meltdown facing us all today.

Careapy – The Lost Art of Self-Healing!

January 9th, 2009

Today I would like to talk with you about the value there is in having illness.

The natural state of the physical body is health. We don’t have to tell ourself how to breathe, how to regulate our temperature, or how to have our heart beat. We also do not have to tell ourself how to be healthy. Health is an automatic state of being.

When we are experiencing ill health something has gone wrong mentally, spiritually and/or emotionally which then affects us physically.

In today’s society when we become ill we go to the Doctor and ask him to fix us. The Doctor will look at our symptoms, make a diagnosis and then give us a prognosis of treatment for the symptoms. When those symptoms clear up we then develop another set of symptoms ad-nasueum.

The best question to ask yourself is, ”What value am I receiving from having these symptoms?”

The value we are receiving from our illness can be negative or positive, such as, we can feel sorry for ourself, have our own little pity party, we can have other people feel sorry for us. Often we use illness to get attention from others, to feel loved as if negative love is better than no love at all. We can use our symptoms to justify how come we aren’t being successful or why we have failed at some project.

When we become clear about the value we are getting from our illness we can determine if our suffering is worth the value.  If not we can give up the need for the value and the symptoms will clear up automatically, sometimes miraculously.

In Careapy we help people discover the mental, spiritual and emotional cause of their symptoms which empowers them to then correct the cause. When we know we are causing the symptom then we have the power to heal them as well. 

The Doctor did not make us ill and can not heal us.  We make ourself ill and only we can heal ourself. One of the greatest teachers of all time said, “Physician Heal Thyself!” So be it!

Thank you for spending time with me today.  Glenn Smyly
