Indispensable Love | Not your Unicorn and fluffy cotton candy love

Wellness Wednesday- Indispensable Love

Love is Indispensable

 

In the Wedding Industry, marriage and love is often looked at as all Unicorns and cotton candy, full of fluff and joy.  The couple’s future depends on just the one magical day that they exchange their vows and say I do.  In reality, love and marriage transcends over this one day of celebration.  From this day forward, the word Love is transformed from merely physical and material to a more abstract kind of Love that is Indispensable in developing maturity in your relationship with one another and all the relationships you build with other people.    This indispensable love that you will experience will bring patience in you, will bring out kindness in you, will turn you away from jealousy, will make you more humbling and less prideful.  This indispensable love makes you seek out what is truthful and not fall for the lies and wrongs that others create for their own enjoyment.  This love will give you hope and trust of the uncertainties that lies ahead.

This type of “Love” we all want is always there for us to experience but we need to be willing to be transformed and shed our old self to let the new Self experience this love in action in our life and relationships.   We can reach the highest level in our career, have all the money we can make, and be the smartest person in our inner circle, but without this Indispensable Love, emptiness and lack of purpose will take over.    Let all your relationships be built on this type of Love and not the fluffy cotton candy, unicorn kind of love that will disappear without much warning, and leaves you wondering if it ever existed.

Wellness Wednesday- Body, Mind, Spirit

What we “Believe” is what we “Become”.   A phrase we can all relate to, from what we eat, to what we read, to what we watch and who we interact with.  Being selective and having self- control to only choose things that will help us think healthy and be healthy physically will increase our energy and stamina to say no and decline those urges that can lead you into an unhealthy pattern in your life.

Being prepared and intentional is the first step to become healthier in mind, body, and spirit.   For a healthier mind, don’t let confusion be your companion, mistakes you’ve made be your truth you live by and let your name be defined by regrets and defeats.  Make intentional to see the good that happens in your life by being grateful.  For a healthier body, plan ahead by preparing your fridge and pantry with healthy meals and so when you have an emergency food crave you have something healthy available to combat those cravings.  For a healthier spirit, it starts by looking inside your soul and being open and vulnerable to what is truth.  Get rid of things that are superficial and embrace simplicity and to always see love when there is no love.  Being intentional in these 3 areas, you can be the living proof of who you represent.

Wellness Wednesday- Superhero Status

Superheroes has been a big Media Marketing frenzy these days from the rise of the Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and now Wonder Woman.  Why are we co captivated by these “superheroes”? Do we really feel like the world needs saving?  The answer to this is a definite “Yes”.   We all at times feel the need to be saved in all areas of our lives.

Nothing stirs our core more than the battle of good and evil and the rise of one single group/individual that sacrifices so much for the greater good.  Inside, all of us want to be that superhero, but are we willing to sacrifice what will matter most to make a difference for the greater good?

In a marriage, will we sacrifice our need to be pampered to and praised upon to make the relationship work? We always feel the need to be right and speak our mind even though we know the outcome will not serve the relationship well.  It is best to keep silent and compromise with your spouse so you can view the situation from all viewpoints, instead of selfishly trying to win the battle.

We all have good intentions in a relationship, whether it is with our spouse, friend, boss, co-worker or family but having good intentions alone will not make a shift or change in a relationship or situation.  It needs to go beyond “good intentions”, because talk and discussion can only go so far but it is the “action” behind the “good intentions” that will propel you forward and make an impact in a relationship or situation.

The “Superhero’s” secret to saving the world and come out on top is having an “action” that serves your “good intentions”.  Don’t let your good intentions not have an action, otherwise the good intention will change its purpose over time and turn into doubt, regret, and jealousy which will lead you astray , letting you think you are doing good in a relationship/situation but in actuality you may be causing more harm or adding more fuel to the fire.

As one superhero’s Motto goes:

Life doesn’t give us Purpose. 

We give life Purpose.
