feel the love this love month

i didn't know what to blog about today, but i knew i wanted to blog :) instead of telling you how my weekend went... i would like to share with you an article from bo sanchez' website which i just read a few minutes ago. hope this will inspire you to live a positive life amidst all the negatives in our world. you may notice that most of what he wrote is about giving love and magnifying love. i thought it was just too appropriate for this month and can't help but share it with you all. hope it blesses you today!

Here are 6 strategies on how you can be a blessing-magnet, and be positive in a negative world:

1. Feel the love. Receive the love from the people around you, no matter how small or imperfect. Celebrate every little gesture of love you receive. Make it a big thing! And you’ll discover that you’ll receive more and more love.

2. Be grateful. Give thanks for every small blessing you receive. Before going to sleep, count at least 5 blessings you received on that day. Be grateful even for the bad things, knowing there’s a blessing inside. Gratitude attracts more blessings to come your way.

3. Trust. Yes, do all you possibly can! But at the end of the day, stop worrying. Surrender and trust God instead. Believe that the best is yet to come.

4. Have a vision. When you have a detailed, graphic, exciting vision burning in your heart, you can’t help but be positive. And here’s my true-to-life experience: That powerful vision in your imagination will attract all the blessings you need to fulfill that vision. You’ll be surprised. The blessings will just come, rolling down at your feet, begging that you receive them.

5. Love yourself. Be deliberate in loving yourself. Respect yourself. Don’t belittle yourself, don’t limit yourself, and don’t call yourself derogatory names. Meet your needs. Aggressively care for yourself. When you do, others will respect you, love you, and meet your needs as well.

6. Love others. Whatever love you give, you receive it back multiplied. So wake up each morning because you want to love. Make love the purpose of your life. When you make love the reason for every thing that you do, even if there are dark storm clouds around you, the sun will always shine in your heart.

i especially like the part where he said, "feel the love" -- parang na-imagine ko ang sarili ko in an alice dixson pose saying, "i can feel it!" :) haha!

here's bo sanchez and me, by the way :) ill tell you about this picture one of these days.
