Consider The Idea Of Transforming All Your Demands Into Joys, Instead Of Requirements

It is fairly easy for me to talk about how much we are loved by the Divine. I can use examples taken from life experiences, mysterious encounters, and a solid acceptance that I have always believed. So a couple of days ago when I was sharing some sad and disappointing feelings with a friend of mine, I was taken back by an insightfully wise idea she asked me to consider. She first reminded me of how lovely it is to consider the grace of God and how that grace is given in love unconditionally. “Yes” I said, agreeing with that completely. 

She then asked me if I could love myself the same way, with that same grace, so that I could give myself that full embrace from the Divine and not expect anything in return. I wouldn’t have to accomplish, prove, undertake, or finish anything. 

Would you join me to fill yourself with a refreshing breath of freshness? If you can accept Universal Love for everyone, can you practice this same unconditional love within yourself for yourself? Perhaps you have always demanded a great deal from yourself. Consider the idea of transforming all those demands into joys, instead of requirements.
