Heaven or Hell

Message/Experiment of the Week:

Are you creating heaven on earth or hell? You can choose to create heaven by accepting things as they are and loving them flaws and all (including yourself). For example, you can accept that it is raining and love it. You may even want to go dance in the rain. By accepting what is and loving it wholeheartedly you create heaven on earth.

You can also choose to create hell by not accepting things as they are, focusing on flaws and how things should be better, and by withholding your love until some arbitrary standard is met. Instead of accepting that it is raining and loving it, you choose to focus on how much you hate rain and getting wet and how you wish it was sunny and how you can never love where you live because it is so rainy. That is hell on earth.

For an experiment this week, look for areas in your life where you are creating heaven and where you are creating hell. Then start creating more heaven in your life. As you start stepping into the life you truly want, it will eventually become your reality.
