In today’s world, it has become easy to allow our hearts to close down, and to build walls between ourselves and others. In a world where we may fear an uncertain future, we can find ourselves operating in survival mode, a mode in which we feel we must think only of ourselves and our own preservation. It has been proven in studies that when people feel safe and loved, they naturally give more and help others as opposed to when they do not. It is only when we begin to build fears and anxieties that we begin to build walls shutting people out and shutting off the Light we have inside. The power each of us has to help each other is greatly underestimated. We are children of the Creator, and thus we are made up of His essence. We are Divinity and should be reminded of this potential each day. In an often cold world, the power we each have to be a beacon of hope and love for one another is unmatchable. Whether it is a smile and a kind word to someone new at the office who may be feeling uneasy at his first day, or taking the moment to ask the person who serves us our coffee each morning, “How are you?,” these simple acts of loving-kindness not only bring more love to the world, but are tremendous forces of positivity that have the capacity to remove sadness, negativity, and hopelessness from the hearts of so many. We can never underestimate that the right word or gesture of kindness at the right time can even save a life. We may have to act like steel at times, but inside we are fragile flowers that can only survive with love. This week, our hearts are awakened from a slumber. Loving-kindness emerges. A gentle, sweet mercy emanates in the world this week, and as it does, it inspires us to the power we have to change another’s life, and in the process, our own. Our hearts are asked to be opened to others this week, letting people in and creating a little more of the love that the world so desperately needs. It is when we let others in that we are then able to let our inner Creator out.
