Sporting the Right Attitude Love Relationship Series

When you are dealing with difficult people, it?s hard to love them. However, that?s the very thing that can help you overcome the challenge.

"Love" by Dynamite Imagery

We?re told many of the great spiritual masters and men through-out the ages used love when they were up against an enemy, but sometimes we just want to strike back at those who are giving us a hard time.

Oftentimes it?s easier to deal with those difficult people at work who we don?t care about, than in a love relationship. It?s harder because we care about those closest to us, and they may live under the same roof.

So what is the answer?

When someone you love is in a bad mood or arguing with you, that?s a signal, a doorbell ringing. It?s reminding you to surround yourself with love. Previously, you may have surrounded yourself with an armor of resistance.

However, the other person feels that resistance and fights back even harder. When you surround yourself with love, there is nothing for anyone to push up against.

That armor of love is like a magical shield that not only repels negative energy, but transforms opposition into peace.

Suddenly, you find that you don?t want to argue, and the other person has backed down. Maybe not immediately, but there is a noticeable shift, and you find you are not rattled like before.

The love you have for yourself is an energy that automatically affects an opposing person. Why? Because we are all energy with sending and receiving signals.

We?re talking about a love relationship here, but it works with anyone.

So how do you give yourself love? You don?t. You tap into the love that has always been inside of you, but covered by fears and doubts.

You can do this with awareness.

Here is a way that works for me in my marriage:

We have been given the great gift of visualization, but we don?t use it.? We usually use our imagination thinking about the worse things that could happen to us. However, love is the greatest power on the planet.

Take the time to sit in the quiet and place your attention on your heart.

Close your eyes and watch your breath inhaling and exhaling.

Next, focus on your breath going into your heart and breath coming out. This is opening your heart.

Imagine a loving light coming out of your heart and surrounding you. It can be a midst with colors. I imagine a pink cloud, other times a golden light. Throughout the day, tune into your heart breath. The more you focus on your love breath, the stronger it becomes.

You have to find what works for you. Remember, you are not trying to make love happen, or manipulate someone else. You are simply opening to the love that is already inside of you.

You don?t have to visualize, it?s just a tool of awareness.

This exercise has worked when I was in conflict with my husband and with my children. It worked when I was dealing with difficult people working for the television networks. Today I use it in my volunteer work teaching creative writing to incarcerated angry teen girls. The results are magical.

Don?t take my word. Try a heart opener for yourself.? Tap into your internal powers of love.

What have you got to lose but anger and continuous suffering?

Love, light and blessings,
